To charge the battery, please use only the power adapter and USB cable that come with your phone.

Don’t remove the battery from the phone while you’re charging it with the power or car adapter.

1.Connect the bigger end of the USB cable to the power adapter.

2.Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the phone.

3.Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery. Your phone may turn on when the battery is being charged.

As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light when the battery is being charged. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.

When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon is displayed in the status bar of the Start screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full

battery icon will be displayed in the status bar of the Start screen.

As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
