Section 1
Section 1: Getting Started 9

Activating Your Phone

Contact your Wireless Carrier and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your phone supports.

Install the Battery

Note: Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable
standard Li-Ion battery and travel adapter.
Important: You must fully charge the battery the first time you use your phone, otherwise you could damage the battery. You can use your phone while the battery is charging.
Section 1
1. Insert the bottom

2. Press the top end of the battery down into the phone until you hear it snap into place.
10
Remove the Battery

END
2. Slide the battery release latch (1) toward the top end of the phone and hold.
3. Lift the battery (2) up and away from the phone, top end first.

Turn Your Phone On

1. Open the folder on your phone,as
shown.
2. Press the key.
Note: As with any other radio-transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna while using your phone as this can affect call quality and can cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.
3. The phone begins searching for a network signal.
4. Once the phone finds a signal, the time, date, and day appear in the bottom of the display.

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li­Ion battery. Only use Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are

designed to maximize battery life. Use of other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Use the Travel Adapter

The travel adapter included with your phone is a convenient, light­weight charger that rapidly charges your phone from any 120/220 VAC outlet.
1. Plug the large end of the Travel Adapter into a standard 120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.
Note: For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.
12
Charging the Battery
2. Insert the smaller end of the
Travel Adapter into the charger/accessory connector at the bottom end of your phone.
Note: You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the phone during charging to avoid damage.

• Four bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
