Correct
Incorrect
Charging Head
USB Cable
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with your phone. Use only approved batteries and 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.
10
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 continuously and prevent proper operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause the phone to become damaged.
Important!
It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.
1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
2. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack.
3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory
jack.
4. 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.
Note:
Correct
Incorrect
This illustration displays both the correct and incorrect orientation for connecting the charger. If the charger is incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
5. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s power
plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s connector from the phone. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.
Important!
If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Social Hub” on page 179.
Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) is included with the phone, for charging the battery.
Note:
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.
Getting Started 11
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
The battery icon in the Annunciator Line shows battery power level. Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate, the empty battery icon will flash and a tone will sound. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, the phone will power off.
Non-Supported Batteries
Samsung handsets do not support the use of non-approved batteries.
Important!
Using a non-supported battery may damage to your phone.
When using a non-supported battery you will hear a series of beeps and see a warning message:

“
UNABLE TO CHARGE NON-SUPPORTED BATTERY. SEE USER
MANUAL
” If you receive this warning, battery charging has been disabled. Samsung charging accessories, such as the charging head and
cigarette lighter adapter, will only charge Samsung-approved batteries.
