Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your SCH-R640 phone by activating your service, setting up your Voicemail, or getting an understanding of how this manual is put together.
Understanding this User Manual
The chapters of this manual 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 243.
Also included is important safety information that you should know before using your phone. Most of this information is near the back of the guide, beginning on page 190.
Notes and Tips
Throughout this manual some text is set apart from the rest. In this way, important information, quick methods for activating features, to define terms, and more are emphasized. The definitions for these methods are as follows:
Notes

menu.
Tips
: Provide quick or innovative methods for performing functions related
to the subject at hand.
Important
: Points out important information about the current feature that

VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.
Important!:
For connection to an electrical supply not located in North America, you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.
2. If needed, install the battery in the phone. (For more
information, refer to “Install the Battery” on page 10.)

Important!:
You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the
phone during charging to avoid damage.
