Charging the Battery
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 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.
