Charging the Battery
Correct
Incorrect
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.
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 preven t proper operation.
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the batt ery, can
cause the phone to become damaged.
Important!:
It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your
device for the first time.
1. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack and slide open the
cover (1).
2. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory
jack (2).
3. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.
The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates
both its charge state and percent of charge.

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 metal l ic
object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the
tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more
information, refer to “Warranty Information” on page 190.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Low battery” 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.
12
•
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 setti ng.
•
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.
•
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power.
Change your Live wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or
Gallery image.
Power Savings
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,
Location consent, or the LCD Brightness functionality all act to
drain your battery.

Task Manager
Your phone 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.
