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
continuously and prevent proper operation. Failure to

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.
Caution!
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.
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.
Caution!
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
