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.
4
Switch Off in Hospitals
Switch your phone off near medical equipment. Follow any
regulations or rules in force in any area.
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.
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.
Important Safety Precautions 5
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 74.

Section 2: Assembling
Unpack
Check that your product box contains the following items:
•
Mobile phone
•
Battery
•
Travel adapter (charger)
•
User manual
Note:
Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or illegal software might

•
The items supplied with your phone might vary depending on the
software and accessories available in your region or offered by your
service provider.
•
You can obtain additional accessories from your local Samsung dealer.
Warnin g!:
If your phone 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 might damage the tempered
glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to
“Standard Limited Warranty” on page 81.
Setting Up Your Phone
Install the SIM card and batter y
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.

card. Re-orient the card in the slot.
8
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.
3. Push the memory card into the memory card slot until it
locks into place.
Note:
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face upward and that the
card is securely inserted.
4. Replace the back cover.
Removing the memor y card
Before removing a memory card, you must first unmount it for safe
removal.
To remove the memory card:
1. In Idle mode, select
phone storage → Unmount SD card
2. Remove the back cover.
3. Push the memory card gently until it disengages from the
Applications → Settings → SD card and
.
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.
Assembling 9
Format the memory card
Formatting your memory card on a PC might cause
incompatibilities with your phone. Only format the memory card on
your phone.
To format the memory card:
Note:
You need to unmount the memory card before it is formatted. In Idle
mode, select
Unmount SD card
•
In Idle mode, select
storage → Format SD card → Format SD card

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.
10
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.
Using the Travel Adapter
To charge the battery using the travel adapter:
1. With the battery installed, open the cover of the
multifunction jack at the top of the phone.
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
2.
multifunction jack.
Important!:
Verify that the phone’s battery is correctly installed before
connecting the charger. If the battery is not properly installed and
the charger is connected, the phone might power off and on
continuously, preventing proper operation.
Note:
Improperly connecting the travel adapter can cause serious damage to
