Using the Battery

Your Samsung Phone comes with a partially charged,
rechargeable Lithium Ion (LiIon) Battery so that you can use
your phone immediately after it is activated.

Installing the Battery

To attach the battery to your Samsung 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.See the illustration.

2.Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone until
it snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

This is really easy.First,turn the phone off.Then just Slide
the battery latch (see illustration) and lift the battery up from
the base.You’re done.

Charging the Battery

You can easily tell if your battery needs to be recharged by
checking the indicator in the upper-right corner of
your phone’s display.aThe presence of all three bars indi­cates a full charge,two bars indicates a smaller charge,and
one bar indicates an even smaller charge.No bars (the bat­tery icon is empty) means your battery must be charged.

Charging with the Traveler Adapter

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-lon battery.A
travel adapter is provided with your phone.Use only
approved batteries and chargers.Ask your local SAMSUNG
dealer for further details.

The phone can be used while the battery is charging.
Note:You must fully charge the battery before using your

phone for the first time.

1.Connect the lead from the travel adapter to the bottom of
the phone.Check that arrow on the lead connector is fac­ing towards the front of the phone.

2.Connect the adapter to a standard AC wall outlet.
When the battery is charging,the battery icon in the top
right-hand corner of the display fills repeatedly.

3.When charging is finished,disconnect the adapter from
the power outlet.
Disconnect the adapter from the phone by pressing the
grey tabs on either side of the connector and pulling the
connector out.

When the battery charge level gets low,the battery sensor
blinks an empty battery icon ( ),sounds a tone,and dis­plays a message.If the battery level gets too low,the phone
will turn off automatically.Unfortunately,if this happens
you’ll lose whatever you are doing,including dropping your
call.Watch the battery strength icon and make sure your bat­tery is adequately charged.
