before switching on the power.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. A travel adapter comes with your phone for

and adapters. Ask your local Samsung dealer for
further details.
The travel adapter allows you to use the phone
while the battery is charging, but this causes the
phone to charge more slowly.
Note
: You must fully charge the battery before using
your phone for the first time. A discharged
battery recharges fully in approximately
200 minutes.

the connector of the travel adapter into the jack
at the bottom of the phone.

the battery from the phone during charging;
otherwise, the phone could be damaged.
Low battery indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of
talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and a
message repeats at regular intervals on the display.
When this happens, your phone turns off the
backlight to conserve the remaining battery power.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
