Charge the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion
battery. Only use Samsung-approved travel adaptors and
batteries. These adaptors are designed to maximize battery
life. Using other adaptors may invalidate your warranty and
cause damage to the battery and phone.
Use the desktop charger
The desktop charger charges your phone from a 120/220
VAC wall outlet. It also acts as a cradle to hold your phone in
a convenient, easy-to-use position while charging.
1.
Insert the AC plug from the desktop charger into a
standard 120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.
2.
Slide your phone, bottom end first, into the
desktop charger.
Tip:
You can use your phone while charging.
Tip:
The battery charges faster if the phone is turned off.
The battery begins charging immediately and the LEDs on
both sides of the outer display turn red. The LEDs indicate
the charging status of the battery.
•
Red
indicates that the battery is charging.
•
Green
indicates that the battery is fully charged.
With the exception of the initial charge after you purchase
your phone, you can place calls while the desktop charger is
charging your phone.
