Battery and Charger
Warning!: Use only Virgin Mobile-approved or Samsungapproved batteries and chargers with your device.
The failure to use a Virgin Mobile-approved or
Samsung-approved battery and charger may
increase the risk that your device will overheat,
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
Extending Your Battery Life
• Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and
GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery power:
• Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” on page 104
• Turn Bluetooth off when not is use. See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 81
• Turn Wi-Fi off when not is use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On and
Off” on page 91
Getting Started

• Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS
satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery. See “Activating Location Mode” on page 78
• Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted
before charging your device. Repeating this process of a
complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce
the storage capacity of any battery.
• Turn off Automatic application sync. See “Synchronizing
Accounts” on page 107
• Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware
functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,
or LCD brightness setting. See “Adding and Removing
Widgets” on page 23
• Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary
applications. See “Manage Running Services” on
page 116

Section 3: microSD Card
Your device is equipped with a preinstalled 2GB
microSD™ (Secure Digital) memory card. It allows
you to store images, videos, music, and voice data in
your device.
Important!: Camera, Camcorder, and Music playback features
are dependent on having a microSD memory card
installed. Although the Samsung Intercept™
comes with a pre-installed 2GB card, it can support
microSD cards of up to 32GB.
microSD Icon Indicators
The following icons show your microSD card
connection status at a glance:
The card has been unmounted (released
from use) from the device.
The card is being prepared for use and for
mounting.
The card has been removed.
microSD Write Protection
The microSD adapter has a built-in Write Protection
lock to prevent accidental overwriting or removal of
your data when the microSD card and adapter are
inserted in another device.
䊳
Slide the Write Protection lock tab down into the
“Lock” position to prevent overwriting of data. To
allow data to be added or removed from the
microSD card, slide the Write Protection lock tab
up into the normal position.
Connecting Your Device to Your
Computer
Before using your device’s mass storage capabilities,
you need to prepare your device’s data services to
synchronize with your desktop or laptop computer.
Once you have connected the device to the computer,
you can transfer your data to or from the microSD
card.
Before You Begin
Warning!: DO NOT remove a microSD card while the device is
accessing or transferring files. Doing so will result in
loss or damage of data. Make sure your battery is
fully charged before using the microSD card. Your
data may become damaged or lost if the battery
runs out while you are using the microSD card.
Here is what you will need to have before you can
successfully establish a connection between your
Samsung Intercept™ and PC.
• microSD card (internally installed prior to start)
• compatible USB cable (included)

please check the contents before you format the
card.
Important Connection Information
• To avoid loss of data, DO NOT remove the USB cable, the
microSD card, or the battery while accessing or
transferring files.
• DO NOT use your computer to change or edit folder or file
names on the microSD card, and do not attempt to
transfer large amounts of data from the computer to the
microSD card. Doing so may cause the microSD card to
fail.
• DO NOT turn off or restart your computer, or put it into
standby mode, while using a mass storage device. Doing
so will result in loss or damage of data.
• The internal microSD card can only be mounted for use
by either the device or a connected computer. Prior to
accessing the card via a different method, it must first be
unmounted from its current device (phone or computerUSB).
Important!: The internal microSD card can only share a
connection with one device at a time, either your
device or your computer (via its USB connection),
not both. You can not browse the contents of the
card via your device if they are currently being
browsed via your PC.
