Getting Started
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. A fully
discharged battery requires up to four hours of
charge time. You can use the device while charging.
Caution
: 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.
1. Locate the USB charger/Accessory jack.
2. Insert the USB cable into the device’s
USB charger/Accessory jack.
3. Connect the USB cable to the charging
head, and then plug the charging head into a
standard outlet.
4. When charging is complete, unplug the charging
head from the outlet and remove the USB cable
from the device.
Caution
: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery can cause damage to the 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 upper-
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
