The battery comes partially charged. You must fully
charge the battery before using your phone for the first
time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of
charge time.
After the first charge, you can use the phone while
charging.
Warning!
Use only Samsung-approved charging devices and
batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to
maximize battery life. Using other accessories may
invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Battery Indicator

power level. Two to three minutes before the battery
becomes too low to operate your phone, the empty battery
icon will flash and a tone will sound. If you continue to
operate the phone without charging the battery, the phone
will power off.

chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.
Before using your phone for the first time, you must fully
charge the battery. A discharged battery recharges fully in
approximately 4 hours.
Note:
Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the
wall charger. If both the wall charger is connected and
the battery is not installed, the handset will power cycle

or unplug the USB cable from the device.
10
