Section 1: Getting Started

This section allows you to start using your phone by activating your service, setting up your voicemail, inserting your battery, and navigating from the
Tod ay
screen.

Understanding this User Manual

The chapters of this guide generally follow the same order as the menus and sub menus in your phone. A robust index for quick reference to most features begins on page 202.
Also included in this manual is important safety information that you should know before using your phone.

Activating Your Phone

If you purchased your phone at a Verizon Wireless store, it is probably activated and ready to use. If you have upgraded your phone or received a new phone by mail, it probably needs to be activated before you can use it.
To activate your phone, follow these steps:
1. Visit a Verizon Wireless store to activate your phone, or
visit
www.verizonwireless.com
password in the
available on the home page.

1. Press and hold
(for 5 seconds)
the Power On/Off
key
located at the top
of the phone.
2. The phone

network and then logs in. At this point, the phone displays
the
Tod ay
screen (page 6) and only functions as a PDA
(allowing you to run applications) until you activate the
phone features.
Powering Off the Phone
1. Press and hold the Power On/Off key located at
the top of the phone.

Rebooting your Phone after Lockup

The
Reset
button allows you to quickly turn off the phone in the event of a program or application error. In this case your Omnia would appear to “freeze” and become unresponsive.
1. Locate the
Reset
button located at
the top of the phone, adjacent to the power key.
2. Carefully insert the stylus into the reset button hole. After
depressing the reset button, the phone will reboot.
Note:
This reset action retains all of your phone’s default parameters and settings. This action is similar to that of a reboot action on your computer which only restarts the machine while maintaining all data intact.

Battery

Your Omnia comes with a standard rechargeable battery, power adapter, and headset accessory.
Note:
This phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery and travel charger.
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.
Using A Non-Supported Battery
Samsung handsets do not support the use of a non-supported battery.
When using a non-supported battery, you will hear a series of beeps and you will see a warning message that indicates “
SUPPORTED BATTERY. SEE USER MANUAL.
” If you receive this
warning, battery charging has been disabled.
