can use the phone immediately once it has been activated.
Attaching the Battery

an inch from the latch.

Charging the Battery
You can tell whether your battery needs to be recharged or not by checking the upper-right
corner of your phone’s display.

battery is sufficiently charged.

damage to the phone.
