Section 1: Getting Started

This section explains how to start using your Samsung SCH-r350 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 guide 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 134.
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 106.

Notes and Tips

Throughout this guide there is text that is set apart from the rest. These are intended to point out important information, quick methods for activating features, to define terms, and more. The definitions for these methods are as follows:
Notes
: Explain alternative options within the current feature, menu, or
sub-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 could affect performance, or even damage your phone.

Text Conventions

This manual provides condensed information about how to use your phone. To make this possible, the following terms and icon appear in place of repeatedly-used procedural steps:
highlight
Use the Navigation key ( ) to move a highlighting effect onto a menu item or screen item of interest.
select
After “highlighting” a menu item or screen item, press the OK key to launch, access, or save a highlighted menu item or screen field of interest.
Used in place of “select” in long “drill down”
procedure steps.
Example:
“...
Settings
Call Settings
Call Answer
...”

Installing the Battery

Note:
Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery and travel adapter.
Getting Started 4
Important!:
You must fully charge the battery the first time you use your phone, otherwise you could damage the battery.
1. Insert the top end of the
battery first, matching the gold contacts on the inside of the battery to those on the phone.
2. Press lightly on the bottom
end of the battery down into the phone until it slips into place.
3. Press lightly down on the
middle of the battery cover (1) and upward at the top (2) until the cover locks into place.
5

Remove the Battery

1. Press and hold the key
to turn off the phone (if on).
2. Press downward at the top of
the battery cover (1) and lift the cover (2) up and away from the phone.
3. Lift the battery (1) up at the
bottom and away from the phone (2).

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery. Only use Samsung­approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Use of other accessories
may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Use the Travel Adapter

The travel adapter included with your phone is a convenient, light-weight charger that rapidly charges your phone from any 120/220 VAC outlet.
1. Plug the large end of the
DATA LINK CABLE
Incorrect
Correct
Travel Adapter into a standard 120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.
Important!:
For connection to an electrical supply not located in North America, you must use an adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.
2. Insert the USB Data Cable into the Travel Adapter (see
above) and into the charger/accessory connector on the upper right side of your phone, as shown here.
Important!:
You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the phone during charging to avoid damage.

Low battery indicator

The battery indicator ( ) in the upper-right corner of the display indicates power level. Monitor the battery strength and ensure your battery is adequately charged.
Five bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
An empty battery icon ( ) indicates a near empty battery.
A blinking empty battery icon ( ) and a tone sounding indicate you have two to three minutes before the battery is too low to operate the phone.
If you continue to use your phone without charging its battery, the phone will shut down.

Activating Your Phone

Contact your Wireless Provider and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your phone supports.
Warning!:
Your 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 (see “Warranty Information” on page 126).
Getting Started 6

Turning Your Phone On

Press & Hold
1. Press and hold the key until
the display lights.
Note:
As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the antenna while using your phone as this can affect call quality and can cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.
2. The phone begins searching for a
network signal.
3. Once the phone finds a signal, the
time, date, and day appear near the top of the display.
4. You’re now ready to place and receive calls.
Note:
If you are outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area, the No Service icon ( ) appears at the top of the phone’s display. If you cannot place or receive calls, try later when service is available, or at another location.

Turn Your Phone Off

Press and hold the key for two or more seconds. Your phone powers off.
7
Note:
If your phone is on and you press for less than one second, the phone will not power off. This prevents your phone from being turned off accidentally.

Setting Up Your Voicemail

Voicemail allows callers to leave voice messages, which can be retrieved any time.
Note:
Once your Voicemail account has been set up, you can use the Voicemail folder (under the messages in your Voicemail box.
Messages
menu) to view details of voice
1. In Standby mode, press and hold the key or dial your
own mobile number to dial Voicemail.
2. Follow the prompts in the new user tutorial to setup your
mail box.

Listen to Voicemail

1. In Standby mode, press and hold the key or dial your
own mobile number to dial Voicemail. After connecting, you will hear your voice greeting.
2. You are prompted to enter your password.

Memory Card (Optional)

Your phone has a Memory Card slot on its left side. You can install a microSD™ card to provide additional memory for storing files (such as, sound files and photos) in your phone.

Install a Memory Card

1. Remove the battery cover from the back of your phone.
(For more information, refer to Step 2 of “Remove the Battery” on page 5.)
2. Carefully insert the memory card — label side facing up
and smaller end pointing toward the phone — into the memory card slot, as shown, until you feel it click into place.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Note:
When you install a microSD or microSDHC Card in your R350 phone, it creates the file folders needed for storing multimedia files. Do not add other file folders or file types to the Memory Card. This slows the phone’s access to files on the Memory Card.

Remove a Memory Ca rd

1. Remove the battery cover from the back of your phone.
(For more information, refer to Step 2 of “Remove the Battery” on page 5.)
2. Carefully press the memory card inward until you feel it
release.
3. Slowly release your pressure on the card. It will slide
outward a short distance.
4. Remove the memory card from the memory card slot.
5. If desired, install another memory card. (For more
information, refer to “Install a Memory Card” .)
6. Replace the battery cover.
