maximizing the life of your Centro battery.

TIP To avoid draining the battery, charge your Centro every day, especially if you use your phone often.

DID YOU KNOW? If your battery ever becomes fully drained, your info is still stored safely on your Centro until you connect it to a power source and charge the battery.

1Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.

2Connect the charger cable to the bottom of your Centro. Make sure the arrow on the connector is facing up, toward the screen.

DID YOU KNOW? You can also trickle-charge your Centro without the AC charger by connecting it to your computer with the sync cable. Trickle-charging takes longer, however. Be sure to plug your computer into a power source, or your Centro could drain the computer’s battery. For the quickest charge time, use the AC charger.

When trickle-charging your Centro with the sync cable, the indicator light may not turn on. To make sure the battery is being charged, check the onscreen battery indicator.

3To confirm that your Centro is being charged, check the indicator light on your Centro.

•Solid red indicates that your Centro is being charged.

•Solid green indicates that your Centro is fully charged.
