down the key until the power-off image displays.

2. Remove the battery. To do so:

phone and hold it in that position.

Getting started

3. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket, as

shown, so that the card locks into position.

Make sure the metal contacts of the card face into the phone.

Note

: When you need to remove the SIM card,

slide it upwards, as shown, and take it out of the socket.

4. Replace the battery so that the tabs on the end

Getting started

5. Press the battery down until it clicks into place.

Make sure that the battery is properly installed before switching on the power.

Charging the 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 adapters. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.

The travel adapter 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 recharges fully in approximately 200 minutes.

1. With the battery in position on 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.

Getting started

3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter

from the power outlet and disconnect it from the phone by pressing the buttons on both sides of the connector and pulling the connector out.

Note

: You must unplug the adapter before removing

the battery from the phone during charging; otherwise, the phone could be damaged.

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 the display. When this happens, your phone turns off the backlight to conserve the remaining battery power.

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

Getting started

Switching on or off the phone

1. Press and hold the key until the phone

switches on.

2. If the phone asks you to enter a password, enter

a password and press the password is preset to “00000000” at the factory. For further details, see page 132.
