Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or illegal software may cause damage or malfunctions that are not covered by your manufacturer's warranty.

●

The items supplied with your device and available accessories may vary depending on your region or service provider.

●

You can purchase additional accessories from your local Samsung dealer.

●

The supplied accessories perform best for your device.

●

Accessories other than the supplied ones may not be compatible with your device.

Install the SIM or USIM card and battery

When you subscribe to a cellular service, you will receive a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, with subscription details, such as your personal identification number (PIN) and optional services. To use UMTS or HSDPA services, you can purchase a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) card.

Assembling

Assembling

Insert the battery.

Replace the back cover.

Charge the battery

Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery.

You can charge the device with a travel adapter or by connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries to explode or damage your device.
