Remove the SIM card
Switch the phone off, unlock and pull out the holder, and pull the card out of the holder.
Charge your phone with a USB charger
Your battery has been partially charged at the factory, but you may need to recharge it before you
can switch the phone on for the first time.
Make sure you use a compatible USB charger to charge your phone.
1. First connect the USB cable to the charger, and plug the charger into a wall outlet, then connect
the micro-USB end of the cable to your phone.
2. When the battery is full, disconnect the charger from the phone, then from the wall outlet.
You don't need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use the phone while
it's charging.
If your phone is off when you start charging, it automatically switches on.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator is
displayed or before any calls can be made.
Tip: You can use USB charging when a wall outlet is not available. Data can be transferred while
charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly, and it may take
a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.
