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

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.
