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 cover.

2. While applying pressure, slide the top portion up and away

from the silver, lower portion of the phone.

5

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 and its contacts information 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.

䊳

Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as
shown) 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.

Note:

If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM
card. Re-orient the card back into the slot.

Installing the Memory Card

Your phone also supports the use of a memory card (microSD™)
for data 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.

1. Place the microSD card into the slot (as shown).

•

Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the
card is securely inserted.

Note:

The Samsung A867 has been tested to support up to an 8GB 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).

Getting Started 6

Charging a Battery





Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Adapter 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.





Replace the battery cover onto the back of the phone (3).

3.

4. While applying pressure, slide the top portion towards the

camera area (4) until you hear a light click.

Note:

Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the
phone.

7

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 (left 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.

2.

Incorrect

+

Correct

Plug the flat end of the Travel Adapter into the Power/
Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.

3. When charging is finished, first unplug the adapter’s power

plug from the AC wall outlet and then remove the flat end
from the interface connector jack on the phone.

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.

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser
use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby
times.

Using the Multitasking Menu

This key ( ) launches the Multitask menu that can be
activated from within any active window or page on the phone.
There is now no need to stop what you are doing, if you quickly
want to jump out and 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,
Music Player, Main menu, MEdia Net, and Messaging. 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.
Typically, you would have to exit from your current message,
navigate to the Idle screen, make your call (page 28), 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 Call, then enter your number and continue the call.

3. Once you are done, hang up the call normally and you are

returned to the previous message screen.

Pressing the Multitasking key ( ) on the right side of the
handset, allows you to choose from one of the following
functions:

•

Call

: allows you to make a voice call while using the handset for other

tasks. If Music Player is active, it is muted during the call.

SYM

SYM

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to
reduce the number of key strokes associated with entering text.

The A867 comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text. If the
phone is sideways, an onscreen keyboard is displayed. When
upright, only the alphanumeric keypad is shown.

The A867 not only provides several on screen keypad/keypad
text entry options, but also provides handwriting recognition to
make the task of text entry that much easier.

Text Input Options

Your phone has the following text input modes:

•

T9

( ): this mode allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter;
for example, touching can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9®
mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with
an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus
requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.

•

Abc

Multitap

( ): this mode allows you to enter letters by touching the
key labeled with the letter you want repeatedly, and then selecting the
character from the available series of onscreen characters.

•

Numeric

( ): this mode allows you to enter numbers.

•

Symbols

( ): this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as

punctuation marks.

•

Emoticons

( ): this mode allows you to scroll through pages of

emoticons and then select one for insertion into your message.

When you are in a field that allows character entry, the text input
mode indicator displays on the upper right portion of the screen.

Changing the Entry Method

The A867 can detect the orientation of the phone and adjust the
text input screen accordingly. If the phone is detected in a Portrait
(upright) orientation, only the alphanumeric keypad is shown. If
the phone is turned on its side, the screen displays a full
keyboard (page 48). The following will describe entering text in
the portrait mode. For more information on entering text in
Landscape mode, see “Using the QWERTY Keyboard” on
page 48.

don't need to line up the devices to beam information with
Bluetooth. If the devices are within a range of one another, you

This section allows you to manage your daily contacts by storing
their name and number in your Address Book. Address Book
entries can be sorted by name, entry, or group.

the name, phone number, group, and slot location are initially offered
as fields (some SIM cards may allow an address as well). Although you
may add additional fields to a SIM entry; if you move that same SIM
card to another model phone, it is possible that only the basic
information will be transferred.
