Getting Started

Using the Battery

Your Samsung phone comes packaged with a partially charged, rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery.
Installing the Battery
1. Place the battery back on the phone so that its tabs match the grooves on the phone.
2. Slide the battery towards the top of the phone until it snaps into place.
Make sure that the battery is correctly installed before switching on the phone.
19

GGeettttiinngg SSttaarrtteedd
Removing the battery
1. If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key until the power-off image displays.
2. Press the catch above the battery and slide the battery away.

Charging a Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A travel adapter and a battery charger come with your phone for charging the battery. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.
Note
: You must fully charge the battery before using
your phone for the first time. A discharged battery is fully recharged in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Adapter
The travel adapter allows you to use the phone while the battery is charging, but this causes the phone to charge more slowly.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack at the bottom of the phone.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet. The phone begins charging immediately, and the
service light turns on and blinks while the battery is being charged.
3. When charging is finished and the service light stops blinking, disconnect the adapter from the power outlet and from the phone.

GGeettttiinngg SSttaarrtteedd

Using the Battery Charger
You can charge the battery by using the battery charger.
1. Insert the battery into the charger, ensuring that the terminals on the battery are in contact with those on the charger. Press the battery until it clicks into place.
2. Plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack at the bottom of the charger.
3. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet. The LED on the charger indicates the charging
progress with the following colors:
• Red: the battery is being charged.
• Green: the battery is completely charged.
• Yellow: the battery is not correctly plugged in or
is operating at a too high or too low temperature.
4. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter from
both the power outlet and the charger.
5. Remove the battery from the charger.

Low Battery Indicator
You can easily tell if your battery needs to be recharged by checking the Battery Status icon ( ) at the upper-right corner of your phone’s display. The presence of all three bars indicates a full charge, two bars indicates a smaller charge, and one bar indicates an even smaller charge.
When the battery charge level becomes low, the battery sensor blinks an empty Battery Status icon ( ) and sounds a warning tone. If the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off. When this happens, you lose whatever you are doing and your phone call cuts off. Watch the Battery Status icon and make sure that your battery is adequately charged.

Switching the Phone On or Off

1. Press and hold the key until the power-on image displays to switch the phone on.
The service light on the phone flashes and an alert sounds. When the system locates services, the greeting message displays along with the date and time. You can now place and receive calls.
If the phone is out of service, the No Service icon ( ) appears on the display. In this case, you cannot make and receive calls. You can try again later when service is available.
2. When you wish to switch the phone off, hold the key down more than two seconds.
WARNING!
Do not switch the phone on when mobile phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
Note: As with any other radio-transmitting device,
do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects the call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Your Phone’s Modes

Standby Mode

Entering Text
At many times when using your phone, you will need to enter text, such as when storing a name in Phonebook, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters into your phone using your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
T9(English): This mode allows you to enter words with only one key press per letter. Each key on a keypad has more than one letter; for example, when you press the 5 key once J, K or L displays. T9 mode automatically compares your key presses to an internal linguistic database to determine the correct word. T9 mode requires far fewer keystrokes than the traditional multi-tap method, Alphabet mode.
Alphabet: This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want to enter once, twice, or three times until it appears on the display.
Symbol: This mode allows you to enter special characters.
Number: This mode allows you to enter numbers.
