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

3. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power

outlet. The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its charge state and percent of charge.

Warning!:

While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function due to an unstable power supply unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.

Getting Started 11

4. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s

power plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the USB cable connector from the device.
