Use of unapproved third-party power supply accessories may damage the phone and void the Limited Warranty for the product.

See Maximizing battery life for tips on making your battery's power last longer. 1 On the right side of your phone, open the charger/microUSB connector. 2 Connect the small end of the USB cable to the charger/microUSB connector. 3 Connect the other end of the USB cable to the AC charger. 4 Plug the AC charger into a working outlet. TIP You can also charge your phone battery by connecting your phone to your computer using the USB cable. Charging this way takes much longer than using the AC charger.
