1 Getting Started

1.1 Battery

The battery is in the box with the mobile phone. The battery is not fully charged when

Battery Use：When the battery needs charging, the phone will show battery low icon.
Please charge the battery, otherwise you may lose any unsaved files. When the battery
levels fall below the minimum level the phone will automatically power-off.

While charging an animated icon will appear in the top right corner of the screen. The
charger and the mobile phone may become hot during charging. This is normal.

Warning:

The stated charging temperature ranges from 0℃ to 40℃. Please do not use charging

equipment if the temperature exceeds the range. Always use the charger provided by the
