To use the charger provided with your phone:
WARNING!

phone's charger jack and the other end into an
electrical outlet.
2. The charge time varies depending upon the
battery level. The maximum charge time for a fully
discharged battery is 3.5 hours.
Battery Charge Level
The battery charge level is shown at the top right of
the LCD screen. When the battery charge level
becomes low, the low battery sensor alerts you in
three ways: sounding an audible tone, blinking the
battery icon, and displaying LOW BATTERY
