charging status.

of the charger into an electric socket.

2. After being fully charged, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger from
the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

Always use authentic accessories to optimize your battery performance. Non­authentic accessories (eg. chargers) can damage your battery and even your phone.

• You can use the phone while it is charging.

• Keeping the charger plugged to the phone when the battery is fully charged will

not damage the battery. The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it, so it is
advisable to use an easily accessible power socket.

• If you do not intend to use your phone for several days, we recommend that you
remove the battery.

•If a fully charged battery is left unused, it will lose its charge over time.

• If a battery is being used for the first time or the battery has not been used for a

prolonged period, it may take longer time to recharge.

Optimize your battery performance

Here are some steps to help you optimize your battery performance.

- Always ensure that your phone profile is appropriately set to meet your actual usage. Profile
setting significantly impacts the phone’s battery performance. In general, Outdoor Mode is
the most power-draining setting while Silent Mode consumes the least amount of power.

- If you are not using applications like Bluetooth, WIFI, GPS and Apps, turn them off. And be
sure to lock your phone to prevent accidental pressing of the keys with the auto-lock feature.

- Adjust the intensity of your display screen’s backlight to low or medium level and for the
shortest duration. In general, the lower the backlight level and the shorter the duration, the
more power you will save.

- Avoid using or placing your phone near magnetic objects (eg. a radio or television) or on
metal surfaces, which will impact the network connection and ultimately drain power from
your battery.
