Section 1: Getting Started

This section explains how to start using your phone by first configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then setting up your voice mail.

Setting Up Your Phone

Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM into their corresponding internal compartments. The microSD™ card slot is also located in this same internal area.
1. Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the back
cover and sliding the cover in the direction shown (1).
2. Lift the cover away from the phone (2).
Installing the SIM Card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, available optional services, and many others features.
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket until the card locks into place.
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.
Getting Started 5
Note:
Correct
Incorrect
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot.

Charging a Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Adapter that is used to charge the battery, is included with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, 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.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Adapter
1. With the battery installed, temporarily remove the plastic
cover (lower right side of phone) and plug in the wall charger’s connector into the jack.
Important!:
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is connected, the handset may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.
Note:
The wall charger’s connector attaches to the phone at a slight angle.

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power by reducing the backlight’s brightness and entering a dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Five bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
