Getting Started
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, any optional services, and other information.
Warning! The plug-in SIM card 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 the reach of small children.
If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key
until the power-off image displays.
1. Remove the battery. To do so, press the ridged area on the
battery using your thumb (1) and gently slide it in the direction of
the arrow (2). Remove the battery.
2. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket so that the card locks

Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A travel
adapter comes with your phone for charging the battery. Use only
approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for
further details.
You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but this causes
the phone to charge more slowly.
Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A
discharged battery takes about 200 minutes to recharge fully.
1. With the battery in position in the phone, plug the connector of
the travel adapter into the jack at the bottom of the phone.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.
Note: For connection to an electrical supply not located in Canada or the U.S., you must
use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter
could damage your phone and void your warranty.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain,
a warning tone sounds and a message repeats at regular intervals on
Getting Started

the display. If this happens, the display dims to conserve the

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.
Check the battery indicator icon periodically and recharge as needed
to make sure the phone has enough battery power when needed.
Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Open the phone.
2. Press and hold the key until the phone switches on.
3. If the phone asks you to enter the phone password, enter the
password and press the OK soft key. It is preset to “00000000” at
the factory. For further details, see “Change password” on
page 139.
4. If the phone asks for a PIN, enter the PIN and press the OK soft
key. For further details, see “PIN check” on page 138.
The phone searches for your network and, after finding it, the idle
screen appears on the display. You can now make or receive a call.
The display language is preset to Automatic and is dependent on
the setting in the SIM as determined by your service provider. To
change the language, use the Language menu (Menu 9.2.1). For
further details, see “Language” on page 122.
