scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small
children.
Some features on your device (such as Wi-Fi Calling) can be
unlocked by using a new ISIM (IP Multimedia Services Identity
Module) card. To use this new ISIM card, call or contact T-Mobile
customer service for more information.
This card contains the necessary information for identifying and
authenticating the user to the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem).
If available, you can remove the previous SIM and replace it with
the new ISIM card.

Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall
charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with
your phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your
local Samsung dealer for further details.
Before using your phone for the first time, you must fully charge
the battery. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately
4 hours.
Getting Started 11
Note:
Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger.
If both the wall charger is connected and the battery is not installed,
the handset will power cycle continuously and prevent proper
operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause the phone to become damaged.
Important!:
It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your
device for the first time.
1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
2. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack (1).
3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory
jack (2).
4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.
The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates
both its charge state and percent of charge.
Warning!:
While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function
due to an unstable power supply unplug the USB power adapter
from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.

5. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s power
plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s
connector from the phone.
Important!:
If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a
touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your
finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a
metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage
the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more
information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 266.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Battery low” message
repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this condition, your
phone conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming the
backlight.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.
Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS
functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of
helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
•
Reduce your backlight on time.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
•
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this
function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current
location; each query drains your battery.
•
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging
your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and
recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.
•
Turn off Automatic application sync.
•
Use the Power Savings Widget to deactivate hardware functions such
as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
•
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions
have been consuming your battery resources.
•
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
•
Use the Task manager feature to end/shutdown background
applications that are still running. These minimized applications can,
over time, cause your device to “slow down”.
•
Turn off any streaming services after use (see Running Services).

Task Manager
Your device can run applications simultaneously, with some
applications running in the background.
Sometimes your device might seem to slow down over time, and
the biggest reason for this are background applications. These
are applications that were not properly closed or shutdown and
are still active but minimized. The Task manager not only lets you
see which of these applications are still active in the background
but also easily lets you choose which applications are left
running and which are closed.
Note:
The larger the number of applications running on your phone, the
larger the energy drain on your battery.
