There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can
charge the battery before it is discharged.
Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct
sunlight).
As a protection against damage, your device stops charging when the
batterys temperature is extremely high or low. In high temperature
conditions, the charging stops when the batterys temperature gets
above 70C (158F) and continues when the temperature lowers to 60C
(140F). In low temperature conditions, the charging stops when the
temperature gets below -5C (23F) and continues when the
temperature rises to 0C (32F).
If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully
charge the battery at least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the
battery can affect the charging performance.

you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC charger
soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation.
You can monitor the battery power by tapping Settings System

Power. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power
control panel.
When the battery is low, your device will pop up a warning message and a
beep will sound. You should save your data and recharge the battery
immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your device will turn
off automatically. You need to connect the device to external AC power for
charging before you can use it again.

limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser
9-4 Regulatory Information

required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 0.374 W/kg
(for the 3G model) or 0.116 W/kg (for the non-3G model).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: QYLPHS8-PP, QYLAPM6658, and QYLPS336R.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
