Samsung SCH-a610 - Manual (Page 23)

Understand your phone 15
Charge the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion
battery. Only use Samsung-approved charging devices and
batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize
battery life.
Using other accessories may invalidate your
warranty and may cause damage.
Use the desktop charger
The desktop charger operates from a 120/220 VAC wall
outlet. It also acts as a cradle to hold your phone in a
convenient, easy-to-use position while charging.
1. Plug the AC plug from the desktop charger into a
standard 120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.
2. Slide your phone, bottom end first, into the desktop
charger. Your phone begins charging.
Tip: You can use your phone while charging; however, the
battery charges faster if your phone is turned off.
Battery indicator
The battery indicator ( ) in the upper-right corner of the
display indicates battery power level. Three bars indicate a
full charge, while an empty battery icon (
) indicates an
almost empty battery.
Low battery warning
Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to
operate, a blinking empty battery icon (
) appears and a
tone sounds. If you continue to operate the phone without
charging, the phone shuts down. Be sure to monitor the
battery strength icon and ensure your battery is adequately
charged.
