Using the Battery

Note:

This phone comes packaged with a

partially charged rechargeable standard Li-ion battery and wall charger. 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.

Important!:

Although the phone can be used while the battery is charging, the battery must be fully charged before first use, otherwise you could damage the battery.

Battery Indicator

Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate, a blinking empty battery icon appears and a tone sounds. A “

BATTERY LOW

” notification will appear on the display. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, it shuts down.

battery charging has been disabled.

Samsung charging accessories (i.e. wall charger, and cigarette lighter adapter) will only charge a Samsung approved battery. To continue use of your handset press .

Note:

When using a non-supported battery the handset can only be used for the duration of the life of the battery and cannot be recharged.
