Prepare Your Device

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.

The battery comes partially charged. You must fully
charge the battery before using your device for the
first time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4
hours of charge time. After the first charge, you can
use the device while charging.

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

Your device comes with a charger (charging head
and USB cable) to charge your device from any
110/220 VAC outlet.

Caution Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.

When to Charge the Battery

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head,
then plug the charging head into a standard
ACpower outlet.

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

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of
talk time 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, not by turning off the back
light, but by entering the dimming mode.

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

► For a quick check of your battery level, glance at

the battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your device’s display. Solid color
(

) indicates a full charge.

You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Having a percentage value onscreen can
provide a better idea of the remaining charge on
the battery. For more information, see “Battery”
on page72.
