Grip the battery at the top end and lift it up and out of the battery compartment.

1. Position the battery cover over the battery compartment and securely press down around the edges until you hear clicking. Press down all the way around the outside of the cover to create a tight seal.

Note: Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP67 rating, which tests submersion up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Not shockproof. Covers must be tightly closed.

Caution! Before closing the cover, check to see if there is any foreign substance such as dust or sand between the rubber on the back of the cover and the sealing area.

To avoid water damage, ensure that the back cover is completely closed by pressing just below the flash.

Caution! When replacing the battery cover, do not apply pressure to the screen (“squeeze”) as this can damage the screen.

Before using your device for the first time, you must fully charge the battery. It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.

Note: Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger. If both the wall charger is connected and the battery is not installed, the handset will power cycle continuously and prevent proper operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause the device to become damaged.

Note: If the charger is incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.

Caution! Be careful not to damage or detach the USB cover. A damaged or missing cover can result in water damage to the device.

1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.

2. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack.

3. Carefully remove the cover and insert the USB 3.0 cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory jack.

4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet. The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its charge state and percent of charge.

When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s power plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s connector from the device.

If you are using the older style USB 2.0 cable to charge your battery, plug the flat end of the cable into the smaller port in the device’s Charger/Accessory jack.

Warning! While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function due to an unstable power supply unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.

This device is rated IP67. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly. Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device:

• Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.

• Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to water over 1 meter deep for more than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to salt water, wash the device with fresh water then dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries, salt may accumulate and block the microphone, earpiece, and speaker.

• When drying off your device, be sure to pat the earpiece (top front of phone), microphone (bottom of phone), and speaker (rear of phone) with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as possible.

• When making a call immediately after your device is wet, the microphone may have water in it which may lower the volume that the other person will hear. After drying off the device, allow the device to air-dry before making a call.

• The back and multipurpose jack covers may be loosened slightly if the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise, they may not provide protection from water and dust.

• Always keep the multipurpose jack cover clean and be careful to avoid damaging it.

Note: The touch screen may not be active in water.

The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

• Reduce the time your backlight stays on.

• Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

• Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

• Deactivate your GPS Location functionality when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

• Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

• Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions.

• Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources.

• Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.

• Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.

• Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
