Charging the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery must be charged for 4 hours at least before being used for the first time. It reaches its optimum capacity after a few cycles of use.

When your battery has been discharged, the empty battery icon flashes. In this case recharge your battery for at least 15 minutes before making any calls in order not to be cut off quickly.

To recharge the battery:

Connect the charger to a socket.

Plug the end of the cable into the bottom connector of the phone.
