Getting started

Using a battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.

Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 180 minutes for a standard battery.

1.With the battery in position on the phone, plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack at the bottom of the phone.

Make sure that the arrow on the connector is facing toward the front of the phone.

2.Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.

3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter from both the power outlet and the phone by pressing the buttons on both sides of the connector and pulling the connector out.

Note: Do not remove the battery from the phone without unplugging the adapter while it is charging. Otherwise, the phone may be damaged.

Switching on or off the phone

1.Open the phone.

2.Press and hold the key for more than one second to switch on the phone.

3.The service light flashes and then the idle screen appears on the display when the system locates services.

When somebody calls you, the phone alerts you by ringing and blinking the service light.

If the caller can be identified, the caller’s phone number or name, if stored in your Phonebook, displays.

There are many ways to answer a call, depending on your setting in the Answer Mode menu (Menu 6-4);
