Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger, which is used to charge the battery, is
included with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved
batteries and chargers.
Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges
fully in approximately 4 hours.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, web browser use, and other variables may
reduce the battery's talk and standby times.
Although you can use the phone while the battery is
charging, doing so requires additional charging time.

Using the Travel Charger
Important! Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to
connection. If the battery is not properly installed
and the wall charger is connected, the handset
may power off and on continuously, preventing
proper operation.
To use the Travel Charger:
1. Lift up on the multipurpose jack cover that covers the
port on the bottom of your phone and swing it open (1).
Caution! Be careful not to damage or detach the
multipurpose jack cover. A damaged or missing
cover can result in water damage to the device.
2. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power/
Accessory Interface port (2) and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.
