device automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on. For
a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-
right corner of your device’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery
icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Samsung-approved desktop charger, travel adapter, or vehicle power adapter to
charge your battery.
Note Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to do
so may increase the risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting
in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
WARNING Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
