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.

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.

Assembling

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 down. Your device has two SIM card slots to allow you to use two

SIM or USIM cards, and switch between them. Use the left slot for your primary, or most frequently used, SIM or USIM card. Use the right slot for a secondary SIM or USIM card.

SIM card 1

SIM card 2

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.

When you insert two USIM cards into your device, the card in the secondary slot will be used for a GPRS network.

Assembling

Insert the battery.

Replace the back cover.

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.
