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 lower portion of the phone.

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.

䊳

Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as shown on the next page) 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:

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 until it clicks (as

shown).

•

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

Incorrect

Note:

The Samsung a877 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).

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

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.

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 (top 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.

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.

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 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, Messaging, MEdia Net, Music Player, Games and Apps, End all?. 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.

Multitask Functions

Pressing the Multitasking key ( ) on the left 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.

•

Messaging

: allows you to send a text or multimedia message while

using the handset for other tasks.

•

MEdia Net

: allows you to launch the MEdia Net 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 and Apps

: allows you to quickly access Games and

Applications while using the handset for other tasks.

•

End all?

: exits the Multitask menu and returns you to your previously

active menu or page.

Section 5: Entering Text

Display

This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode when entering characters using the phone keypad or the nested, QWERTY keyboard-style keypad. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes needed to enter text.

The a877 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 a877 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.

Built-in QWERTY Keypad

Your a877 has a built-in, keyboard-style keypad, commonly called QWERTY, that you can access by sliding it open from beneath the top section of the phone. This also automatically rotates the image in the display to show information in a wider, landscape format. Using the QWERTY keypad, you can type letters, numbers, punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields or other applications simpler and faster than using the telephone keypad.

Your phone has the following text input modes:

•

( ): 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.

•

( ): 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.

Emoticons

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 a877 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 49). 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 49.

Changing the Text Input Mode - Keypad

When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Contacts List, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your phone’s keypad.

When storing an Address Book entry into the SIM card, note that only the name, phone number, group, and slot location are initially offered as fields (some SIM cards may allow an address as well). To save additional information for a particular contact, such as other phone numbers, or e-mail, it is important to add new fields to that Contact information. It is also important to note that if you move the SIM card to another phone that does not support additional fields on the SIM card, this additional information may not be available.
