Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your Samsung R380
phone by activating your service, setting up your Voicemail, or
getting an understanding of how this manual is put together.
Understanding this 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 122.
Also included is important safety information that you should
know before using your phone. Most of this information is near
the back of the guide, beginning on page 93.
Notes and Tips
Throughout this guide there is text that is set apart from the rest.
These are intended to point out important information, quick
methods for activating features, to define terms, and more. The
definitions for these methods are as follows:
•
Notes
: Explain alternative options within the current feature, menu, or
sub-menu.
•
Tips
: Provide quick or innovative methods for performing functions
related to the subject at hand.
•
Important
: Points out important information about the current feature
that could affect performance, or even damage your phone.
Text Conventions
This manual provides condensed information about how to use
your phone. To make this possible, the following terms and icon
appear in place of repeatedly-used procedural steps:

highlighting effect onto a menu item or screen item of
interest.
select
After “highlighting” a menu item or screen item,
press the OK key ( ) to launch, access, or save a
highlighted menu item or screen field of interest.

Installing 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.
1. Insert the top end of the
battery first, matching the
gold contacts on the top of
the battery to those on the
phone.
2. Press lightly on the bottom
end of the battery down
into the phone until it slips into place.
3. Seat the battery cover
on the back of the phone
(1) and press the battery
cover up into place (2).
5
Remove the Batter y
1. Press and hold the
key to turn off the phone
(if on).
2. Press the battery cover

Charging the Battery
Charging Head
Incorrect
Correct
USB Cable
Correct
Incorrect
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion 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,
light-weight 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.
Important!:
For connection to an electrical supply not located in North
America, you must use an adapter of the proper configuration for
the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your
phone and void your warranty.
2. Insert the USB Data Cable into the Travel Adapter (see
above) and into the charger/accessory connector on the
upper right side of your phone, as shown here.
Important!:
You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from
the phone during charging to avoid damage.
Low battery indicator
The battery indicator ( ) in the upper-right corner of the
display indicates power level. Monitor the battery strength and
ensure your battery is adequately charged.
•
Five bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
•
An empty battery icon ( ) indicates a near empty battery.
•
A blinking empty battery icon ( ) and a tone sounding indicate you
have two to three minutes before the battery is too low to operate the
phone.
Getting Started 6
If you continue to use your phone without charging its battery, the
phone will shut down.
Activating Your Phone
Contact your Wireless Provider and follow their instructions for
obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this
guide to fully understand the services your phone supports.
Warning!:
Your touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of
your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a
metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage
the tempered glass surface and void the warranty (see “Warranty
Information” on page 113).
Turning Your Phone On
1. Press and hold the key until the display lights.
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.
2. The phone begins searching for a network signal.
3. Once the phone finds a signal, the time, date, and day
appear near the top of the display.
4. You’re now ready to place and receive calls.
7
Note:
If you are outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area, the No
Service icon ( ) appears at the top of the phone’s display. If you
cannot place or receive calls, try later when service is available, or at
another location.
Turn Your Phone Off
䊳
Press and hold the key for two or more seconds. Your
phone powers off.
Note:
If your phone is on and you press for less than one second, the
phone will not power off. This prevents your phone from being turned
off accidentally.
Setting Up Your Voicemail
Voicemail allows callers to leave voice messages, which can be
retrieved any time.
Note:
Once your Voicemail account has been set up, you can use the
Voicemail folder (under the
messages in your Voicemail box.
Messages
menu) to view details of voice
1. In Standby mode, press and hold the key or dial your
own mobile number to dial Voicemail.
2. Follow the prompts in the new user tutorial to setup your
mail box.
Listen to Voicemail
1. In Standby mode, press and hold the key or dial your
own mobile number to dial Voicemail. After connecting,
you will hear your voice greeting.
2. You are prompted to enter your password.
Memory Card (Optional)
Your phone has a Memory Card slot on its left side. You can
install a microSD™ or microSDHC™ Memory Card to provide
additional memory for storing files (such as, sound files and
photos) in your phone.
Install a Memory Card
1. Open the memory card slot cover on the left side of your
phone.
Incorrect
Correct
2. Carefully insert the Memory Card — label side facing up
and smaller end pointing toward the phone — into the
Memory Card slot, as shown, until you feel it click into
place.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Note:
When you install a new microSD or microSDHC card in your R380
phone, it creates the file folders needed for storing multimedia files.
If you install a microSD or microSDHC card that has been used in
another device, you should format the card. (For more information,
refer to “Memory” on page 92.)
Do not add other file folders or file types to the Memory Card with
another device. This slows the phone’s access to files on the Memory
Card. Instead, use the R380 to download files to the Memory card or
use the USB data cable with the R380 to add files to the Memory Card.
Remove a Memor y Card
1. Open the memory card slot cover on the left side of your
phone.
2. Carefully press the Memory Card inward until you feel it
release.
3. Slowly release your pressure on the card. It will slide
outward a short distance.
4. Remove the Memory Card from the Memory Card slot.
Getting Started 8
If desired, install another Memory Card. (For more
