Charging the battery

You are advised to fully charge the battery. Charging status is indicated by a percentage displayed on screen while the phone is powered off. The percentage increases as the phone is charged.

Learn more about battery life and proper use to maximize your battery's performance.

- Don't use or place your device in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures, whether too high or too low, can accelerate battery degradation and reduce its overall lifespan. For optimal performance, the manufacturer's recommended operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).

- To minimize the effect, it is recommended to use fast charging only when necessary and avoid keeping the battery at high charge levels for extended periods.
