Activating your Phone
If you purchased your phone from your carrier’s store, it is
activated and ready to use. If you received a new phone by mail,
it may need to be activated before you can use it.
To activate your phone, choose from the following:
•
Visit you carrier’s store.
•
Contact customer support.
•
Manage your account online.
Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion
battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) are
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.
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, the empty battery icon will flash and a tone
will sound. If you continue to operate the phone without charging,
the phone will power off.
Tip:
Task Manager provides helpful information about extending battery life.
