Section 1: Getting Started

This section explains how to start using your phone by first configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then setting up your voice mail.

Setting Up Your Phone

Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM into their corresponding internal compartments. The microSD™ card slot is also located in this same internal area.

1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into

the slot on the top of your phone (1).

2. Lift the cover up (2) and to the right of the phone.

Caution!

Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.

Installing the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, available optional services, and many others features.

Getting Started 6

Important!

Incorrect

Correct

The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.



Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as shown) until the card locks into place.

•

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the phone and that the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.

Note:

If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone will not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.

Installing the Battery

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the

phone, making sure the connectors align (1).

2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

Removing and Installing the Memory Card

You can use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC card to expand available memory space if you desire. This secure digital card enables you to exchange images, music, and data between SD-compatible devices. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.

Note:

Your phone has been tested to support up to a 64GB memory card.

Correct

Installing the Memory Card



Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown).

•

Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the card is securely inserted.

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on page 47.

Removing the Memory Card

1. Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.

2. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.

Getting Started 8

Installing the Back Cover

1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)

and press down (2).

2. Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you

have a secure seal.

Note:

Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.

Charging a Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Charger that is used to charge the battery, is included with your device. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.

Note:

Correct

Incorrect

You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, web browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging, doing so will require additional charging time.

Using the Travel Charger

Important!

Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is connected, the handset may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.

1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power/

Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.

2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from

the interface connector jack on the phone.

Getting Started 10

Warning!

If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 228.

Note:

Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.

Switching the Phone On or Off

1. Press and hold until the phone switches

on.

2. Swipe your finger across the screen to unlock the

phone.

Note:

The display language is preset to English at the factory. To change the language, use the Language menu. For more information, refer to “Changing Your Settings” on page 121.
