Charging the Battery
Correct
Incorrect
Charging Head
USB Cable
Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall
charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with your
device. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local
Samsung dealer for further details.
Before using your device for the first time, you must fully charge the
battery. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4
hours.
Getting Started 16
Note:
Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the wall
charger. If both the wall charger is connected and the battery is
not installed, the handset will power cycle continuously and
prevent proper operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger
before you remove the battery, can cause the device to become
damaged.
Important!
Warning!
It is recommended you fully charge the battery before
using your device for the first time.
1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
2. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack.
3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory jack.
4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet. The
device turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its
charge state and percent of charge.
While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not
function due to an unstable power supply unplug the USB
power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the USB
cable from the device.
17
Correct
Incorrect
Note:
This illustration displays both the
correct
and incorrect
orientation for connecting the charger. If the charger is
incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will occur
therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
5. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s power
plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s
connector from the phone.
Getting Started 18
Important!
If your handset has a touch screen display, please note
that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the
pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive
force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch
screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void
the warranty.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time
remain (~15% charge), a warning tone sounds and the
“Battery low” message repeats at regular intervals on the display. In
this condition, your device conserves its remaining battery power, by
dimming the backlight.
When the battery level becomes too low, the device automatically
turns off.
The on-screen battery charge is represented (by default) as a
colored battery icon. You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Having a percentage value on-screen can provide a better
idea of the remaining charge on the battery.
Press ➔ and then tap

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:
•
Reduce your backlight on time.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Turn off Automatic application sync.
•
Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface
functions.
•
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have
been consuming your battery resources.
•
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
•
Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications
that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause
your device to “slow down”.
•
Turn off any streaming services after use (see Running Services).
•
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power.
Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or
Gallery image.
