downward and that the notched corner of the card faces
outward to the left.
Note:
If the SIM card is not inserted correctly, the phone cannot make a
network connection.
Once the SIM card is inserted, do not remove it.
If your SIM card is ever separated from the device or damaged,
your device will not function. If you experience any issues with
your device, contact Customer Service at 888-944-9400 or visit
your nearest U.S. Cellular® retail location.

Warning!:
Use only Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries.
Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Using
other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause
damage.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can
cause damage to the phone.
