Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion
battery, and comes with a wall charger for charging.

The battery comes partially charged. You must fully charge the battery
before using your phone for the first time. A fully discharged battery
requires up to 4 hours of charge time.

After the first charge, you can use the phone 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.

Battery Indicator

The battery icon in the upper-right corner of the display shows
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
sounds. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, it
will shut down.

the use of a non-approved charger, may cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.

Non-Supported Batteries

Samsung handsets do not support the use of a non-approved
battery.

•

Alerts issued by the President

•

Alerts involving extreme or severe threats to safety of life and property

•

AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)

Customers may choose not to receive Imminent Threat and
