Battery

Your 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 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.

Removing the Battery

Make sure to turn the power off before removing the battery.
Then press the battery release button while sliding the battery
out of position.

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 not properly inserted in the charger.
Please check the charger and battery.)

• Green light to indicate that the battery is fully charged.

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 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 phone, the Battery Charge Indicator activates. A green
LED indicates a fully charged battery.

Note: Use only the SAMSUNG-approved Dual-Slot Desktop
Charger with your phone by Samsung. Using the inappropriate
charger could damage the battery.

Battery Charge Indicator

The Battery Charge Indicator is displayed in the upper right cor­ner of the screen and indicates three 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 are displayed) appears on the screen.

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 your phone.

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 provides no longer 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.

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.

Call Quality

For optimum call quality with your phone, please follow these
guidelines:

• Fully extend the antenna. While it may be possible to
make calls with the antenna retracted, the phone operates
best with the antenna fully extended.

• Hold the phone as you would hold any other telephone
handset. Speak directly into the microphone, and extend
the antenna over your shoulder while talking.

• Do not hold the antenna while using the phone, as this
may affect call quality.
