Important Safety Precautions
Please read these guidelines before using your wireless phone. Failure to comply with
them may be dangerous or illegal.
Road Safety at All Times
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; park the vehicle first.
Switching Off When Refueling
Do not use the phone at a refueling point (service station) or near fuels or chemicals.
Switching Off in an Aircraft
Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them in an aircraft is both illegal and
dangerous.
Switching Off in Hospitals
Switch your phone off near medical equipment. Follow any regulations or rules in force.
Interference
All wireless phones may be subject to interference, which could affect their performance.
Special Regulations
Follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your phone off
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger (in a
hospital, for example).
Sensible Use
Use the phone in the intended position (held to the ear). If your phone has an external
antenna, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when the phone is on.
Emergency Call
Ensure the phone is switched on and in-service. Key in the emergency number for your
present location, then press the key. Give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
Liquid Resistance
Your phone is not liquid resistant. Keep it dry.
Accessories and Batteries
Use only Samsung-approved accessories and batteries. Use of any unauthorized
accessories could damage your phone and may be dangerous.
1 Important Safety Precautions
Important: Although the phone can be used while the battery is charging, the battery
must be fully charged before first use, otherwise you could damage the battery.
Important: Using a non-supported battery may cause damage to your phone.
Qualified Service
Only qualified service personnel may repair your phone.
For more detailed safety information, see "Safety" on page 147.
Important
Important Safety Precautions 2
Getting Started
This section allows you to start using your phone by activating your service, setting up
your voicemail, inserting your battery, and navigating from the Today screen.
Understanding the User Manual
The chapters of this guide generally follow the same order as the menus and sub menus
in your phone. A robust index for quick reference to most features begins on page 157.
Also included in this manual is important safety information that you should know before
using your phone.
Powering the Phone On and Off
1. Press and hold (for 5 seconds) the
Power On/Off key located at the
top of the phone.
2. The phone receives a signal from your
home network and then logs in. At this
point, the phone displays the Tod ay
screen and only functions as a PDA
(allowing you to run applications) until
you activate the phone features.
Powering Off the Phone
Press and hold the Power On/Off key located at the top of the phone.
Turning the Phone Feature On and Off
Before you can use your Omnia™ phone features, the onboard phone must first be
activated.
Turning On the Phone Feature
From the Tod ay screen, tap the Widget Bar and drag and drop the Wireless
1.
Manager widget onto the desktop.
2. Tap Phone off. The Phone feature is now turned on and you are now able to
make and receive phone calls.
Turning Off the Phone Feature
From the Tod ay screen, tap the Widget Bar and drag and drop the Wireless
1.
Manager widget onto the desktop.
3 Getting Started
2. Tap Phone on. The Phone feature is now turned off and you are now unable
to make or receive phone calls.
Rebooting your Phone after Lockup
The Reset button allows you to quickly turn off the
phone in the event of a program or application error. In
this case your Omnia would appear to “freeze” and
become unresponsive.
1. Locate the Reset button located at the top
of the phone, adjacent to the power key.
2. Carefully insert the stylus into the reset
button hole. After depressing the reset
button, the phone will reboot.
Note: This reset action retains all of your phone’s default parameters and settings. This
action is similar to that of a reset action on your computer which only restarts the machine
while maintaining all data intact.
Resetting your Phone to Factory Defaults
Hard Reset allows you to reset your phone’s settings and clear all data/applications from
the phone’s internal memory. This action resets your phone to its factory default settings,
ends all applications currently running, and wipes all data (pics/video/contacts) from your
phone.
Note: Although this action wipes all information and settings from your Omnia, you can
circumvent the deletion of important data by storing it on your removable microSD memory
card.
1. From the Today screen, tap the right soft key function Main Menu > Settings
> All Settings > System tab > Hard Reset.
2. The Hard Reset screen displays with the Memory tab open. To reset your
phone, tap the Clear all data button.
3. At the Clear all data prompt, tap Yes .
Getting Started
4. Tap the QWERTY keyboard icon at the bottom bar on the main LCD
screen to open the virtual QWERTY keyboard and enter the Device Lock
Code (last 4-digits of your phone number) and tap “yes” in the box.
Getting Started 4
5. Tap the Yes box to proceed. Your phone will reboot to the factory settings.
After the phone reboots, you will need to align the screen and set your local
time. Follow the on-screen prompts when directed.
Note: Press the Reset button (on the top of the phone) while holding the SEND and END
simultaneously. Continue to hold SEND and END until the prompt to re-format device
arrives on screen. Press SEND again to re-format or END to cancel.
Battery
Your Omnia comes with a standard rechargeable battery, power adapter, and headset
accessory.
Note: This phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard Li-Ion
battery and travel charger. 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.
Note: When using a non-supported battery the handset can only be used for the duration
of the life of the battery and cannot be recharged.
Important!: Using a non-supported battery may cause damage to your phone. Use a
Samsung supported battery only.
Installing the Battery
Press down at the top of the battery cover and push in the direction of the
1.

Charging the Battery
Note: Your Omnia comes with a rechargeable battery. Fully charge this battery before
using your phone.
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-ion battery. Only use Samsungapproved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to
maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may
cause damage.
1. Plug the terminal end of the wall charger into the phone’s power/accessory
interface connector and the other end into an electrical outlet.
7 Getting Started
Battery Indicator
The battery indicator in the upper-right corner of the display indicates battery power
level. Four bars indicate a full charge while one bar indicates an almost empty battery.
Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate, a blinking empty
battery icon appears and a tone sounds. If you continue to operate the phone
without charging, it shuts down.
Checking Battery Charge
Keeping track of the battery’s charge is important. If the battery level becomes too low,
your phone automatically shuts down and you could lose important data.
• For a quick check of your battery level, tap the battery icon to display the
main battery’s remaining battery power.
Battery Capacity
When the battery is low, a warning window displays and the backlight turns off.
Note: Long backlight settings, simultaneous use of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, searching for
service, vibrate mode and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
There is also an internal backup battery that saves all phone settings if the regular battery
is discharged. The internal battery maintains data for approximately four hours. This
internal backup battery needs an initial charge of 24 hours.
Perform ActiveSync operations or use a backup utility frequently to avoid losing any
information in case the battery is fully discharged. For more information see
"Synchronization" on page 117.
Battery tab - Charge state
The Battery tab allows you to view the current
power state of the Li-Ion battery. To perform a
battery check:
