the battery.
You can charge the phone with the provided travel adapter
or by connecting the phone to a PC with a PC data cable.

Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries
to explode or damage your phone.

Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
3
outlet.
You can use the phone while it is charging, but it•
may take longer to fully charge the battery.
While charging, the phone may heat up. This
•
is normal and should not aect your phone’s
lifespan or performance.
If your phone is not charging properly, bring your
•
phone and the charger to a Samsung Service
Centre.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
4
no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the
phone and then from the power outlet.

travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the
phone.

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
4
no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the
phone and then from the PC.
Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional multimedia les, you must insert
a memory card. Your phone accepts microSD™or
microSDHC™memory cards with maximum capacities of
8 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).
Samsung uses approved industry standards for
memory cards, but some brands may not be fully
compatible with your phone. Using an incompatible
memory card may damage your phone or the
memory card and can corrupt data stored on the
card.
When you charge the battery for the rst time, charging
your battery completely may take about 2.5 hours. Because
the battery is a consumable part, the battery will gradually
wear out and the charging time will be reduced. The initial
charging capacity of your battery is about 1000 mAh.

Charge with the PC data cable
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the side
1
of the phone.
Plug the small end of the PC data cable into the
2
multifunction jack.
Plug the large end of the PC data cable into a USB port

Depending on the type of PC data cable you are
using, it may take some time before charging
begins.
