Assemble Your Device

This section helps you to
assemble your device.

Install a Memory Card

You can install an optional microSD or microSDHC
memory card (not included) to expand available
memory space.

Note: A memory card can be installed at any time; it
is not necessary to install it prior to using the device.

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

For more information on installing a memory card,
see Install a Memory Card.

Charge the Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard
Li-Ion battery. A Wall/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.

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

2. Connect the USB cable to the charging
head, and then plug the charging head into a
standardoutlet.

3. When charging is complete, unplug the charging
head from the outlet and remove the USB cable
from the device.

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 upper­right 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.
