Battery Charger
Your device comes with a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion
battery. When you first receive your device, it is important that
you fully charge the battery, described below.
!
Only use the charger and battery provided with your device
or approved by T-Mobile, or you risk damaging your device. Do
not insert battery chargers from previous Sidekick models into
the stereo headset jack.
If you attach your device to your computer via USB, be aware
that the power received may not be enough to charge your
device. For example, when computers are in “sleep” mode,
only a trickle charge may be supplied via USB. In this situation
you can lose more power than you gain.
1 Attach the battery charger to your device.
Locate the battery charger that came in the box with your
device. Insert the charger’s USB lead (plug) into your device’s
USB port. Now plug the power cord into a standard electrical
wall outlet.
An orange charge indicator light will go on and a lightning
bolt icon will appear over the battery icon in the title bar,
indicating the charger is connected and the battery is
charging. Note that if your device has discharged completely,
it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of
charging on the screen.
