Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery, and comes with a wall charger for charging.

Note: 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.

Battery Indicator

The battery icon in the upper-right corner of the display shows battery power level, with four bars indicating a full charge. Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate, a blinking empty battery icon appears and a tone sounds. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, it will shut down.

Battery Cover

Your phone has a removable battery cover, covering the battery and a tab for attaching a strap.

Removing the Cover

Grasp the phone with both hands. Pull up on the slot provided, while lifting the cover up and off the phone.

Non-Supported Batteries

Samsung handsets do not support the use of a non-approved battery.

When using a non-supported battery, you will hear a series of beeps and you will see a warning message that indicates:

If you receive this warning, battery charging has been disabled.

Samsung charging accessories, such as the travel adapter and cigarette lighter adapter, will only charge a Samsung-approved battery.

Locking and Unlocking

Your phone offers two lock functions: locking the display, or locking the phone. Because this is a touch screen phone, the display prevents unintentional key presses and can minimize unnecessary battery drainage. Locking the phone can prevent unauthorized access to the information on your phone, while allowing access to the Keypad for call functions.

Tip: The default lock code is the last four digits of your telephone number.

Enter the lock code at the prompt.

Note: You may choose to lock the phone automatically when powered on. For more information, see “Phone Lock Setting” on page 65.
