Charge the Battery
Your Fire phone is not fully charged when you receive it.
Your Fire phone comes with a micro-USB cable and power adapter to charge your phone. Using the power
adapter, your phone will charge in under five hours.
Important: Charge your phone with the USB cable and power adapter that came with your device. Using another
power adapter or USB cable, or charging from the USB port on your computer, will increase charging time.
To charge your phone, connect the micro-USB cable to your phone and to the power adapter, and then
•
plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
Note:
When your phone is charging, a lightning bolt appears in the battery indicator. If you don't see a lightning bolt,
your phone is not charging.

"peek", to view the status bar at the top. If you'd like to display the battery percentage and charging status
continuously, open the Quick Actions panel, and then tap Settings > Display > Show status bar .To learn
more about peeking, go to
