the gold-coloured contacts of the card are face down.

Continue to install the battery. See the next page.

Getting started

Removing the SIM card

To remove the SIM card, slide the card out of the holder, as shown.

Installing the battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery.

Installing the battery

Getting started

Charging your device

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the travel adapter to charge the battery, and use only Samsung approved batteries and chargers. Use of the wrong adaptor could damage your phone and void your warranty.

Note

: You must fully charge the battery before using your

phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 200 minutes. You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but this causes the phone to charge more slowly.

1. Plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack on

the left side of the device.

Getting started

Note

: The following illustration shows the correct and

incorrect method for connecting the adapter. Verify the arrow on the adapter is showing and pointing to the device for a correct connection. If it is not, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the device’s warranty.

2. Plug the travel adapter into a standard AC power outlet.

When charging is finished, unplug the adapter from the power outlet.

3. Remove the travel adapter from the device.

Note

: Do not remove the battery while charging. It may cause

malfunctions and may damage the

device

Getting started

Low battery warning

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Main Battery very low” message repeats at regular intervals on the display and the battery icon ( ) displays. The backlight turns off to conserve the remaining battery power.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device automatically turns off.

Turning your device on or off

Press and hold to turn on your device. The device is logged into your home network and receives the signal from the network. You can now make or answer calls and use programs on the device.

To turn off the device, press and hold .

Note

: Your device supports HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink

Packet Access) connections. Because the HSDPA network configurations are different from country to country, a notification may appear to indicate that your HSDPA options have changed if you move across the boundaries between countries. To apply the new changes, you must restart your device. If you do not, making or receiving calls and transmitting data simultaneously may not work. In some countries, incoming and outgoing voice calls may be limited until the HSDPA networks are upgraded.
