Connect the charger to the phone.

Maximising battery performance

Charge your phone often. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently.
If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks. This consumes power. If you cannot move to an area with better coverage, turn off your phone temporarily.
Turn off 3G, Bluetooth™ wireless technology, any active Wi-Fi™ connection, and GPS when you do not need these functions.
Do not cover the phone antenna when you are engaged in a call.
