About Your Phone
• Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually
wear down and require longer charging times. This is
normal. If you charge your battery regularly and notice
a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging
time, then it is probably time to purchase a new
battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power this
product must be disposed of properly and may
need to be recycled. Refer to your battery’s label
for battery type. Contact your local recycling center for
proper disposal methods. Never dispose of batteries in a
fire because they may explode.
Extending Battery Life
• Turn off your display backlight
The backlight uses power. To turn it off, see page 59.
• Avoid keypad-intense functions
Activities that require intensive keystroke use (such as
playing a game or using messaging) reduce your
phone’s talk and standby time. Lock the keypad when
storing the phone in your purse or pocket to avoid
unnecessary keypad and backlight activations. See
page 135.
