Getting started

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, any optional services available, and so on.
Important!
1. If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key until the power-off image displays.
2. Remove the battery. To do so:
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts
can be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card.
Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small children.
Press the catch above the battery and hold it in that position.
Slide the battery and lift it away, as shown.
17
Getting started
3. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket, as shown, so that the card locks into position.
Make sure the gold coloured contacts of the card face into the phone.
Note
: When you need to remove the SIM card,
slide it upwards, as shown, and take it out of the socket.
4. Place the battery, taking care to match the tabs on the battery with the grooves on the phone.
18
Getting started
5. Slide the battery towards the top of the phone until it clicks into place. Make sure that the battery is properly installed before switching the power on.

Charging the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A travel charger comes with your phone for charging the battery. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.
The travel charger allows you to use the phone while the battery is charging, but this causes the phone to charge more slowly.
Note
: You must fully charge the battery before using
your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 200 minutes.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug the connector of the travel charger into the jack at the bottom of the phone.
19
Getting started
2. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
The LED on the travel charger indicates the charging progress by the following colors:
• Red : the battery in being charged.
• Green : the battery in completely charged.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the charger from the power outlet and disconnect it from the phone by pressing the buttons on both sides of the connector and pulling out the connector.
Note
: You must unplug the charger before removing
the battery from the phone during charging; otherwise, the phone could be damaged.
Low battery indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Warning Low Battery” message repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this case, your phone turns off the backlight to conserve the remaining battery power.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.
20
Getting started

Using the memory card

You can save images, sounds, videos, and MP3 files downloaded from the computer on a memory card. You can also save photos on the memory card.
To install a memory card, slide the memory card into the slot located on the right side of the phone.
To remove the memory card, press and release the card so that it is disengaged from the slot. Then slide it out.
Notes
:
• When you insert a memory card via a card reader
into the USB port of your computer, the SAMSUNG folder automatically appears in the appropriate directory. To enable the phone to read files, you need to copy those files into the SAMSUNG folder.
• You can delete all of the files stored in the memory
card only using the FAT format.
• After inserting your memory card, close the card
slot cover. Your memory card may be ejected from the card slot if the card slot cover is not properly closed.
