Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) are included with the phone, for charging the battery.
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 Annunciator Line shows battery power level. Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate, the empty battery icon will flash and a tone will sound. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, the phone will power off.

Arrows are used to represent the sequence of selecting successive options in longer, or repetitive, procedures.

Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation and numbers when you need to enter text.
Virtual QWERTY Keyboard
Your phone uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry. Use the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and other characters into text entry fields or applications. Access the keyboard by touching any text entry field.
The virtual QWERTY keyboard appears at the bottom of the screen. By default, when you rotate the phone, the screen orientation updates to keep the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.
Text Input Methods
Your phone offers two text input methods:
•
Swype
: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting your finger between words.
•
Samsung Keypad
: The Samsung Keypad is a virtual QWERTY keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen. The Samsung Keypad includes XT9 predictive text, which matches your key touches to common words so that you can select the word to enter it into your text.
•
Android Keyboard
: The Android Keyboard is a virtual QWERTY keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen. Android Keyboard, like the Samsung Keypad, includes predictive text.
Changing the Input Method
When entering text, you can select the text input method.

Entering Text Using Swype
Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.
This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your finger down on the “t”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
•
Spacing is automatic
: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and
start the next word.
•
Double letters
: Just “scribble” on the key.
•
Capitalization
: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that isn’t at the beginning of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the next letter.
•
Contractions
: Swype recognizes most words that include an apostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including the apostrophe.
•
Punctuation
: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and
make a selection.
•
Accented characters
: Just glide through the letters of the word.
Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.
•
Error correction
: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word you
want to change.
Configuring Swype
Configure Swype to your preferences.
