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. You can use the device while
charging.
1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/Accessory port.
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 void 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. Unplug the charging head from the outlet and remove the USB
cable from the device when charging is complete.

12Set Up Your Device
When to Charge the Battery
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” on page160.
While charging, the device and the charger may become hot. This does
not affect the device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s
normal range of operation.
The charger may stop charging if the battery becomes too hot.
