Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery. Only use Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Use
of other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

The battery indicator ( ) in the upper-right corner of the display indicates power level. Monitor the battery strength and ensure your battery is adequately charged.
Five bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
An empty battery icon ( ) indicates a near empty battery.
A blinking empty battery icon ( ) and a tone sounding indicate you have two to three minutes before the battery is too low to operate the phone.
If you continue to use your phone without charging its battery, the phone will shut down.
Activating Your Phone
Contact your Wireless Carrier and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your phone supports.
Turning Your Phone On
1. With the phone closed, press and hold the key until
the display lights.
Note:
As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the antenna while using your phone as this can affect call quality and can cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.
2. The phone begins searching for
a network signal. Once the phone finds a signal, the time, date, and day appear near the top of the display. You’re now ready to place and receive calls.
Note:
If you are outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area, the No Service icon ( ) appears at the top of the phone’s display. If you cannot place or receive calls, try later when service is available, or at another location.
Turn Your Phone Off
With the phone closed, press and hold the key for two or more seconds. Your phone powers off.
Note:
If your phone is on and you press for less than one second, the phone will not power off. This prevents your phone from being turned off accidentally.
