Important information about the battery

•

Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifecycle and may eventually need to

be replaced. If you notice significantly reduced battery life, replace the

battery. Your phone's built-in battery is not user-removable. To replace the

battery, contact an authorised service centre. Do not attempt to remove it

yourself.

•

If your phone has been running for long periods of time, especially in hot

environments, heat may be pushed to the surface of the phone. If your

Getting started

phone is overheating, cease using it immediately and unplug it from any

power source to let it cool down. Do not hold on to the phone for too long

to avoid burn injuries.

•

Use the original battery, power adapter, and USB cable to charge your

phone. Using third-party accessories may reduce your phone's

performance or pose security risks. Do not operate your phone or cover it

with any object while it is charging. Do not cover the power adapter either.

•

The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient

temperature and age of the battery.

•

If your phone is low on power, it plays an alert tone and displays a

message. If the battery level is extremely low, your phone automatically

turns off.

•

If the battery power is depleted, you may not be able to power on your

phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. This is normal.

Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes before turning your phone

on.

Turning your phone on or off

•

To turn on your phone, press and hold the power button.

•

To turn off your phone, press and hold the power button to display an

option menu. Then touch

Power off

If your phone is slow to respond or you cannot turn it off, press and hold

the power button for 13 seconds or more to restart it.

•

Method 1: Press the power button to manually lock the screen.

•

Method 2: After being idle for a specified period of time, your phone

automatically locks its screen.

To set the screen lock method, touch on the home screen. On the
