mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

䊳 See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 2.

Removing the Battery

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose

any stored numbers or messages.

2. Press the battery cover and slide it away from

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and
GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery power:

䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the

Backlight Time Length” on page 64.

䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not is use. See “Turning

Bluetooth On and Off” on page 129.

䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not is use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On

and Off” on page 162.

䢇 Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most

applications using this function will periodically query
the GPS satellites for your current location; each
query drains your battery. See “Activating Location
Mode” on page 188.

䢇 Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted

before charging your device. Repeating this process
of a complete discharge and recharge can over time
reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

䢇 Turn off Automatic application sync. See

“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 67.

䢇 Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware

functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting. See
“Adding and Removing Widgets” on page 34.

䢇 Check the Running Services and close any

unnecessary applications. See “Manage Running
Services” on page 79.

Customizing Your Home Screen

You can customize your Home screen by doing the
following:

䢇 Creating Shortcuts

䢇 Adding and Removing Widgets on the current screen

䢇 Repositioning Widgets

䢇 Creating Folders

䢇 Changing the Background (Wallpaper)

Creating Shortcuts

Shortcuts are different than the current Home screen
Widgets that only launch an application. Shortcuts
activate a feature, action, or launch an application.

32 2A. Device Basics

Note: To move a shortcut from one screen to another, it must

first be deleted from its current screen. Activate the new
screen, then add the shortcut.

To add a shortcut from the Applications tab:

1. Press to activate

the Home screen.

2. Select a location

(screen) for your new
shortcut by scrolling
across your available
screens until you reach
the desired one. See
“Home Screen
Overview” on page 26.

3. Tap the Applications

() tab to reveal
all your current
applications. By default,
the applications are listed in a Grid view.

4. Scroll down through the list and locate your

desired application.

5. Touch and hold the onscreen icon. This creates an

immediate shortcut of the selected icon and closes
the Applications tab. The new shortcut then
appears to hover over the currently active screen.

Note: The same shortcut can be added to any of the

available screens (Home or Extended). The application
you add to the screen will still appear within the

Applications tab.

6. While still holding the onscreen icon, position it on

the current screen. Once complete, release the
screen to lock the shortcut into its new position.

To add a shortcut via the Add to Home screen:

1. Press to activate the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold on an empty area of the screen.

3. From the Add to Home screen window tap

Shortcuts.

4. Tap a selection from the

available list:

䡲 Applications

䡲 Bookmark

䡲 Contact

䡲 Direct dial

䡲 Direct message

䡲 Directions & Navigation

䡲 Gmail label

䡲 Music playlist

䡲 Settings

5. Follow the onscreen instructions to add the new

To delete a shortcut:

Delete (Shortcut or Widget)

1. Press to activate

the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold the

desired shortcut. This
unlocks it from its
location on the current
screen.

3. Drag the icon over the

Delete tab ( ) and
release it.

Adding and Removing
Widgets

Widgets are self-contained
applications that reside in either your Applications tab
or on the Home or Extended screens. Unlike a shortcut,
this Widget appears as an onscreen application.

Note: To move a Widget from one screen to another, it must

first be deleted from its current screen. Activate the new
screen, then add the Widget.

34 2A. Device Basics

To add a Widget:

1. Press to activate the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold on an empty area of the screen.

3. From the Add to Home screen window tap Widgets.

4. Tap an available Widget to place it on your current

screen.

䡲 Choices include: Analog clock, Facebook, Music,

NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile, Picture frame, Power
Control, Search, Sprint Football Live, Voicemail,
Where, Where Check-In, Where Voice, and YouTu be.

To r emo ve a W idget:

1. Touch and hold a Widget until you can move it

around on the screen.

2. Touch and hold the desired widget. This unlocks it

from its location on the current screen.

3. Drag the widget over the Delete tab ( ) and

release it.

䡲 As you place the Widget into the Trash, both items

turn red.

䡲 This action does not delete the Widget, just

removes it from the current screen.

To place a Widget onto a different screen:

1. Follow the steps to remove the Widget from the

current screen (page 34).

Note: A Widget cannot be dragged from a current screen to

an adjacent screen. It must first be removed from its
current location, then added back to a new current
screen.

2. Touch and drag across your screen to view

another available screen (there are three available
screens [1 Home and 2 Extended screens]), see
page 27.

3. Follow the steps to add a Widget to the current

screen (page 34).

Creating and Managing Folders

Folders are located on any of the three available
screens and can contain both files (such as data and
images) and Contact information or entries.

To create a folder onscreen:

1. Press to activate the Home screen.

2. Touch and hold on an empty area of the screen.

3. From the Add to Home screen window tap Folders.

4. Tap an available folder type to place it on your

Accessing the QWERTY Keyboard

The Samsung Intercept™ has a built-in, keyboard-style
keypad, referred to as a full QWERTY keyboard. The
keyboard is located beneath the display screen and is
accessed by sliding it open. This orients the device's
display to Landscape (widescreen) mode.

Using the QWERTY keyboard, you can type letters,
numbers, punctuation, and other special characters
into text entry fields or other applications simpler and
faster than using the onscreen keyboard.

To open the device and access the keyboard:

1. Rotate the device 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

2. Slide the top section of the device up to open, as

shown in the illustration. When you slide the device
open, the display rotates from a vertical viewing
mode (Portrait) to a horizontal viewing mode
