Battery and Charger
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved os Samsung-
Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved batteries and
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through
Samsung; or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re
also available at
approved batteries and chargers with your
phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or
Samsung-approved battery and charger may
increase the risk that your phone will overheat,
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
www.sprint.com.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is
fully drained. The battery provides up to 6.0 hours of
continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery
icon blinks ( ). When there are approximately two
minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible
alert and then turns off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
䊳 See “Setting Up Your Phone” on page 2.
Removing the Battery

any stored numbers or messages.
