Charging the battery

Your phone's built-in battery is not user-removable. To replace the
battery, contact an authorised service centre. Do not attempt to remove
it yourself.
Use the provided USB cable and power adapter to connect your phone to an
electric socket.

Battery indicator

The battery indicator shows your phone's battery level.
Blinking red: The battery level is lower than 10%.

Getting started
Steady red (when charging): The battery level is lower than 10%.
Steady yellow (when charging): The battery level is higher than 10%.
Steady green (when charging): The battery is almost or already full.
If the battery temperature is too high, your device will reduce the
charging capacity to protect the battery.

Important information about the battery

Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifecycle and may eventually need to
be replaced. If you notice significantly reduced battery life, replace the
battery. Your phone's built-in battery is not user-removable. To replace the
battery, contact an authorised service centre. Do not attempt to remove
the battery yourself.
Your phone may get hot if it has been on for a long period of time,
especially in hot environments. If your phone is too hot, stop using it and
unplug it from any power source to let it cool down. Do not hold the phone
for long periods to avoid burn injuries.
Use the original power adapter and USB cable to charge your phone. Using
third-party accessories may reduce your phone performance or be
hazardous. Do not operate your phone or cover it or the power adapter
while your phone is charging.
The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient
temperature and age of the battery.
If your phone is very low on power, it plays an alert tone and displays a
message. If the battery level is extremely low, your phone automatically
turns off.
If the battery is completely empty, your phone may not turn on immediately
when you begin to charge the battery. This is normal. Allow the battery to
charge for a few minutes before turning your phone on.
