battery icon displays the charging status:
Maximizing battery
life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximize the life of
your battery by following a few easy
guidelines:
TIP
If the battery is fully drained, it may take a
few moments for the indicator light to turn on
when you begin charging.
TIP
If the indicator light doesn’t turn on when
you connect your smartphone to the AC
charger, double-check the cable connection
and the electrical outlet to which it is
connected.
A red lightning bolt indicates that
the battery is connected to a wall
outlet and is charging.
A green lightning bolt indicates
that the battery is connected to a
wall outlet and is fully charged.
A partial battery without a
lightning bolt indicates that the
battery is not connected to a wall
outlet and it has some power.
An almost empty battery that is
red at the bottom indicates that
you need to charge the battery
immediately.
TIP
To see exactly how much power is left in
your battery, tap the onscreen battery icon.
