Warning!:

Use only approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Battery Indicator

The battery icon in the Status Bar shows battery power level. 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.

Tip:

For helpful information about conserving battery power, see “Task Manager” on page 9.

Non-Supported Batteries
