Charging The Battery - Sony Xperia P User Manual

Charging the battery

Charge your phone for at least 30 minutes before you turn it on for the first time. When
you connect the phone charger cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a phone
charger, it may take a few minutes before the battery icon
You can still use your phone while it is charging. Charging the phone over a long period
of time, for example, overnight, does not damage the battery or the phone.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then it charges again after
a certain time when the phone charger is connected. This is to extend battery life and may
result in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent.
To charge the phone
1 Plug the phone charger into a power outlet.
2 Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a
computer).
Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your phone, with the

USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging starts. If
the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the LED
lights up after you connect the phone charger cable to a power source.
4 When the battery status LED is green, the phone is fully charged. Disconnect the
USB cable from your phone by pulling it straight outwards. Be sure not to bend
the connector when removing the cable from the phone.
Use the charger and USB cable provided with the phone to ensure faster charging.
