Section 1: Important Safety Precautions
Important Safety Precautions
Please read these guidelines before using your wireless
phone. Failure to comply with them may be dangerous or
illegal.
Road Safety at All Times
Do not use your phone while driving, park the vehicle first.
Obey all regulations that restrict the use of mobile phones
while driving. Use handsfree accessories to increase your
safety when possible.
Switch Off When Refueling
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations)
or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your phone when
directed to do so by warning signs or instructions. Your
phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or
chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do
not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts,
or accessories.
Switch Off in an Aircraft
Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them in an
aircraft is both illegal and dangerous.
Switch Off in Hospitals
Switch your phone off near medical equipment. Follow any
regulations or rules in force in any area.
I5800D Apollo.book Page 5 Monday, May 16, 2011 2:34 PM
Important Safety Precautions 6
Keep your phone away from small children
and pets
Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach of
small children or animals. Small parts can cause choking or
serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can cause
hearing damage. Always turn the volume down before
plugging the earphones into an audio source and only use
the minimum volume setting necessary to hear your
conversation or music.
Install mobile phones and equipment with
caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment
installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid
placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag
deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment
can cause serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile
phones and pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as
recommended by manufacturers and the independent
research group, Wireless Technology Research.
If you have any reason to suspect that your phone is
interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn
off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of
the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
Interference
All wireless phones might be subject to interference, which
could affect their performance.
I5800D Apollo.book Page 6 Monday, May 16, 2011 2:34 PM
7
Special Regulations
Follow any special regulations in force in any area and
always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use
it, or when it might cause interference or danger (for
example, in a hospital).
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
While using your phone, hold it with a relaxed grip, press
the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the number
of keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive
text), and take frequent breaks.
Do not use the phone if the screen is cracked
or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hand and
face. Bring the phone to a Samsung Service Centre to
replace the screen. Damage caused by careless handling
will void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Sensible Use
Use the phone in the intended position (held to the ear). If
your phone has an external antenna, avoid unnecessary
contact with the antenna when the phone is on.
Emergency Call
Ensure that the phone is switched on and in-service. Enter
the emergency number for your present location and select
to make the call. Give all the necessary information
as accurately as possible. Do not end the call until given
permission to do so.
Liquid Resistance
Your phone is not liquid resistant. Keep it dry.
Accessories and Batteries
Use only Samsung-approved accessories and batteries.
Use of any unauthorized accessories could damage your
phone and might be dangerous.
I5800D Apollo.book Page 7 Monday, May 16, 2011 2:34 PM
Important Safety Precautions 8
Important!:
Although the phone can be used while the battery is
charging, the battery must be fully charged before first use,
otherwise you could damage the battery.
Important!:
Using a non-supported battery might damage your phone.
Handle and dispose of batteries and
chargers with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers
specifically designed for your phone. Incompatible batteries
and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your
phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all
local regulations when disposing of used batteries or
phones.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices,
such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries
may explode when overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the
battery to high external pressure, which can lead to an
internal short circuit and overheating.
Qualified Service
Only qualified service personnel may repair your phone.
For more detailed safety information, see “Safety” on
page 111.

Setting Up Your Phone
Install the SIM card and battery
Before using your phone you need to correctly install the
battery and the SIM card. The microSD™ card slot is
located in the same internal area.
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided
with a plug-in Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card loaded
with your subscription details, such as your personal
identification number (PIN), available optional services, and
many other features.
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card contacts and its information can
easily be damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful
when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all
SIM cards out of reach of small children.
To install the SIM card and battery:
1. If the phone is on, press and hold [ ] and select
Power off
to turn it off.
2. Remove the back cover.
Tip:

Installing the Memory Card
Your phone supports the use of a memory card (microSD™)
for data storage of such things as data, music, pictures, and
video files. This type of memory card is designed for use
with this mobile phone and other devices. To store
additional multimedia files, you must insert a memory card.
Your phone accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory
cards with maximum capacities of 32 GB (depending on the
memory card’s manufacturer and type).
Note:
Samsung uses approved industry 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 life span 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 install the memory card:
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Insert the microSD card into the slot with the label
side facing down.

the card is securely inserted.
4. Replace the back cover.

for safe removal.
To remove the memory card:
1. In Idle mode, select
Applications → Settings → SD
card and phone storage → Unmount SD card → OK

2. Remove the back cover.
3. Push the memory card gently until it disengages from
the phone.
4. Pull the memory card out of the memory card slot.
5. Remove the memory card.
6. Replace the back cover.
Tip:
Do not remove a memory card while the phone is transferring or
accessing information, as this could result in the loss of data or
damage to the memory card or phone.
Format the memor y card
Formatting your memory card on a PC might cause
incompatibilities with your phone. Only format the memory
card on your phone.

Before formatting the memory card, remember to make backup
copies of all of the important data stored on your phone. The
manufacturer’s warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from
user actions.
Charging the Battery
Before using your phone for the first time, you must charge
the battery. Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. The Travel Adapter used to charge the battery is
included with your phone. You can also charge the phone by
connecting it to a PC with a PC data cable.
Note:
Use only Samsung-approved batteries, cables, and chargers.
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 your
battery to continue using your phone.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
browser use, and other variables can reduce the battery’s talk
and standby times.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for
the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in
approximately 4 hours.

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

performance.

travel adapter
to a Samsung Service Centre.
