Charge the Battery
When to Charge the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and USB cable) is included with the device for charging the battery from any standard outlet.
The battery comes partially charged. A fully discharged battery requires up to four hours of charge time. You can use the device while charging.
Note: It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.
Note: For fastest charging times, use the Samsung AdaptiveFast Charger that came with your device. This charger provides faster charging only when connected to devices that support Adaptive Fast Charging.
Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.
When the battery is low and only a few minutes of operation remain, 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
top right corner 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battery. For more information, see Battery.
)
1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/ Accessory port.
2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head, and then plug the charging head into a standard outlet.
3. Unplug the charging head from the outlet and remove the USB cable from the device when charging is complete.
Caution: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.
