Getting Started 8
Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion
battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable)
are included with the phone, for charging the battery.
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.
Non-Supported Batteries
Using a non-approved battery may damage your phone.
Samsung phones do not support non-approved batteries.
Samsung charging accessories, such as the Wall/USB
Charger, will only charge approved batteries.
Battery Indicator
The battery icon in the Status Bar shows battery power
level. Before the battery becomes too low to operate, the
empty battery icon will flash and a tone will sound. If you
continue to operate the phone without charging, the phone
will power off.
Tip:
For settings you can configure to extend battery life, see
“Power Saving Mode”
