Getting Started 10
Charge the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard
Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and USBcable) is included with the device for charging the battery from any standard outlet.
The battery comes partially charged. You can use the device while charging.
1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/ Accessory port.
Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries
approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using
other accessories may void your warranty and may
cause damage.

3. Unplug the charging head from the outlet and remove the USB cable from the device when charging is complete.
When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is low and only a few minutes of operation remain, the device sounds a warning tone at
regular intervals.
In this condition, your device conserves its remaining
battery power by dimming the screen.
Getting Started 11
When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.
For a quick check of your battery level:
► View the battery charge indicator located in the top
right corner of your device’s display. Asolid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
You can also choose to display a percentage value.
Viewing a percentage value can provide a better idea
of the remaining charge on the battery. For more
information, see “Battery” on page169.
While charging, the device and the charger may become hot when using wireless charging or fast
charging. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or
performance and is in the device’s normal range of
operation.
The charger may stop charging if the battery becomes
too hot.
If the device heats up while charging the battery:
1. Disconnect the charger from the device and close any running apps.
2. Wait for the device to cool down, and then begin charging the device again.
If the lower part of the device overheats,
check for damage to the connected USB cable. Replace the damaged USB cable with a new Samsung-approved cable.
If using a wireless charger, do not place foreign
materials between the device and the wireless
charger.
