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.
Removing the Battery Cover
1. Remove the battery cover by placing your thumbnail into
the slot at the bottom of the phone (1). If you have fragile
nails, use a pointed object.
2. Lift the cover up and off the phone (2).
Installing the SIM Card
Make sure the gold contacts of the card face into the phone, and
that the angled corner of the card is positioned as shown, as you
slide the SIM card into the socket.
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.
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM
card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.
Getting Started 5
Installing the Memory Card
Correct
Incorrect
Your phone also supports the use of a memory card (microSD™)
for storage of such things as data, music, pictures, and video
files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this
mobile phone and other devices.
䊳
Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as
shown).
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the
card is securely inserted.
Note:
Your phone has been tested to support up to a 16GB memory card.
Installing the Battery
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the
phone, making sure the connectors align (1).
2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the
phone.
Replacing the Battery Cover
1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone and
press down (1).
2. Press down on the bottom of the phone (2) until you hear a
light click.

Charging a Battery
Correct
DATA LINK CABLE
Incorrect
Incorrect
Correct
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 requires 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, lift and rotate the plastic Power/
Accessory Interface connector cover at the bottom left side
of the phone.
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.
2. Plug the data cable into the base piece provided and into
the Power/Accessory Interface connector on your phone.
3. Plug the base piece into a standard AC wall outlet.
Getting Started 7
When the battery is fully charged, the phone displays a
4.
message telling you the battery is full. Remove the
connector from the phone.
Warning!:
If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a
touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your
finger. Using excessive force when pressing on the touch screen
may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty.
For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on
page 182.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can
cause damage to the phone.
Low Battery Indicator
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, not by turning off the
backlight, but by entering the 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.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.
8
Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold or until the phone switches on.
The phone launches the activation splash screen and then
proceeds to search for the network. Once the network has
been found, you can make or receive calls.

Using the Multitasking Menu
The Multitask key ( ) launches the Multitask menu that
can be activated from within any active window or page on the
phone. There is no need to stop what you are doing, if you want
to quickly activate another common feature.
The idea is to allow you to temporarily exit from your current
location to access a group of common functions such as: Call,
Messaging, Mobile Web, Music Player, Games, and End all. Using
this key keeps you from having to completely exit from your
current task or window, whether that be a text message, a web
page, or an active call, just to quickly do something else.
Here is an example:
You might be in the middle of typing up an email or text message,
when you suddenly realize that you need to make a quick call.
16
Typically, you would have to exit from your current message,
navigate to the Idle screen, make your call, after which you
would have to go back and re-create your message.
Using this same situation, all you would have to do is:
1. Press until the you see the Multitask menu
screen.
2. Touch
3. Once you are done, hang up the call normally and you are

returned to the previous message screen.
Multitask Functions
Pressing the Multitasking key ( ) on the right side of the
handset, allows you to choose from one of the following
functions:

tasks. If Music Player is active, it is muted during the call.
Messaging
•
: allows you to send a text or multimedia message while
using the handset for other tasks.
•
Mobile Web
: allows you to launch the Mobile Web browser while using
the handset for other tasks.
•
Music Player
: allows you to launch the Music Player while using the
handset for other tasks. If an incoming call is received or you want to
make a call, the Music Player is muted.
•
Games
: allows you to quickly access Games while using the handset
for other tasks.
•
End all?
: closes all running applications or tasks and returns you to the
Idle screen.

suspended, or minimized, the Multitask screen is modified to
include the Java application. In the example below, the bowling
game has been paused.
Touch the Up or

arrows to scroll up or down.

phone has done away with the need for navigation wheels or
keypads. Your phone is completely navigable by either an
on-screen touch or scroll.

Touching an on-screen option activates the feature.
•
Long menu lists can be easily viewed by using your fingertip to
scroll up or down the on-screen list or by pressing the volume key
up or down.
