The Basics 15 Charging with the USB Cable 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 USB Cable Cable to the USB/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. NOTE If there is not enough charge in the battery to turn on the phone, the LED lights at the bottom of the phone flash to indicate that the battery is charging. Once the battery has enough charge to turn the phone on, the flashing stops and the battery charge animation appears on the touchscreen. Optimizing Battery Life You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power. Tips to extend the life of your battery 㻌  Turn off radio communications that you aren't using. If you aren't using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them off (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you're using an application that makes use of it). 㻌  Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout. 㻌  Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other applications if you don't need it. 㻌  Use the Power saver feature in the Settings menu or the Power Control widget to control data activity, syncing activity, Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth connection, GPS connection, and power used for the device such as screen brightness, tap vibration, screen timeout, and front key light timeout.
