Charging with the USB Cable

USB Cable

NOTE

Make sure to correctly orient the

plug with the port before plugging it in.

When the phone is facing upward, the USB

logo on the cable will also face upward.

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with
the USB Cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on
your PC first. Connect one end of the USB Cable to the USB/Charging Port
on your phone (as shown above) and connect the other end to a USB port
on your PC. It’s best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop
PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.

NOTE

You may experience a slower charging rate when charging from your computer.

Optimizing Battery Life

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features
that run in the background. You can also monitor how apps and system
resources consume battery power.

Tips to extend the life of your battery

 Reduce the screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
 Turn off radio communications (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.) that

you’re not actively using. (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on
when you’re using an app that makes use of it).

 Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps

if you don’t need it.
