Plug the flat end of the charger into the device’s charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet. The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its charge state and percent of charge.
With the Virgin Mobile-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Battery and Charger

Warning!:
Use only Virgin Mobile-approved or Samsung­approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use a Virgin Mobile-approved or Samsung-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Virgin Mobile-approved or Samsung-approved batteries and accessories can be found at stores or through Samsung; or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also available at
www.virginmobileusa.com
Battery Capacity
Your device 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 5 hours of continuous digital talk time.
At 3% of charge capacity, there are only a few minutes of talk time left, the device sounds an audible alert, displays a critical charge icon ( ), 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 device’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
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. See “Changing the Backlight Time Length” on page 104
Turn Bluetooth off when not is use. See “Turning Bluetooth On and Off” on page 81
Turn Wi-Fi off when not is use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On and Off” on page 91
Getting Started 3
.
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. See “Activating Location Mode” on page 78
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. See “Synchronizing Accounts” on page 107
Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting. See “Adding and Removing Widgets” on page 23
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications. See “Manage Running Services” on page 116

Section 7: Entering Text

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes how to use the Swype keyboard to ease the text entry method.

Entering Text with Onscreen Keyboard

When you activate a field where you can enter text, numbers, symbols, etc., you can either use the onscreen keyboard or QWERTY keyboard.
Onscreen keyboard entry can be done in either Portrait or Landscape orientations. The Landscape orientation provides more space and results in slightly bigger onscreen keys. If you find that you prefer to enter text via the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this orientation.
Activating the Landscape Keyboard
Although the device will automatically rotate its screen orientation to Landscape once the QWERTY keyboard slides out, the Samsung Intercept™ can also be set to automatically change its orientation. To use the onscreen keyboard in Landscape mode, this feature must first be enabled.
See “Changing the Screen Orientation” on page 25.
Selecting a Text Input Mode
Your device provides convenient ways to enter letters, numbers, and symbols whenever you are prompted to enter text (for example, when adding a Contacts entry or when using email and text messaging).
In this section we’ll cover the steps necessary to enter text using the onscreen keyboard, where the touchscreen is the primary method of both text and character entry.
Note:
Some characters and types, such as some symbols and emoticons, are not accessible from the onscreen keyboard.
1. From a screen where you can enter text, tap
the input field to reveal the onscreen keyboard.
2. Select one of the following Text mode options:
•ABC
to use alphabetic characters from the onscreen
keyboard (See page 52.)
• ?123
to enter numbers by pressing the numbers on
the onscreen keyboard. (See page 53.)
Tip:
When entering text, tap to change letter capitalization.
• Voice Input allows the device to use its built-in
voice recognition software to hear your voice and transcript it directly into text.
To change the input method:
1. From an active text input screen, touch and
hold a text input field.
2. Select Input Method from the onscreen context
menu. See “Using Context Menus” on page 28.

Entering Text using the QWERTY Keyboard

Accessing the QWERTY Keyboard
The Samsung Intercept™ has a built-in, keyboard­style keypad, referred to as a full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is located beneath the display screen and is accessed by sliding it open. This orients the device's display to Landscape (widescreen) mode.
Using the QWERTY keyboard, you can type letters, numbers, punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields or other applications simpler and faster than using the onscreen keyboard.
To open the device and access the keyboard:
1. Rotate the device 90 degrees counter-
clockwise.
2. Slide the top section of the device up to open,
as shown in the illustration. When you slide the device open, the display rotates from a vertical viewing mode (Portrait) to a horizontal viewing mode (Landscape).

Email

Your device’s Email applications let you access and manage multiple email accounts simultaneously in one convenient location.
Although there is a separate Gmail application, the main email application can manage both Internet­based email services (Gmail™ and Yahoo™) and Corporate Work Email (Exchange).
The device can also be manually configured to connect to other email systems.
Note:
If you have multiple email accounts, you must configure each account with its own settings.
If you want to send and receive email messages through an ISP (Internet Service Provider) account (such as Exchange), or if you wish to use your device to access your corporate email through a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you will first need to set up an IMAP or POP account.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) - This mail retrieval protocol is frequently used in large networks and commercial and institutional settings. IMAP4 is the current standard.
POP (Post Office Protocol) - This protocol is supported by most ISPs and is currently more common among consumer applications. POP3 is the current standard.

Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your device is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard may appear unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the device some time to process your data usage request.
Your User Name
When you buy your device and sign up for service, you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is typically based on your Virgin Phone number, followed by “@yrmobl.com.” (For example: 2145554444@yrmobl.com.)

Connections 85
Your device is connected to the high­speed Virgin Mobile Broadband Network (EVDO). When the arrows are animated, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the triangles are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.
