Getting Started 5

Charging a Battery

Correct

Incorrect

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the
travel adaptor to charge the battery, and use only Samsung
approved batteries and chargers.

Note:

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.

Note:

For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must
use an adaptor with the proper configuration for the power outlet.
Using the wrong adaptor could damage your phone and void your
warranty.

1. Remove the protective cover from the port on the side of

the phone.

2. Plug the connector of the travel adaptor into the

charger port.

6

3. Plug the adaptor into a standard AC wall outlet.

4. When charging is finished, unplug the adaptor from the

power outlet.

5. Remove the adaptor from the charger port.

Note:

When the travel adaptor is plugged in, the battery recharges, although
the charging indicator may not appear for a few minutes.

You must unplug the adaptor before removing the battery from the
phone during charging to avoid damage.

Warning!:

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. For more
information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 96.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Battery Low” message
repeats at regular intervals on the display. The backlight turns off
to conserve the remaining battery power.

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.

Powering On or Off the Phone

1. Open the phone. Press and hold the key or the

key until the phone power-on screen displays.

2. If the phone asks you to enter a password, enter a

the language, use the Language menu. For more information, see
“Language” on page 48.
