Charge with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable,
you need to install the necessary USB drivers on your computer first. Connect one end of the
USB cable to the Charger/Accessory Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB
port on your computer. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop
computer. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.

Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-

powered USB hub.
