72 Battery Care and Maintenance Preliminary Draft
Recharging the battery
The Battery Charge icon that appears on your Home screen
indicates the how well-charged your battery is. The phone uses all
the power in the external battery (if attached) before it starts to use
the internal battery.
If you have two batteries, the battery icon tracks only one battery
at a time—only the internal or the external. It reflects the charge
level of the external battery as long as it has a charge. Otherwise,
it tracks the internal battery level. The more black bars there are,
the fuller the battery is.
When your battery is very low, the icon on your display blinks, the
phone beeps, and a message alerts you to the low battery level.
Select [OK] to acknowledge the message.
Caution
If the battery gets too low, the phone turns off and loses any
function you were doing.
The battery does not need to be completely drained before you
recharge it. To recharge the battery, plug the Global Travel Charger
(Model # GXTVL0001) that comes with your phone into the
bottom of your phone and into the wall. Your phone can be either
on or off (it does not matter). The general charge time to 90%
charge level is 2-1/2 hours.See page 10 for an illustration and
more information.
You can also charge the battery by purchasing a Car Power
Adapter (Model # GXCLA0001) or a Hand-free Car Kit (Model #
GXCKT0001); see page 79.
Removing the battery
1. To avoid losing data, press the End/Power key to avoid
losing data.
2. Press and hold the two battery release latches in the direction
of the arrow to release it from the phone.
