Battery Charge Indicator

The display icon (in the lower right corner of the phone’s display window) tells you the status of the battery’s charge.As the battery charge level goes down,sections of the battery icon disappear.When the battery charge level is extremely low,the battery icon will blink and a tone will sound.

When the battery is completely discharged,a tone will sound and the phone will turn off automatically.Watch the indicator to be sure the battery charge is at an acceptable level.

If your battery seems to be losing its charge rapidly,it may need to be conditioned.This is done by using the Conditioner feature of the Samsung Rapid Desktop Charger.(See “Using the Conditioner Cycle”on page 10.)

Charging Your Battery

Rapid Desktop Charger with Conditioner

1. Insert the battery (with the phone attached) into the front compartment.

The Back Compartment is used for charging an unattached battery and/or conditioning the battery.

A Red Light on the charger means the battery is being charged. A green light means the battery is at least 90% charged.

If the standard battery is completely discharged,it will fully recharge in approximately two hours.(The extended battery takes up to three hours to fully recharge.)

If you leave the power on your phone turned ON while it is in the charger,it will take longer to recharge the battery.It will not harm the battery to remain in the charger once it is fully charged.
