Charging the battery

The rechargeable Li-ion battery that comes
with your phone is ready to use, but is not
charged. That’s easy to do. We’ll show you
how below.

The first three times you use the battery,
make sure it’s completely drained before recharging. And then
recharge it fully. That will help to ensure its optimum
performance and a long life.

1. Connect the charger to your phone, and plug it into an

110V/220V socket.

2. The battery indicator in the corner of the screen will scroll

right and left to show you it’s charging. If the phone’s
battery has been fully drained, the battery indicator may not
immediately appear on the screen when charging starts.
And please don’t worry if the phone and charger become
warm while charging. That’s completely normal.

3. When fully charged, the battery indicator will stop scrolling

right and left.

4. Disconnect the charger from your mobile, and unplug.
