end first.

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery. Only use Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Use of other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.
Use the Travel Adapter
The travel adapter included with your phone is a convenient, light-weight charger that rapidly charges your phone from any 120/220 VAC outlet.
1. Plug the large end of the Travel Adapter into a standard
120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.
Important!:
For connection to an electrical supply not located in North America, you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.

Three bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
An empty battery icon ( ) indicates a near empty battery.
7
A blinking empty battery icon ( ) and a tone sounding indicate you have two to three minutes before the battery is too low to operate the phone.
If you continue to use your phone without charging its battery, the phone will shut down.

Activating Your Phone

Contact your Wireless Carrier and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your phone supports.
Turning Your Phone On
Press and hold until the display lights.
Note:
As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the antenna while using your phone as this can affect call quality and can cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.
The phone begins searching for a network signal.
Once the phone finds a signal, the time, date, and day appear in
the bottom of the display.
You’re now ready to place and receive calls.
Note:
If you are outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area, the No Service icon ( ) appears at the top of the phone’s display. If you cannot place or receive calls, try later when service is available, or at another location.
Turning Your Phone Off
Press and hold for two or more seconds. Your phone
powers off.
Note:
If your phone is on and you press for less than one second, the
phone will not power off. This prevents your phone from being turned off accidentally.
Setting Up Your Voicemail
Voicemail allows callers to leave voice messages, which can be retrieved any time.
Note:
Once your Voicemail account has been set up, you can use the
Voicemail folder (under the Message menu) to view details of voice messages in your Voicemail box.
1. In standby mode, press and hold the key or dial your
own mobile number to dial Voicemail.
2. Follow the prompts in the new user tutorial to setup your
mail box.
Listen to Voicemail
In standby mode, press and hold the key or dial your
