Charging the Battery

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

Note: Fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately four hours. You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but this causes the phone to charge more slowly.

Note: For connection to an electrical supply not located in North America, you must use an adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.

1. Plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack on the right side of the phone.

2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is off, the display indicates that the phone is charging. If the phone is on, the bars in the battery icon flash to indicate charging.

Note: The battery charging circuit may stop functioning if you are viewing a streaming video and receive a call while charging as the capacity of the charging circuit will be exceeded.

Getting Started 20

Page 27

3. When the phone is fully charged, the message “Battery Full” appears on the display or the bars in the battery icon stop flashing. Unplug the adapter from the power outlet.

4. Disconnect the adapter from the phone by gently pulling the connector out of the jack.

Note: To avoid damaging the phone, you must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the phone.

Low Battery Indication

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds, the “Low Battery” message repeats at regular intervals on the display and the empty battery icon displays. The backlight turns off to conserve the remaining battery power. When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off. Recharge the battery to restore phone operation.

Switching the Phone On and Off

To switch the phone on:

1. Press and hold the key until the phone switches on.
