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 available and so on.
Important! The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can
be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be
careful when handling, inserting or removing the
card.
Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small children.
1. If necessary, switch the phone off by holding
down the key until the power-off image
displays.
2. Remove the battery. To do so:
➀
Slide the battery lock towards the top of the phone
and hold it in that position.
➁
Lift the battery away, as shown.

phone.

Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. A travel charger comes with your phone for
charging the battery.
Note: Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung
dealer for further details.
The travel charger allows you to 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 is fully recharged in approximately 200 minutes.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug the
connector of the travel charger into the jack at
the bottom of the phone.
