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

battery power level, with four bars indicating a full charge.
Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to
operate, a blinking empty battery icon appears and a tone
