Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with your phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.

Before using your phone for the first time, you must fully charge the battery. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.

Getting Started 11

Note:

Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger. If both the wall charger is connected and the battery is not installed, the handset will power cycle continuously and prevent proper operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause the phone to become damaged.

plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s connector from the phone.

Important!:

If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 268.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Battery low” message repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming the backlight.

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

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

•

Reduce your backlight on time.

•

Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

•

Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

•

Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

•

Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

•

Turn off Automatic application sync.

•

Use the Power Savings Widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.

•

Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources.

•

Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.

•

Use the Task manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.

•

Turn off any streaming services after use (see Running Services).

•

Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.

Task Manager

Your device can run applications simultaneously, with some applications running in the background.

Sometimes your device might seem to slow down over time, and the biggest reason for this are background applications. These are applications that were not properly closed or shutdown and are still active but minimized. The Task manager not only lets you see which of these applications are still active in the background but also easily lets you choose which applications are left running and which are closed.

Note:

The larger the number of applications running on your phone, the larger the energy drain on your battery.

Section 5: Entering Text

Default Text Input Method

This section describes how to select the desired text input method

when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.

Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can

tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.

Your phone also provides several on-screen keypad text entry

options to make the task of text entry that much easier.

Text Input Methods

There are two text input methods available:

•

Samsung keypad

: an on-screen QWERTY keypad that can be

used in both portrait and landscape orientation.

•

Swype

(default): a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word.

The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both portrait and landscape mode.

You can store phone numbers and their corresponding names onto either your SIM card, your phone’s built-in memory, or an external location (such as Google, Exchange, or T-Mobile Backup). They are all physically separate but are used as a single entity, called Contacts.

Depending on the storage size of the particular SIM card, the maximum number of phone numbers the card can store may differ.

Joining Contact Information

Most people now maintain multiple email accounts, social networking logins, and other similar account information. For example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a corporate email account login because they are maintained separately and for different groups of people.

This device can synchronize with multiple accounts (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Google, or T-Mobile). When you synchronize your phone with those accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.

If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well as a Video! chat account, when you merge those accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the information in one record.

Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You can select any account email address or information all from one screen, versus searching multiple, individual screens to locate the desired account information.

Next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts, any updates contacts make to email account names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.

1. From the Home screen, tap .

2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to another

entry) to reveal the

Note:

Typically this is the same contact with a different name or account information.

3. Press and then tap

4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to link).

Contact entry’s Overview Screen

Join contact

The second contact is now linked with the first and the account information is merged into one screen.

Note:

The information is still maintained in both entries, but displays in one record for easier viewing when you link the contacts.

Important!:

It is the second contact image that is displayed for both, but the first contact’s name that is used. For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with Julie (second entry). Julie appears to disappear and only Amy remains. Tap the Amy entry (showing the Julie image) to view both.
