Charging the battery 

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. For maximum battery 
performance, it is recommended that you first use up the battery power 
and then charge it completely. A new battery’s full performance is achieved 
only after three complete charge and discharge cycles. 
1.  Connect your travel adapter to the left side of your mobile phone as 

shown in the diagram.  

2.  Connect the other end of the travel adapter to the mains socket. 
3.  When the battery is being charged, the display will show the animation of 

a battery being filled up. 

4.  When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger.
