automatically turns off.

►View the battery charge indicator located in the top
right corner of your device’s display. Asolid color
( ) indicates a full charge.
You can also choose to display a percentage value.
Viewing a percentage value can provide a better idea
of the remaining charge on the battery. For more
information, see “Battery” on page142.
While charging, the device and the charger may
become hot when using wireless charging or fast
charging. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or
