Before using the phone for the rst time, you must charge

the battery.

You can charge the phone with the provided travel adapter

or by connecting the phone to a PC with a PC data cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.

Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries

to explode or damage your phone.

When your battery is low, the phone will emit a

warning tone and display a low battery message.

The battery icon

will also be empty and blinking.

If the battery level becomes too low, the phone will

automatically power o. Recharge your battery to

continue using your phone.

Insert the battery.

Assembling

11

Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power

3

outlet.

You can use the phone while it is charging, but it •

may take longer to fully charge the battery.

While charging, the phone may heat up. This

•

is normal and should not aect your phone’s

lifespan or performance.

If your phone is not charging properly, bring your

•

phone and the charger to a Samsung Service

Centre.

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is

4

no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the

phone and then from the power outlet.

Do not remove the battery before removing the

travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the

phone.

›

Charge with the travel adapter

Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the side

1

of the phone.

Assembling

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is

4

no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the

phone and then from the PC.

Insert a memory card (optional)

To store additional multimedia les, you must insert

a memory card. Your phone accepts microSD

™

or

microSDHC

™

memory cards with maximum capacities

of 16 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and

type).

Samsung uses approved industry standards for

memory cards, but some brands may not be fully

compatible with your phone. Using an incompatible

memory card may damage your phone or the

memory card and can corrupt data stored on the

card.

When you charge the battery for the rst time, charging

your battery completely may take about 3 hours. Because

the battery is a consumable part, the battery will gradually

wear out and the charging time will be reduced. The initial

charging capacity of your battery is about 960 mAh.

›

Charge with the PC data cable

Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.

Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the side

1

of the phone.

Plug one end (micro USB) of the PC data cable into the

2

multifunction jack.

Plug the other end of the PC data cable into a USB port

on a PC.

Depending on the type of PC data cable you are

using, it may take some time before charging

begins.
