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 retailer.

●

The supplied accessories perform best for your device.

●

Accessories other than the ones supplied 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.

Assembling

To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,

If the device is on, press and hold the Power key and select

Power off → OK to turn it off. Remove the back cover.

Be careful not to damage your fingernails when you remove the back cover.

Insert the SIM or USIM card with the gold-coloured

contacts facing downwards.

●

The antenna is located in the upper area on the back of the device. Do not remove the protective tape covering the antenna, as this can damage the antenna.

●

The SIM card slot of your device is only suited for standard SIM cards. Inserting a micro SIM card or a micro SIM card with an unauthorised holder may cause damage to the SIM card slot of your device.

Assembling

Insert the battery.

Replace the back cover.

Charge the battery

Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers. Unapproved chargers can cause batteries to explode or damage your device.

Assembling

●

You can charge the battery faster with the supplied travel adapter.

●

When your battery is low, the device will emit a warning tone and display a low battery message. The battery icon

will also be empty. If the battery level 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 small end of the travel adapter into the

multifunction jack.

Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Assembling

Plug the large end of the travel adapter into an electrical

socket.

●

You can use the device while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.

●

If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen may not function. 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, take your device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel

adapter from the device and then from the electrical socket.

Do not remove the battery before removing the travel adapter. Doing so 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 electrical socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The travel adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.

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).

●

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 your memory cards.

●

When you insert a memory card into your device, the memory card’s file directory will appear in the external_sd folder under the internal memory.

Remove the back cover and battery.

Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts

facing downwards.

Push the memory card into the memory card slot until it

locks in place. Replace the battery and back cover.
