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.

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.

Charging the Battery
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
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 Charger
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.
Your phone comes with a charger (charging head and USB
cable) to charge your phone from any 110/220 VAC outlet.
1. Insert the USB cable into the port.
