Section 1: Getting Started
This section describes the first steps to operating your phone.
SIM Card Information
When you subscribe to cellular network services, you receive a
plug-in Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, and available optional
services.
Activating Your Phone
Activating your phone requires several things: inserting the SIM
card, charging the battery, and turning the phone on.
䊳
If necessary, power-off the phone by pressing and
holding until the power-off image is displayed.
4
Removing the Battery
1. Press the back cover down from the top back of the phone
(1) while pressing in on the cover release near the bottom
(2). Lift up and remove the back cover from the phone.
2. Lift the battery up (1) and away from the phone (2).
Installing and Removing the SIM Card
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by
scratches or bending. Use caution when inserting or removing
the SIM, and keep all SIM cards out of reach of children.
1. Remove the back cover and battery.
2. With the gold contacts facing down, slide the notched end
of the SIM card completely into the socket.
3. To remove the SIM, slide it gently out of the socket.
Note:
The angled corner of the SIM should be inserted as shown in the

+
Incorrect
Correct
With the battery in position in the phone, align the back
cover on the phone (1) and slide gently upward (2) until the
cover clicks into place.
Note:
The battery must be properly installed before charging the battery or
switching on the phone.
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the
wall charger to charge the battery, and use only Samsung
approved batteries and chargers.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first
time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time.
Note:
For connection to an electrical supply outside of the U.S., you must use
an adaptor properly configured for the power outlet. Using the wrong
adaptor can damage your phone and void your warranty.
1. Open the side slot and plug the connector of the wall
charger jack into the port on the side of the phone.
Note:
This illustration shows both the correct method and the incorrect
method for connecting the charger.
If you connect the charger incorrectly, you risk damaging the
accessory port and voiding the phone warranty.
2. Plug the adaptor into a standard AC wall outlet.
6
When the phone is completely charged ( ), unplug the
3.
charger from the power outlet.
4. Remove the adapter from the phone by gently pulling the
connector out and replace the plastic cover over the open
jack.
Important!:
The battery charging function may stop if you are on a call while
charging your battery.
Note:
During charging, you must unplug the adapter before removing the
battery from the phone to avoid damage.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery power is low and only a few minutes of talk
time remain, a warning tone sounds, the “Battery Low” message
repeats at regular intervals on the display, and the empty battery
icon ( ) blinks. The backlight turns off to conserve the
remaining battery power.
Note:
If your phone is in Silent Mode, the Low Battery Indicator defaults to
Vibration (see “Sound Profile” on page 48.). If you change the alert
from Vibration to Mute, you will only see a flashing message
indicating a low battery.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off. Recharge your battery.
Turning the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold the key or the key until the phone
power-on screen displays.
Note:
Do not turn on the phone when mobile phone use is prohibited.

key or the key. (For further details, see “Change
Phone Password” on page 54.)
The Idle screen displays while the phone searches for your
network. The signal strength bars show adequate signal
after a network is found.
Note:
The display language is preset to Automatic at the factory. To change
the language, use the Language menu. (For more information, refer to
“Phone” on page 52..)
3. When you wish to switch off the phone, press and hold
the key until the power-off image is displayed.
