to lift and remove the cover.

recommended that you keep a microSDXC card installed and
not remove or replace it unnecessarily.
3. Press the cover gently back into place until you hear a click.
Charging the Battery

As you charge your phone, the lock screen will show you the exact
battery level on the status bar each time you wake up your phone.
