6 The Basics Charging with USB You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC first. Connect one end of the USB cable to the charger port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your PC. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source. NOTES G Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-powered USB hub.
