Battery indicator
Your phone's battery level is shown on the status
indicator.
Blinking red: The battery level is lower than 10%.
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.
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 user­removable. To replace the battery, contact an authorized service center. Do not attempt to remove it yourself.
3
If your phone has been running for long periods of
time, especially in hot environments, heat may be pushed to the surface of the phone. If your phone is overheating, cease using it immediately and unplug it from any power source to let it cool down. Do not hold on to the phone for too long to avoid burn injuries.
Use the original battery, power adapter, and USB
cable to charge your phone. Using third-party accessories may reduce your phone's performance or pose security risks. Do not operate your phone or cover it with any object while it is charging. Do not cover the power adapter either.
The time required to fully charge the battery
depends on the ambient temperature and age of the battery.
If your phone is low on power, it plays an alert tone
and displays a message. If the battery level is extremely low, your phone automatically powers off.
If the battery power is depleted, you may not be
able to power on your phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. This is normal. Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes before attempting to power on your phone.
Powering on or off your phone
To power on your phone, press and hold the power button.
To power off your phone, press and hold the power button to display an option menu, and then touch
