3. Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet to begin charging.
Charging with the USB Cable
NOTE Make sure to correctly orient the
plug with the port before plugging it in. When the phone is facing upward, the USB logo on the cable will also face upward.
USB Cable
You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC first. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB/Charging Port on your phone (as shown above) and connect the other end to a USB port on your PC. It’s best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.
NOTE You may experience a slower charging rate when charging from your computer.

Optimizing Battery Life

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how apps and system resources consume battery power.
Tips to extend the life of your battery
Reduce the screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
Turn off radio communications (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.) that
you’re not actively using. (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an app that makes use of it).
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps
if you don’t need it.
The Basics
Use the Battery saver feature (accessed in the Settings menu) to control
data activity, Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth connection, and power used for the phone such as screen brightness and notification light.
NOTE Allowing other devices to use your device's hotspot connection will drain your battery
more quickly.

Touchscreen

Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use available apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone.
The following terms are used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen:
Touch or tap A single finger touch selects items. For example, tap an
icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.
NOTE Don't press too hard on the touchscreen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, firm tap.
Touch and hold Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and
not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a Context menu for editing a contact, touch and hold a contact entry until the menu pops up.
Drag Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
finger
, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
