Section 1: Getting Started

This section describes the first steps to operating your phone.

SIM Card Information

When you subscribe for 3G cellular network services, you receive a plug-in SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, and available optional services.

Activating Your Phone

Activating your phone requires several things: inserting the SIM card, charging the battery, and turning on the phone.
If necessary, power-off the phone by pressing and holding the
key until the power-off image displays.
Removing the Battery
1. Use a coin or other object inserted in the slot on the back
cover and turn it counter clockwise to open the battery
cover (as shown).
5
2. Use the grooves at the top of the cover to lift the cover up
and away from the back of the phone.
3. Lift the battery up and away from the phone, as shown.
Installing and Removing the SIM Card
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or bending. Use caution when inserting or removing the card, and keep all SIM cards out of reach of children.
1. Remove the back cover and battery.
2. Make sure to orient the SIM card with the gold contacts
facing down and the corner notch positioned as shown
below, then slide the SIM card completely into the socket.
3. To remove the SIM, gently slide it out of the socket.
Note:
The angled corner of the SIM should be inserted as shown in the previous diagram. Improperly inserting the SIM can cause the phone to not recognize the SIM.

Installing the microSD™ Card

To add additional memory to your phone, you can insert a microSD™ card into the memory card slot, located to the right of the SIM card, inside the phone.
Use the following instructions and illustrations for proper insertion and removal.
Note:
The a837 supports microSD™ cards to a maximum size of 4GB. The handset was also verified to support SanDisk™ microSD™ cards of up to 8GB.
1. Remove the back cover and battery.
2. Push the microSD™ card into the slot until it rests
securely in the brackets.
Warning!:
Please note the printed circuit side faces down when inserting the card.
Getting Started 6
3.
To remove the card, push it backward until it clears the
brackets in the slot, then lift and remove it (refer to
illustration).
Replacing the Battery
1. To reinstall the battery, with the battery cover open, align
the battery tabs with the slots at the bottom of the phone.
7
2. Press the battery down until it clicks into place. Make sure
the battery is properly installed and not obstructing the
SIM card before replacing the cover.
3. With the battery in position on the phone, place the cover
back on the handset and turn the grooved dial clockwise
until the cover locks.
Note:
The battery must be properly installed before charging the battery or switching on the phone.

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the travel adapter to charge the battery, and use only Samsung approved batteries and chargers.
Note:
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.
Caution!:
For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adaptor could damage your phone and void your warranty.
1. Open the side slot and plug the connector of the travel
adapter jack into the jack on the side of the phone.
Note:
The previous illustration is the correct and incorrect method for connecting the charger. If the incorrect method is attempted, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
2. Plug the adaptor into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When the phone is completely charged ( ), unplug the
adapter from the power outlet.
4. Remove the adapter from the phone by gently pulling the
connector out and replace the plastic cover back over the
open jack.
Getting Started 8
Important!:
The battery charging function may stop if you are on a call or viewing a streaming-video while charging your battery.
Note:
During charging, you must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the phone to avoid damage.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds, the “Battery Low” message repeats at regular intervals on the display, and the empty battery icon ( ) blinks. The backlight turns off to conserve the remaining battery power.
Note:
If your phone is in Silent Mode, the Low Battery Indicator defaults to Vibration (see ”Sound Profile” on page 133). If you change the alert from Vibration to Mute, you will see a flashing message that indicates a low battery.

Turning the Phone On or Off

1. Open the phone.
2. Press and hold the key until the phone power-on
screen displays.
Note:
Do not turn on the phone when mobile phone use is prohibited.
3. If the phone asks, enter a password and press the Confirm
soft key or the key. For further details, see “Change
Phone Password” on page 141.
The Idle screen displays while the phone searches for your
network. After the phone finds your network and displays
adequate signal strength bars, you can make or receive
calls.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off. Recharge your battery.
9
Note:
The display language is preset to Automatic at the factory. To change the language, use the Language menu. For more information, refer
to “Phone” on page 138.
4. When you wish to switch off the phone, press and hold the
key until the power-off image displays.
