The battery comes partially charged. You can use the device while charging.

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.
Connect the USB cable to the charging head, and then plug the charging head into a standard outlet.
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 104.
