Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable, non-removable battery. How long the
battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your
phone. The features and accessories you use can affect battery life. For
example, leaving your Bluetooth® connection always on uses more power.
Long phone calls and frequent web browsing use up a lot of battery
power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile
network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using your phone, it is recommended that you
charge the battery.
Only the power adapter and USB cable provided in the box must
be used to charge the battery.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
Unboxing 17

the battery.

light. The light turns to solid green when the battery is fully charged.
When you charge the battery and the phone is on, the charging battery
icon
is displayed in the status bar. After the battery has been fully
charged, the charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon .
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it
overheats.
