Charge the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard

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.

Accessory port.

Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries
approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are
designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using

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.
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168.
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.

If the device heats up while charging the battery:
1. Disconnect the charger from the device and close
any running apps.
2. Wait for the device to cool down, and then begin
