Charging the battery
Charge your phone for at least 30 minutes before you turn on the phone for the first time. When you connect the phone charger cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a
phone charger, it may take a few minutes before the battery icon | appears on the |
screen. You can still use your phone while it is charging. Charging the phone over a long period of time, for example, overnight, does not damage the battery or the phone.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a certain time when the phone charger is connected. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent.
To charge the phone
1Plug the phone charger into a power outlet.
2Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a computer).
3Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your phone, with the USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging starts. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the LED lights up after you connect the phone charger cable to a power source.
4When the battery status LED is green, the phone is fully charged. Disconnect the USB cable from your phone by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not to bend the connector when removing the cable from the phone.
