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 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

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 (as shown below) until the card locks into place.

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the phone and that the angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.

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

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 top right side of 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.

4.When the battery is fully charged, the phone displays a 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 or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object 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 180.

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.

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.

Note: The display language is preset to English at the factory. To change the language, use the Language menu. For more information, refer to

“Changing Your Settings” on page 51.

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. 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 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:

16

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.

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.

When any Java application, such as a game, is paused, 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 Down arrows to scroll up or down.
