Recharge


This screen means to keep iPhone connected so it continues charging. 

  • Use a high-power USB port such as the one on your computer, or use your iPhone AC adapter.

  • Don't use the USB port on your keyboard because it is a low-power port and iPhone will not charge.

  • Make sure you are using USB to charge. Accessories that use FireWire to charge are not supported with iPhone.

  • If you see the red part of the battery image flash three times and then the screen goes black, it means that iPhone is not receiving power to charge.
