Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Adapter, which is used to charge the battery, is included
with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers. Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, 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.
Note:You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the firsttime. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Adapter
1.With the battery installed, slide the plastic cover
(top left side of phone) to expose the Power/Accessory
Interface connector.
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.
2.Plug the flat end of the Travel Adapter into the phone’s
interface connector jack and the other end into a standard
AC wall outlet.
Note:When you connect the Travel Adapter, your phone powers on
automatically. Your Windows phone stays powered on whenever it is
charging.
3.When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the
interface connector jack on the phone.

Windows Phone 7 and microSD Cards
Users are strongly encouraged to review this section carefully
before inserting the right type of microSD card into Focus, a
Windows Phone 7 device.
Windows Phone 7 does not support freely swapping microSD Cards
in and out.
Many commercially available retail microSD cards are not
approved for use in Windows Phone 7. Use of unapproved cards
may cause performance degradation or device instability
including unexpected reset and loss of user data. A microSD card
class is not an indication of meeting Windows Phone 7
requirements. Approved cards can be obtained from the
manufacturer or Mobile Operator. (SanDisk 8GB class 2 microSD
card has been certified.) 
						

							11
Once inserted and properly formatted, the memory card becomes
an inseparable part of the phone.
A microSD card inserted into a Windows Phone 7 device and
integrated into the devices file system is intended to be a
permanent modification to the device. Once a microSD card has
been integrated into a Windows Phone 7 devices file system, it
will no longer be readable or writable on any other devices such
as computers, cameras, printers, and so on. This includes an
inability to format the microSD card for use in these devices.

on Windows Phone 7 devices may result in one or more of the
following:
System error while powering on the device that prevents the Windows
Phone 7 operating system from loading. Note that emergency dialing
will function properly.
Inaccurate reporting of available storage.
Loss of access to or removal of installed applications.

To insert or remove a microSD card, you have to reset your phone
by using a procedure called ahard reset.
Warning!:A hard reset resets your phone to its factory default settings and
wipes all data (pictures, video, contacts, music, and so on) from
your phone. Make sure your data is saved to your PC. For more
information, refer to“Using Zune To Stay In Sync”on page 46.
Inserting a microSD Card into a Windows Phone 7
