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 chargers. 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

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

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 out the connector.

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

Getting started

Switching on or off the phone
