Section 1: Getting Started

This section explains how to start using your SCH-r450 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 142.
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 119.

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

Charging the Battery

3

120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.

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.

Turning Your Phone On
