IMPORTANT!
Your PDA phone has a built-in backup battery that maintains the
PDA phone data storage when the main battery is removed.
When you charge the main battery for the first time, the backup
battery will also charge. It takes about 48 hours to fully charge
the backup battery. When fully charged, it will maintain stored
data for 1 hour.
If the main battery is removed from the PDA phone for
more than 1 hour, you’ll lose any data stored in the PDA
phone’s memory. Make sure that you perform a backing
up your data, referring to page 211, or HotSync
operation, referring to page 216, before removing the
battery.
19
Using a Battery
Charging the Battery
You can charge the battery using the supplied desktop
holder or travel charger.
Using the Desktop Holder
You can use the desktop holder to charge the battery
and synchronise your PDA phone to your computer. For
additional information about synchronising the PDA
phone, see page 216.

Using a 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 etc.
• Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of small
children.
• The SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by
scratches or bending, so be careful when handling,
inserting, or removing the card.
Inserting the SIM Card
1. If necessary, remove the battery by referring to
page 19.
2. Insert and slide the SIM card under the two tabs, as
shown, ensuring that the gold coloured metal contacts of
the card face down into the PDA phone.
25
Using a SIM Card
Removing the SIM Card
To remove the SIM card, slide the card out of the holder,
as shown.

Performing the First Setup
The first time you install a battery on your PDA phone,
the Setup screen appears automatically. You must
calibrate the screen and set the country, time zone,
time, and date.
1. Slide the stylus out of the storage slot.
2. Expand the stylus by pulling the handle.
3. Hold the stylus as you would a pen or pencil, and follow
the onscreen instructions to set up the screen.
Note:
For your phone data safety, charge your battery at least 48
hours when you charge the battery for the first time. For
more detailed information, see page 19.
When the PDA phone is reset, the first setup screen
appears. If you want to perform the first setup while using
the PDA phone, use the Welcome application. See
page 209.
27
Adding an Expansion Card
An expansion card (sold separately) increases the
variety of tasks you can do and the amount of space you
have for storing software and data on your PDA phone.
Your PDA phone is compatible with SD (Secure Digital),
or MMC (Multi Media Card) expansion cards.
Note:
When you use an expansion card for the first time on your
SGH-i530, you need to format this expansion card on the
SGH-i530. For formating information, refer to page 214.
Formatting the expansion card will create a recognisable
folder at SGH-i530, titled ‘PALM\Launcher’. If you insert an
expansion card formated on a PC, you will see the message
of asking reformat on the SGH-i530. This is because the
current expansion card does not have recognisable folder at
the SGH-i530.
Inserting a Card
1. Insert the card into the expansion card slot with the
label side facing up.
28
Adding an Expansion Card
2. Push the card in until it locks into place.
Removing a Card
1. Lightly push the card in.
When the card is released, you will hear the system
sound, provided that the system sound is turned on.
See page 249 for information about turning the system
sound on and off.
IMPORTANT!
You can damage the expansion card slot if you pull the card out
of the slot before you hear the system sound.
2. Slide the card out of the expansion card slot.
For complete information about working with the
expansion card, see page 41.
