Battery:  Putting in the power.

Your new Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery, which must be
charged when the battery icon flashes or if the phone turns itself off.

Installing your battery

To install your battery, just follow these simple steps:

1.  Hold the battery with the label facing down and with the metal
    contacts near the base of the phone.

2.  Place the battery into the back of the phone so that the top of the
    battery is about a quarter of an inch from the latch.

3.  Gently slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it clicks
    into place.

Removing your battery

1.  First, turn the power off.

2.  Press the battery release latch on the back of the phone while sliding
    the battery down toward the base of the phone.

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.  (For more
information on the 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.
