Install the SIM or USIM card
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.
To install the SIM or USIM card,
Open the cover of the SIM card slot.
1
Insert the SIM or USIM card with the gold-coloured
2
contacts facing downwards.
Close the cover of the SIM card slot.
3
Charge the battery
Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device
for the first time or when the battery has been unused for an
extended period, you must charge the battery.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers. Unauthorised
chargers can cause batteries to explode or damage your
device.
Assembling
11
●
Charge the battery only with a charger. You cannot
charge the battery with the USB 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. 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 USB power adapter
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a
few minutes before you try to turn on the device.
Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter, and
1
then plug the end of the USB cable into the multifunction
jack.
The shape of the USB power adapter may differ
depending on your region.
Connecting the USB cable improperly may cause
serious damage to the device or USB power adapter.
Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the
warranty.
Plug the USB power adapter into a power outlet.
2
●
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 USB power adapter from
the power outlet or unplug the USB 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.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB
3
power adapter and USB cable from the device, and then
from the power outlet.
To save energy, unplug the USB power adapter when
not in use. The USB power adapter does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the USB power
adapter from the electrical socket when not in use to
avoid wasting power. The device should remain close to
the electrical socket while charging.
