Getting to know your phone
Antenna
The antenna is a device for transmitting and receiving signals. The shape and size of the antenna is determined, in part, by the frequency of the signals that they receive.

Installing the battery
Note: Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable
standard Li-Ion battery and travel adapter. The phone can be used while the battery is charging, but must be fully charged the first time you use your phone otherwise the battery could be damaged.
To attach the battery to your phone:
1. Place the battery on to the back of the phone, making sure that the three plastic tabs line up with the corresponding slots on the phone.
2. Gently push the top end of the battery down and upward on the phone until it snaps into place.
Removing the battery
To remove the battery from your phone:
1. Make sure the power is off by pressing and holding so you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.
2. Push down the battery release latch and slide the battery downwards.
3. Lift the battery away from the phone.
19
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery. Only use Samsung-approved travel adaptors and batteries. These adaptors are designed to maximize battery life. Using other adaptors may invalidate your
warranty and may cause damage.
When the phone has finished charging it can be disconnected.
Travel adapter
Use the adaptor outlet to connect your phone to a wireless data device or a hands-free car kit (both sold separately). The dual-slot adaptor outlet is located at the bottom of the phone.
Using the travel adaptor
The travel adaptor allows you to charge your phone’s battery from any standard 120 VAC wall outlet. Also, using the travel adaptor allows you to make a phone call while the battery is charging.
Follow these steps to use you travel adapter:
1. With the battery in position in the phone, attach the cord from the travel adaptor by plugging it into the adaptor outlet at the bottom of the phone.
2. Connect the adaptor to a standard 120 VAC wall outlet. The battery will begin charging immediately, and the LED (located at the top of your phone) will light and remain red.
3. The LED indicates the status of the battery being charged.
Red indicates that the battery is charging.
Green indicates that the battery is fully charged.
20
4. You can make a phone call when the phone is plugged into the travel adaptor. The adaptor will continue to charge the battery even when you are making the call.
Note: The battery charges faster when the phone is turned off.
Low battery indicator
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the battery indicator (this icon is located in the upper-right corner of the display screen). The presence of all three bars indicate a full charge. No bars (the battery icon is empty) means your battery must be charged.
The empty battery icon
Two to three minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon ( ), and sounding a tone. If you continue to operate the phone without charging the battery, the phone will automatically turn off. If this happens, your wireless call will be terminated. Be sure to monitor the battery strength icon and make certain your battery is adequately charged.

4. The phone begins searching for a network signal. When a signal is found, the date, day, and time appears.
