Installing the Battery
 
To get started, just slip the battery out of its cover, insert the 
battery and charge the battery.
 
Battery 
Covers
 
Your phone’s battery is shipped uncharged and encased in a 
protective cover. This handy cover keeps conductive material 
from touching the battery terminals and reduces the risk of 
injury or damage from a short circuit (see page 10). It’s a good 
idea to keep your batteries covered when they’re not being used.
 
Removing the Battery Cover
 
 
1. Pull the release latch
back toward the 
battery.
2. Lift the battery out.
 
Attaching the Battery Cover
 
The battery fits into its cover like a ski boot fits into a ski.
1. Place the battery’s “toe” into 
the compartment as shown.
2. Press its “heel” down until 
you hear it snap into place.
