Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion
battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable)
is included with the phone, for charging the battery.
Note: The battery comes partially charged. You must fully
charge the battery before using your phone for the first
time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of
charge time.
After the first charge, you can use the phone while
charging.
Warning! Use only Samsung-approved charging devices and
batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to
maximize battery life. Using other accessories may
invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.
Note: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Battery Indicator
The battery icon in the Annunciator Line shows battery
power level. Two to three minutes before the battery
becomes too low to operate your phone, the empty battery
icon will flash and a tone will sound. If you continue to
operate the phone without charging the battery, the phone
will power off.
Installing the Battery
1. Remove the battery cover. (See “Removing the battery
cover” on page 6.)
2. Slide the battery into the compartment (1) so that the
tabs on the end align with the slots at the bottom of the

Removing the Battery
1. Remove the battery cover. (See “Removing the battery
cover” on page 6.)
2. Lift the battery up by the slot provided (1).
3. Lift the battery up and out of the phone (2).

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 prevent proper operation. Failure to
unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery,
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. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/
Accessory jack at the bottom of the device.
Note: This illustration displays both the correct and incorrect
orientation for connecting the USB cable. If the USB
cable is incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory
port will occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
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.
Warning!: While the device is charging, if the touch screen

4. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s
power plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect
the USB cable connector from the device.
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 metallic object
when pressing on the touch screen may damage
the tempered glass surface and void the warranty.
For more information, refer to “Standard Limited
Warranty” on page 220.
Turning Your Phone On

upper right side of the phone) for three seconds.
While powering on, the phone connects with the

active Notification alerts.
Note: Your phone’s internal antenna is located along the
bottom back of the phone. Do not block the antenna;
doing so may affect call quality or cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than necessary.
