The battery comes partially charged. You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time.

After the first charge, you can use the phone while charging.

Warning!

Use only Samsung-approved charging devices and

batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to

maximize battery life. Using other accessories may

invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Note:

Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.

Battery Indicator

The battery icon in the Annunciator Line shows battery power level. Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate your phone, the empty battery icon will flash and a tone will sound. If you continue to operate the phone without charging the battery, the phone will power off.

Installing the Battery

Entering Text Using Swype

Swype™ is a text input method that allows you to enter a word by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your finger between words. Swype uses error correcting algorithms and a language model to predict the next word. Swype also includes a predictive text system.

The following example shows how to enter the word “This”. Put your finger down on the “T”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.

Swype Text Entry Tips

You can access the SwypeTips application and watch a video or tutorial on using Swype. You can also use the following Swype text entry tips.

•

Create a squiggle (like an S shape) to create a double letter (such as pp in apple).

•

Touch and hold a key to view the punctuation menu then make a selection.

•

Move your finger or stylus over the apostrophe to enter contractions.

•

Double-tap on the word you want to change to correct a misspelled word, then tap the delete key to erase one character. Touch and hold the delete key to erase an entire word.

Enabling and Configuring Swype

The Samsung keyboard is the default text input method, so to use Swype, you must first change the default keyboard setting.
