Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.

Charging the Battery

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

Note:

You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours. Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging, doing so will require additional charging time.

Important!

Verify that the battery is insta lled prior to connecting

the wall charger. If both the wall charger is connected and the battery is not installed, the handset will power cycle continuously and prevent proper operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.

1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.

2. Lift up on the Charger/Accessory jack cover that covers

the port on the bottom of your phone and swing it open.

Page 15

3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/ Accessory jack.

4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet. The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its charge state and percent of charge.

5. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the interface connector jack on the phone.

Important!

Before closing the Charger/Accessory jack cover,

check to see if there is any foreign substance such as dust or sand on the rubber seal.

6. Tightly close the multipurpose jack cover when you are finished so that no water can enter the port.

Your touch screen responds best to a light touch

from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic 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 the “Standard Limited Warranty” in your in-box guide.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

When the battery level becomes too low, t he phone automatically turns off.

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

•

Reduce the time your backlight stays on.

•

Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

•

Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

•

Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this

function will periodically query th e GP S s atell ites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

•

Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging

your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

•

Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and

interface functions.

•

Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions

have been consuming your battery resources.

•

Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary

applications.

•

Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background

applications that are still running. These m inimized applications can, over time, cause your device to slow down.

Maintaining water and dust resistance

This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress Protection rating system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of protection), and the water resistance rating is 7 (water resistant up to 1 meter

Page 17

for up to 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly. Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.

•

Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft

cloth.

•

Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to water

over 1 meter deep for more than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to salt water, wash the device with fresh water then dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries, salt may accumulate and block the microphone, earpiece, and spea ker.

•

When drying off your device, be sure to pat the earpiece (top fron t of

phone), microphone (bottom of phone), and speaker (rear of phone) with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as possible.

•

When making a call immediately after your device is wet, the

microphone may have water in it which may lower the volume that the other person will hear. After drying off the device, allow the device to air-dry before making a call.

•

The back and multipurpose jack covers may be loosened slightly if

the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise , they may not provide protection from water and dust.

•

Always keep the multipurpose jack cover clean and be careful to

avoid damaging it.

Note:

The touch screen may not be active in water.

Locking and Unlocking the Touch Screen

1. Press to lock the touch screen.

2. Press again to display the lock screen then

Linking Contacts

Linking Contact Information

Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social networking logins, and other similar accoun t information. For example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a corporate email account login because they are maintained separately and for different groups of people.

This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Corporate email, and Google. When you synchronize your phone with these accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.

If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a regular email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well as a Yahoo! chat account, when you merge these accounts into your Contacts list you can link all of her entries and view the information in one record.

The next time you synchronize your phone with your account s, any updates that contacts make to email account names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.

For more information about synchronizing accounts, see “Synchronizing Accounts” on page53.
