batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your
warranty and may cause damage.
Use the desktop charger
The desktop charger operates from a 120/220 VAC wall
outlet. It also acts as a cradle to hold your phone in a
convenient, easy-to-use position while charging.
1. Plug the AC plug from the desktop charger into a
standard 120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.

display indicates battery power level. Three bars indicate a
