Charging the Battery 

 

Your mobile phone can monitor and display the   

battery charge status. 

 

When connecting a cable to your device, make 

  sure that the cable is connected to the proper side. 




 

 

The remaining energy of the battery is indicated 

  by the battery level icon at the upper right corner   
of the display screen. 

 

When the battery energy is insufficient, the 

  mobile phone prompts "Battery low".   

 

Install the battery into the mobile phone before 

  charging the battery. 

 

Over time, unused device will discharge and 

  must be recharged before use. 




 

 

Insert the plug of the charger into an appropriate 

  power outlet. 

 

During the charging, the battery level grids in the   

battery icon keep flickering till the battery is fully   
charged.
