1. Recharge
If you see the red empty battery icon your iPhone may not be able to work at all until there is a minimum charge in the battery. If the iPhone’s battery is totally drained you may not see the battery recharge image for several minutes. If the display is blank when you plug it in wait a while to see if the icon makes an appearance. If you see the red ‘filler’ of the battery icon flash three times and then the screen goes black, it means that iPhone is not receiving power to charge. Remember:
always plug the iPhone into a
high-powered USB source such as the mains charger or one of the main USB ports on a computer that is plugged in. Firewire chargers will not work. 2. Restart To restart your iPhone press and keep holding down the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the handset until the red slider appears onscreen. Slide it
across to turn it off then repeat to turn the phone back on. Note for iPhone 7 and 7S users:
Press and hold
the Sleep/Wake button on the right top side of the phone. If the iPhone is frozen and can’t be restarted in the normal way do the following: •
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds
•
If the red slider appears or the screen dims, keep pressing the two buttons until the Apple logo appears. Note for iPhone 7 and 7S users:
Press and hold
the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons simultaneously to force a restart.
