Battery Installation, Charging, and Care

Your Sprint PCS Phone package includes a partially charged, rechargeable battery so that you can use the phone immediately after it is activated.

Installing the Battery

To attach the battery to your Sprint PCS Phone:

1. Hold the battery so that the metal contacts on the base

of the battery line up with the metal contacts on the base of the phone.

2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top

of the battery about a quarter of an inch from the latch.

3. Gently slide the battery toward the top of the phone

until it snaps into place.

Dual-Slot Desktop Charger

The Dual-Slot Desktop Charger contains:

• Front compartment for charging the battery while attached to the phone

• Rear compartment for charging the battery alone (not attached to the phone)

• Red light to indicate that the battery is charging

(A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature that is too high or too low, or that the battery is misaligned in the charger. Please check the charger and battery.)

• Green light to indicate that the battery is fully charged

Getting Started

Charging the Battery

To charge the battery using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger:

1. Plug the power cord of the charger into a wall outlet.

2. Select one of the following options:

• Insert the entire phone with battery attached into the

front compartment of the charger.

• Insert a single battery (alone, not attached to the

phone) into the rear compartment of the charger.

When two batteries are in the charger, the batteries charge simultaneously. If you charge the battery while it is attached to your Sprint PCS Phone, the Battery Charge Indicator activates. A green LED indicates a full battery charge.

A completely discharged standard battery recharges fully in about 2.5 hours in the front slot of the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger. The extended battery recharges in about three hours in the front slot of the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger. Leaving your Sprint PCS Phone powered on during charging or charging batteries simultaneously increases charging time. Leaving the battery in the charger once it is fully charged does not harm the battery.

Note: Use only the Samsung-approved Dual-Slot Desktop Charger with your Sprint PCS Phone by Samsung. Using the wrong charger could damage the battery.

Battery Charge Indicator

The Battery Charge Indicator displays in the upper right corner of the screen and indicates four levels of charge. Three solid bars indicate a fully charged battery. When the battery charge level is low or empty, a clear Battery Charge Indicator (no bars displayed) flashes on the screen.

Getting Started

Caring for the Battery

Use only Samsung-approved batteries, desktop and travel chargers. These chargers maximize battery life and performance. Using other batteries or chargers may invalidate your warranty and may damage the battery.

For proper battery care, please follow these guidelines:

• To avoid damage, charge the battery in temperatures

that range from 32°F to 104°F (O°C to 40°C).

• Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in

high humidity areas (such as a bathroom).

• Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).

• Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the

battery, as injuries or burns may result.

• Replace the battery when it no longer provides

acceptable performance.

• Do not store the battery in high-temperature areas for

a long time.

• Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or

short-circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns may result.

Table 3: Battery Storage Temperatures

Recommended Storage Temperature Ranges

Less than one month 4°F to 122°F (-20° C to 50° C) More than one month -4°F to 95°F (-20°C to 35°C)

Getting Started

Battery Disposal and Recycling

Please be aware of the following guidelines when disposing of or recycling the battery:

• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the cell may

explode. Check the regulations in your area for special disposal instructions.

• Do not open or puncture the battery; the released

electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin. This substance also can be toxic if swallowed.

• Charge the battery in accordance with the

instructions specified in this manual.

• Lithium Ion batteries are recyclable. Return unwanted

Samsung batteries to your nearest Samsung Service Center. For the Samsung Service Center nearest you, call toll-free 1.888.987.HELP (4357) in the U.S.
