Battery Installation
Your new PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery that is
partially charged so you can use it immediately after you activate
with your PCS carrier. The phone and the battery are not initially
attached. To use the phone battery the first time,install the battery
according to the instructions below. Use the phone until the
battery icon in the display window flashes or until the phone turns
itself off.
Installing the Standard Battery
1. Hold the battery,with the label facing down,making sure the
metal contacts at the base of the battery line up with the metal
contacts on the base of the phone.
2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the
battery about a quarter of an inch from the latch.
3. Gently slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it
snaps into place.

Battery Charge Indicator
The display icon (in the lower right corner of the phone’s
display window) tells you the status of the battery’s charge.As the
battery charge level goes down,sections of the battery icon
disappear.When the battery charge level is extremely low,the
battery icon will blink and a tone will sound.
When the battery is completely discharged,a tone will sound and
the phone will turn off automatically.Watch the indicator to be
sure the battery charge is at an acceptable level.
If your battery seems to be losing its charge rapidly,it may need to
be conditioned.This is done by using the Conditioner feature of
the Samsung Rapid Desktop Charger.(See “Using the Conditioner
Cycle”on page 10.)

Charging Your Battery
Rapid Desktop Charger with Conditioner
1. Insert the battery (with the phone attached) into the
front compartment.
2. Insert a second (or spare) battery into the back
compartment,if you wish to charge the two batteries
sequentially. The battery in the front compartment will
charge first.
The Front Compartment is used for charging a battery with the
phone attached.
The Back Compartment is used for charging an unattached
battery and/or conditioning the battery.
A Red Light on the charger means the battery is being charged. A
green light means the battery is at least 90% charged.
If the standard battery is completely discharged,it will fully
recharge in approximately two hours.(The extended battery takes
up to three hours to fully recharge.)
If you leave the power on your phone turned ON while it is in the
charger,it will take longer to recharge the battery.It will not harm
the battery to remain in the charger once it is fully charged.

Conditioner button on the side of the charger for one full
second to begin the conditioning cycle.

This indicates that the battery is discharging.

to a solid red,indicating that the discharge cycle is complete and
the battery is being charged.
5. The charger will rapidly charge the battery until it is 90%
charged.The LED will turn green.The charger will then begin to
trickle charge the battery until it is completely charged.
6. After the discharge-charge cycle is complete,the battery has
been conditioned.
Note:Use only the Samsung-approved Rapid Desktop Charger and
