Battery use

The following topics explain how to care for your phone’s non-removable battery.

Battery cautions

Storage: Avoid storing or leaving the phone with no charge remaining.

Saved information and settings may become lost or changed, or the
battery may become unusable. Charge once every six months before
storing or leaving unused for a long period of time.

Charge the battery

Follow these instructions to charge your phone’s battery using either the
included AC adapter or via USB connection on your computer.

Charge using the AC adapter

1. Connect one end of the data cable to the USB port located on the bottom
of your phone.

15

2. Connect the other end to the power adapter.

3. Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet to fully charge your phone.

• Use the power adapter that comes with your phone; using other adapters
may damage your phone.

• Charging your phone with a USB cable connected to a laptop will take
longer than with the power adapter.

• The phone will power off automatically when the battery is too low. Charge
the battery if this happens. When the battery is critically low, the phone
may need a few minutes to build a charge before turning back on. Playing
games or performing other activities while charging may drain the battery
and cause it to power off.

time. Before using the battery again, you must recharge it in order to power
on and use your phone normally.
