Section 1: Getting Started
Getting up and running is a quick and easy set of
steps. This section walks you through the steps
necessary to install your battery pack, turn on your
phone, setup service, and make your first call.
Installing the Battery
1. Press down on the rear cover (label side) with
your thumbs, as indicated below, and while
applying some pressure, slide the cover away.
2. Insert the battery (label side up as shown) into
the battery compartment so that the metal
contacts on the phone match up with those on
the battery.
Warning!:
Use only Virgin Mobile-approved or Samsungapproved batteries and chargers with your phone.
Failure to use these approved devices may increase
the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or
explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
3. Position the battery cover over the battery and
firmly slide it in until you hear a click.

Removing the Battery
1. Press down on the rear cover (label side) with
your thumbs, and while applying some
pressure, slide the cover away.
2. Insert your finger into the indention (shown
here) and in a single motion, pull the battery
out from the compartment.
3. Position the battery cover over the battery and
firmly slide it in until you hear a click.
Battery Capacity
Your phone comes with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.
The battery can be recharged using the included
power supply. This allows you to recharge your
battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides
up to 3.5 hours of continuous digital talk time.
Warning!:
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers
with your phone. Failure to use these approved
devices may increase the risk that your phone will
overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Note:
Some phone features such as long backlight settings,
vibrate mode, brightness settings, Bluetooth activity, and
other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby
times. It is recommended that you watch your phone’s
battery level indicator and charge the battery before it
runs out of power.
Charging the Battery
Prior to your initial use of the phone, it is
recommended that you fully charge your battery. If
your battery level becomes too low, your phone
automatically turns off, and you can lose any
progress information. For a quick check of your
phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge
indicator located in the upper right corner of your
display screen.

power jack.
2. Plug the flat end of the charger into the phone’s
power/accessory interface connector and the

Battery Charging Tips

The battery is not charged at the time of purchase, it must
be fully charged prior to the phone’s first use.
•
When charging the battery with the phone off, the
charging status displays. You can not operate the phone
until it is powered back on.
•
Charging the phone while off greatly reduces the charge
time.
•
If the battery ever fails to perform normally, contact Virgin
Mobile Customer Care to replace it.
Warning!:
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage
to your phone and void the warranty.
