Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Adapter that is used to charge the battery, is included with
your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser
use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby
times.
Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging,

time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Adapter

cover (lower right side of phone) and plug in the wall
charger’s connector into the jack.
Important!:
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connection. If

preventing proper operation.
Note:
The wall charger’s connector attaches to the phone at a slight angle.

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a
warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone
conserves its remaining battery power by reducing the
backlight’s brightness and entering a dimming mode. For a quick
check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator
located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Five
bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
