Basics
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and accessories that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend. How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web browsing use up much battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
11
Basics
1. Connect the large end of the USB cable to the power adapter. 2. Connect the small end of the USB cable to the phone.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery. Your phone may turn on when the battery is being charged. As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light when the battery is being charged. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged. When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon is displayed in the status bar of the Start screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full battery icon will be displayed in the status bar of the Start screen.
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.

Finger gestures

When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.
