Getting Started

5. Slide the battery towards the top of the phone until it clicks into
place. Make sure that the battery is properly installed before
switching the power on.
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A travel
adapter comes with your phone for charging the battery. Use
only approved batteries 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.
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.
Getting Started
23
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter from the power
outlet and disconnect it from the phone by pressing the buttons
on both sides of the connector and pulling the connector out.
Note:
You must unplug the adapter before removing 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 the “Warning low battery”
message repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this
case, your phone turns off the backlight to conserve the
remaining battery power.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.
Using the Multimedia Card
You can save images, sounds, and MP3 files downloaded from
the wireless web on a memory card. You can also save your
photos on the memory card.
• When you insert a multimedia card via a card reader into the USB
port of your computer, the SAMSUNG folder automatically appears in
the appropriate directory. To enable the phone to read files, you need
to copy those files into the SAMSUNG folder.
• You can delete all of the files stored in the multimedia card only using
the FAT format.
Getting Started
24
• Your memory card may be ejected from the card slot if your phone is
jolted. Be careful not to lose the multimedia card.
• The memory card cover can be added to prevent accidentally
ejecting the memory card.

Do not remove your memory card during file transfer.
To install a multimedia card, slide the multimedia card into the
slot located on the right side of the phone.
To remove the multimedia card, press and release the card so

The multimedia card is not required for your phone to function.
