Charging your battery.
The battery charge indicator in the lower-right corner of your
phone’s display lets you know when the battery needs to be
recharged. When the battery charge level is low, the icon will
blink and the phone will sound a tone.
If you continue to use your phone without recharging and the
battery level becomes too low, it will turn off automatically.
An alert tone will sound just before the phone turns itself off.
Unfortunately, if this happens, you’ll lose whatever you were
just doing. So, watch the indicator and make sure the level is
sufficient.
To charge the battery, use the Sprint PCS Rapid Desktop Charger,
travel charger or rapid cigarette lighter adapter from Samsung.
(The rapid desktop charger is described in the next section.
For more information on the travel charger and rapid cigarette
lighter adapter, see the product user guide for each.)
Using the rapid desktop charger.
Use only the approved rapid desktop charger with this Sprint PCS
Phone. Using the wrong one could damage your phone.
1. Plug into a wall outlet.
2. Insert either the battery alone or the phone with the
battery installed into the charger slot.
A red light on the charger will let you know the battery is being
charged. A green light tells you when the battery is at least 90
percent charged.
If your battery’s charge is completely run down, it will take
about two hours to fully recharge it (the extended battery takes
about three hours to fully recharge). Use the phone until the
battery icon flashes or the phone turns itself off. The rapid
desktop charger has a built-in battery conditioner to discharge
the battery (rear slot only).
We recommend that the battery be conditioned once a month to
extend its life. Insert the battery in the rear charger slot and then
press and hold the side button for one second. A flashing yellow
light will indicate the battery is being discharged.
Once the battery has been completely discharged, it will
automatically be charged (indicated by a red light). If the phone
is left on while it’s in the charger, the battery will take longer to
charge.
