Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargable Li-ion
battery. A travel adapter comes with your phone.
Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask
your local Samsung dealer.
You can use the phone while the battery is being
charged, but this will cause the battery to charge
more slowly.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug
the connector of the travel adapter into the
adapter jack at the bottom of the phone.

The Battery
Strength icon on the display
repeats filling and emptying itself to indicate
that the battery is charging.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter
from both the power outlet and the phone by
pressing the buttons on both sides of the
connector and pulling the connector out.
Note
: Do not remove the battery from the phone
without unplugging the adapter while it is
charging. Otherwise, the phone may be
damaged.

of talk time remain, the battery sensor will let you
know by blinking the empty Battery Strength icon
(

BATTERY WARNING” message will be repeated at
regular intervals on the display.
When the battery becomes too weak for the phone
to operate, it switches off automatically.
