Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger.

Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.

• Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
• Lift up on the Charger/Accessory jack cover that covers the port on the bottom of your phone and swing it open.

• When charging is finished, first unplug the chargers power plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the chargers connector from the device.
• If you are using the older style USB 2.0 cable to charge your battery, plug the flat end of the cable into the smaller port in the devices Charger/Accessory jack.

Note: Before closing the Charger/Accessory jack cover, check to see if there is any foreign substance such as dust on sand on the rubber seal.

Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to the Standard Limited Warranty in your in-box H&S Guide.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery icon blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your
phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery
charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your devices display. Solid color indicates a full charge.

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off. You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a percentage value on-screen can provide a better idea of the remaining charge on the battery.

• From the Home screen, tap Apps icon > Settings > Battery icon > Show battery percentage.
