discharged battery requires up to four hours of
charge time. You can use the device while charging.

Caution: Use only Samsung-approved charging

designed to maximize battery life. Using other
accessories may invalidate your warranty and may
cause damage.

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes
of operation remain, the battery icon blinks
and the device sounds a warning tone at regular
intervals.

In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power by dimming the screen.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

► For a quick check of your battery level, view the

battery charge indicator located in the Status
Bar of your device’s display. A solid color
indicates a full charge.

You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Viewing a percentage value can provide
a better idea of the remaining charge on the
