Assembling

Unpack

Check your product box for the following items:

•Mobile device

•USB power adapter

•PC data cable

•Headset

•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 may 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.

•The supplied accessories perform best for your device.

•Accessories other than the supplied ones may not be compatible with your device.

Charge the battery

Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery.

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

•Charge the battery only with the supplied charger. You cannot charge the battery with the PC data cable.

•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 and turn red. If the battery level becomes too low, the
	device will automatically power off. Recharge your battery to
	continue using your device.
1	Connect the PC data cable to the USB power adapter and then plug the
	end of the PC data cable into the multifunction jack.

8 Assembling

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

2 Plug the USB power adapter into a power 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 and the touch keys may not function due to an unstable power supply. If this happens, unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the PC data cable 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.

3 When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no longer moving), unplug the USB power adapter and PC data cable from the device and then from the power outlet.

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 to interrupt the power supply. The travel adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.

Insert a memory card (optional)

To store additional files, you must insert a memory card. Your device accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory cards with maximum capacities of 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.

Assembling 9

1	Open the cover to the memory card slot.
2	Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts facing down.

3	Push the memory card in the memory card slot until it locks in place.
4	Close the memory card cover.

3	Push the memory card gently until it disengages from the device.
4	Pull the memory card out of the memory card slot.

Do not remove a memory card while the device is transferring or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data or damage to the memory card or device.

››Format the memory card

Formatting your memory card on a PC may cause incompatibilities with your device. Format the memory card only on the device.

In Menu mode, select Settings → SD card and phone storage → Unmount SD card → Format SD card → Format SD card →Erase everything.

Before formatting the memory card, remember to make backup copies of all important data stored on your device. The

manufacturer’s warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user actions.
