Using the Battery
OK
Note:
This phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable
standard Li-Ion battery and wall charger.

time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time.
Important!:

the battery must be fully charged before first use, otherwise you
could damage the battery.
Battery Indicator
The battery indicator in the upper-right corner of the
display indicates battery power level. Four bars indicate a full
charge, while an empty icon indicates an almost empty
battery. Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low
to operate, a blinking empty battery icon appears and a
tone sounds. If you continue to operate the phone without
charging, it shuts down.

battery.

warning, battery charging has been disabled.

lighter adapter) will only charge a Samsung approved battery.
