2. Charging the Phone
    To ensure that the phone works well, please follow these guidelines:

Insert the Lightning cable into the Lightning Connector on the bottom of the phone. The lightning cable looks like this:. When the cable is inserted correctly, the indicator sound is played or the phone vibrates. Refer to Tips and Tricks to learn about conserving battery life.
