SIM Card

Your phone uses a 4G LTE SIM (Subscriber Identity Module). The 4G LTE SIM is a small, rectangular plastic card that stores your phone number, information about your wireless service, and other information such as messages.

The SIM card is installed under the back cover, and must remain in the device when in use.

Note: If you purchased your phone at a Verizon Wireless store,

the SIM card is activated and ready to use. If you ordered a new phone, the card may need to be activated before you can use it. For more information about activating the SIM card, visit:

verizonwireless.com/4GSIM.

Caution! Turn the phone off before installing or removing the

SIM card. Do not bend or scratch the SIM card. Take care when handling, installing, or removing the SIM card, and avoid exposing the SIM card to static electricity, water, or dirt. Keep the SIM card out of reach of small children.

Installing the 4G LTE SIM Card

1. Remove the back cover.

2. With the Verizon Wireless logo facing up, carefully

insert the 4G LTE SIM Card into the slot, pressing gently until it clicks into place.

3. 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.

4. Install the back cover.

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.

Charging the Battery

Using the Charger

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) is included with the phone, for charging the battery.

The battery comes partially charged. You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time. After the first charge, you can use the phone while charging.

Warning! Use only Samsung-approved charging devices and

batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, web browser use, and other variables may

Important! Verify that the phone battery is installed prior to

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

the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.

3. When charging is complete, unplug the charging head from the power outlet and remove the USB cable from the phone.

Note: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove

the battery, can cause damage to the phone.

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone 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 phone’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

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

You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a percentage value onscreen can provide a better idea of the remaining charge on the battery.

• Auto-spacing: When you finish a word, just lift your finger

and start the next word.

• Double letters: Just “scribble” on the key.

• Auto-capitalization: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the

first word of sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that is not at the beginning of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the next letter.

• Contractions: Swype recognizes most words that include

an apostrophe, just swype the letters of the word, including the apostrophe.

• Punctuation: Touch and hold a key to view a punctuation

menu and make a selection.

• Accented characters: Just glide through the letters of the

word. Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.

• Error correction: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the

word you want to change.
