Authorised retail points may also offer a battery replacement service.
Important: Only qualified personnel or an authorised service facility should replace
the battery. Unauthorised battery replacement may invalidate your warranty.
Charge the battery
Your battery has been partially charged at the factory, but you may need to recharge
it before you can switch on your phone for the first time.
You do not need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use
the phone while it is charging.
If your phone is off when you start to charge the phone, it automatically switches on.

then connect the micro-USB end of the USB cable to your phone.
2 When the battery is full, unplug the charger from the phone, then from the wall
outlet.
Get started 11
To avoid breaking the USB cable connector, be careful when connecting or
disconnecting the charger cable.
Charge from a computer

while charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly,
and it may take a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.
1 First connect the USB cable to the computer, then to your phone.
12 Get started
2 When the battery is full, first unplug the USB cable from your phone, then from
