Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can cause damage to the phone.

Battery Indicator

The battery icon in the Status bar shows the battery power level. Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate your phone, the empty battery icon flashes and a tone sounds. If you continue to operate the phone without charging the battery, the phone powers off.

Installing the Battery

1. Remove the battery cover. (See “Removing the battery

cover” on page 6.)

2. Slide the battery into the compartment (1) so that the

tabs on the end align with the slots at the bottom of the phone. Ensure that the connectors align.

3. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

Removing the Battery

1. Remove the battery cover. (See “Removing the battery

cover” on page 6.)

2. Lift the battery up by the slot provided (1).

Before using your phone for the first time, you must fully charge the battery. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.

Note:

Verify that the battery is installed before connecting the wall charger. If the wall charger is connected and the battery is not installed, the handset power cycles (powers on and off) continually and does not operate properly. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can damage the phone.

3. Lift the battery up and out of the phone (2).

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with your phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.

Important!

It is recommended that you fully charge the battery before using the device for the first time.

1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.

2. Insert the USB cable into the phone’s Charger/

Accessory jack.

Page 17

4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power

Incorrect

outlet. The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its charge state and percent of charge.

Warning!

While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function due to an unstable power supply, unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.

5. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s

power plug from the AC wall outlet, and then disconnect the USB cable connector from the device.

Note:

This illustration displays both the correct and incorrect orientation for connecting the USB cable. Failure to connect the USB cable correctly may damage the accessory port and may void the phone’s warranty.

3. If using a wall charger, plug the charging head into a

standard AC power outlet. If using a computer, remove the charging head and plug the USB cable into computer’s USB port.

Important!

Please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger or a nonmetallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 190..
