Charging the battery

Use the charger to charge the battery before using it for the first time. A computer can be also used to charge the battery by connecting them via the USB cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

•

When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

•

If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before turning on the device.
