2.Remove the back cover.

Be careful not to damage your fingernails when you remove the back cover.

3. Insert the SIM card.

4. Insert the battery.

5. Replace the back cover.

Charge the Battery

Before using the phone for the first time, you must charge the battery. You can charge the phone with the provided travel adapter or by connecting the phone to a PC with a PC data cable.

Only use Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unauthorized chargers or cables can cause batteries to explode or damage your phone.

When your battery is low, the phone will emit a warning tone and display a low battery message. The battery icon will also be empty and turn red. If the battery level becomes too low, the phone will automatically power off. Recharge the battery to continue using the phone.

To charge the battery using the travel adapter:

1.Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the multifunction jack.

Improperly connecting the travel adapter can cause serious damage to the phone. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

2.Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power outlet.

•You can use the phone while it is charging, but it might take longer to fully charge the battery.

•While the phone is charging, the touch screen might not function due to an unstable power supply. If this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the phone.

•While charging, the phone might heat up. This is normal and should not affect the phone’s lifespan or performance.

•If your phone is not charging properly, bring the phone and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

3.When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the phone and then from the power outlet.

phone your introducing

Do not remove the battery before removing the travel adapter. Doing so might cause damage to the phone.

To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not in use. The travel adapter does not have a power switch, so you must unplug it from the outlet to interrupt the power supply. The travel adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.

To charge the battery using the PC data cable: Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.

1.Plug the micro USB end of the PC data cable into the multifunction jack.

2.Plug the other end of the PC data cable into a USB port on a PC.

Depending on the type of PC data cable you are using, it might take some time before charging begins.

3.When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the phone and then from the PC.

Insert a Memory Card (optional)

To store additional multimedia files, you must insert a memory card. Your phone accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory cards up to 32 GB (depending on the memory card manufacturer and type).

Samsung uses approved memory standards for memory cards but some brands might not be fully compatible with your phone. Using an incompatible memory card might damage your phone or the memory card and can corrupt data stored on the card.

•Your phone only supports the FAT file structure for memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with a different file structure, your phone will prompt you to reformat the memory card.

•Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the lifespan of memory cards.

•When you insert a memory card into your phone, the file directory of the memory card will appear in the /sdcard folder.

To insert a memory card:

1.Open the cover of the memory card slot on the side of the phone.

2.Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts facing down.

3.Push the memory card into the memory card slot until it locks into place.

4.Close the cover of the memory card slot.

phone your introducing
