Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
䊳 Press and hold for two seconds.
Once your phone is on, it will look for a signal. When your phone
finds a signal, it enters standby mode – the phone’s idle state. 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, a PowerSave feature is automatically activated. When
a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby
mode.
In PowerSave mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for service
by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
Turning Your Phone Off
䊳 Press and hold for two seconds until you see the
powering-down animation on the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the

Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It
allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The
battery provides up to 6.3 hours of continuous digital talk time.
When the battery level is low, the battery icon blinks red and a
“Low Battery Recharge soon” message appears on the screen.
The phone sounds an alert every 5 minutes while the battery is
low, and every 1 minute during a call.
Tip
The PowerSave feature conserves your battery power when
you are in an area where there is no signal.
WARNING
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers with your phone. The failure to use a
Samsung-approved battery and charger may
increase the risk that your phone will overheat,
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
Note
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the
battery’s talk and standby times.

Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off, and
you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a Samsung-approved desktop charger, travel charger,
or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

accessories jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.

percent charged.
䊳 A battery icon ( ) indicates the current charge level of
the internal battery.
With the approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery
before it becomes completely run down.
Tip
It is recommended that you completely charge your battery
first before using your phone. This guarantees you begin
using your phone with a fully charged battery.
