For more detailed safety information, see "Safety" on page 95.
Important
Important Safety Precautions 2
Getting Started
Installing and Charging the Battery
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery. It allows you to
recharge your battery before it is fully drained. When the battery is weak and only a
few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and a message repeats at
regular intervals on the display. If this happens, the display dims to conserve the
remaining battery power. When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before
it runs out of power. You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but this
causes the phone to charge more slowly.
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibration mode, playing games,
camera and browser usage affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Important: The battery must be fully charged before you use the phone for the first
time; otherwise, you could damage the battery.
Installing the Battery
To remove the back cover, use a fingernail in the groove to lever the
1.
cover up until it clicks, then pull the cover in the direction shown to
remove it.
Warning! When removing the battery cover with a fingernail, the nail might break.
3 Getting Started
2. Insert the top end of the battery into the phone housing with the label
side down. The gold contacts on the end of the battery should match up
with those on the phone.
3. Push the top end of the battery down until it snaps into place.
4. Replace the battery cover.
Removing the Battery
Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or
1.
messages.
Getting Started
2. Remove the back cover.
3. Use your finger to lift the battery (top end first) up and away from the
phone.
Charging the Battery with the Travel Adapter
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-ion battery. Use Samsungapproved charging devices and batteries. The icon indicates that the battery
is full. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the
phone sounds a warning tone.
Getting Started 4
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and
void the warranty.
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or
messages.
2. Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a standard 120/220V AC
wall outlet.
3. Insert the end of the adapter into the charger/ accessory connector at
the side of the phone.
Turning Your Phone On and Off
1. To turn your phone on, press and hold the End key until the phone
switches on. Once your phone is on, it displays “Looking for Service”.
When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters Idle mode. At
this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching,
the phone enters Power Save mode and periodically searches for a
signal. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to Idle
mode.
2. To turn your phone off, press and hold the End key until you see the
powering down animation on the display screen.
