Assembling

Unpack

Check your product box for the following items:
Mobile device
Battery
Quick start guide
Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or illegal software may cause damage or malfunctions that are not covered by your manufacturer's warranty.
The items supplied with your device and available accessories may vary depending on your region or service provider.
You can purchase additional accessories from your local Samsung dealer.
The supplied accessories perform best for your device.
Accessories other than the supplied ones may not be compatible with your device.

Install the SIM or USIM card and battery

When you subscribe to a cellular service, you will receive a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, with subscription details, such as your personal identification number (PIN) and optional services. To use UMTS or HSDPA services, you can purchase a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) card.

Charge the battery

Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery.
You can charge the device with a travel adapter or by connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries to explode or damage your device.
Page 14

When your battery is low, the device will emit a warning tone and display a low battery message. The battery icon becomes too low, the device will automatically power off. Recharge your battery to continue using your device.
If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot turn on the device, even with the travel adapter connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before you try to turn on the device.

Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
2
outlet.
You can use the device while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
While the device is charging, the touch screen may not function due to an unstable power supply. If this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the device.
While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect your device’s lifespan or performance.
If your device is not charging properly, bring your device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel
3
adapter from the device and then from the power outlet.
Do not remove the battery before removing the travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the device.
To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not in use. The travel adapter does not have a power switch, so you must unplug the travel adapter from the outlet when not in use to avoid wasting power. The travel adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.
Charge with a USB cable
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the USB cable into the
1
multifunction jack.
Page 16

PC.
Depending on the type of USB cable you are using, it may take some time before charging begins.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB
3
cable from the device and then from the PC.

Insert a memory card (optional)

To store additional multimedia files, you must insert a memory card. Your device accepts microSD microSDHC 32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).
Samsung uses approved industry standards for memory cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible with your device. Using an incompatible memory card may damage your device or the memory card and can corrupt data stored on the card.
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with a different file structure, your device will ask you to reformat the memory card.
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the lifespan of memory cards.
When you insert a memory card in your device, the file directory of the memory card will appear in the external_sd folder under the internal memory.

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology capable of exchanging information over a distance of about 10 m without requiring a physical connection.
You do not need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth. If the devices are within range of one another, you can exchange information between them even if they are located in different rooms.
Samsung is not responsible for the loss, interception, or misuse of data sent or received via the Bluetooth wireless feature.
Always ensure that you share and receive data with devices that are trusted and properly secured. If there are obstacles between the devices, the operating distance may be reduced.
Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible with your device.
