Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
The battery provides up to four hours of continuous digital
talk time.
When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left,
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
