Battery life definitions<\/div><\/b>:

\x27Talk\x27 time is based on continuous voice only usage (not including Bluetooth), without any data, advanced features or messaging.<\/div><\/li>
\x27Standby\x27 time is based on the length of time a device stays powered on (starting with a fully charged battery) without any voice, data, advanced features or messaging usage.<\/div><\/li><\/div><\/ul><\/div><\/div>
Factors that impact battery life<\/div><\/b>:
Signal strength, coverage and signal type:

Factors that impact charging<\/div><\/b>:
Charging accessories
Ensure a manufacturer approved (included inbox) or ɧ»¢ÊÓƵ\u002Dapproved battery charger and USB charger cable are being used.
All tablets and certain smartphones use 2.0 Amp battery chargers. Use only the charger included in\u002Dbox, or a VZW\u002Dapproved 2.0 Amp battery charger. Attempting to charge these devices with a 1.0 Amp charger may be ineffective or extend the amount of time needed to fully charge the device.<\/div><\/div>
If your device included a rapid charger, use of any other charger increases charging time.<\/div><\/div>
If using a wireless charger, ensure that it is Qi certified and marked with this logo by the Wireless Power Consortium<\/a>:<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/li>
If using a wireless charger:
Ensure the charging plate is plugged in.
Align the device on charging plate until both the device and charging plate indicate it\x27s charging.
If the device does not indicate it\x27s charging, remove any possible obstructions (e.g., pillow, cover, etc.).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>
The device should be left on the charger for at least 1 minute to ensure device is charging properly.<\/div><\/li><\/div><\/ul><\/div><\/li>
Don\x27t rely on the vehicle power adapter or a USB cable\u002Dto\u002Dcomputer as the primary means of charging the device.
The vehicle power adapter is meant to be a temporary low battery level solution until the device can be properly charged.<\/div><\/div>
USB Cables are primarily designed for data transfer and USB ports often don\x27t provide enough power to properly charge the device.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/div><\/ul><\/div><\/li><\/div><\/ul><\/div><\/li><\/div><\/ul><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/section><\/div> <\/article> <\/body>\n<\/html>'; var parsedkb = $($.parseHTML(htmlString)); $('#kbArticleNew').html(parsedkb);
