Assembling

Unpack

Check your product box for the following items:

Mobile phone• Battery• Travel adapter (charger)• User manual•

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 phone may vary • depending on the software and accessories available in your region or oered by your service provider.

You can obtain additional accessories from your • local Samsung dealer.

The supplied accessories perform best for your • phone.

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

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 identication 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 phone is on, press and hold [1 ] to turn it o.

Remove the back cover.

Insert the SIM or USIM card.

Assembling

Place the SIM or USIM card into the phone with • the gold-coloured contacts facing down.

If you do not insert a SIM or USIM card, you can • only use your phone’s non-network services and some menus.

Insert the battery.

Replace the back cover.

Charge the battery

Before using the phone for the rst time, you must charge the battery.

You can charge the phone with the provided travel adapter or by connecting the phone to a PC with a PC data cable.

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

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 blinking. If the battery level becomes too low, the phone will automatically power o. Recharge your battery to continue using your phone.

Charge with the travel adapter

›

Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the side

of the phone.

Plug the small side of the travel adapter into the

multifunction jack.

Assembling

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

Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power

outlet.

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

While charging, the phone may heat up. This • is normal and should not aect your phone’s lifespan or performance.

If your phone is not charging properly, bring your • phone and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

Assembling

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is

no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the phone and then from the power outlet.

Do not remove the battery before removing the • travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the phone.

To ensure peak performance of your battery, • fully charge and discharge (use until empty) the battery the rst two or three times.

When you charge the battery for the rst time, charging your battery completely may take about 3 hours. Because

the battery is a consumable part, the battery will gradually wear out and the charging time will be reduced. The initial charging capacity of your battery is about 880 mAh.

Charge with the PC data cable

›

Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.

Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the side

of the phone.

Plug one end (micro-USB) of the PC data cable into the

multifunction jack.

Plug the other end of the PC data cable into a USB port

on a PC.

Depending on the type of PC data cable you are using, it may take some time before charging begins.

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is

no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the phone and then from the PC.

Insert a memory card (optional)

To store additional multimedia les, you must insert a memory card. Your phone accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory cards with maximum capacities of 16 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 phone. Using an incompatible memory card may damage your phone or the memory card and can corrupt data stored on the card.

Your phone supports only the FAT le structure for • memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with a dierent le structure, your phone will ask you to reformat the memory card.

Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten • the lifespan of memory cards.

Assembling

Remove the back cover and battery.

Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts

facing up.

Push the memory card in the memory card slot until it

locks in place.

Replace the battery and back cover.

Remove the memory card

›

Ensure that the phone is not currently using the

memory card.

Remove the back cover and battery.

Assembling

Push the memory card gently until it disengages from

the phone.

Pull the memory card out of the memory card slot.

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

Format the memory card

›

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

In Menu mode, select Settings → Memory → Memory

card → Format memory card → <Ye s >.

Before formatting the memory card, remember to make backup copies of all important data stored on your phone. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user actions.

Getting started

Turn your phone on and o

To turn on your phone,

Press and hold [1 ].

Enter your PIN and press <2 Conrm> (if necessary).

When the setup wizard opens, customise your phone

as desired by following the screen.

To turn your phone o, repeat step 1 above.

Follow all posted warnings and directions from • ocial personnel when in areas where the use of wireless devices is restricted, such as aeroplanes and hospitals.

To use your phone's non-network services only, • switch to the oine prole. ► p.21
