Getting Started

Installing the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, provided is a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, and any optional services available.

Important! The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when inserting or removing the card.

Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small children.

To install the SIM card, use the following steps:

1.If necessary, turn off the phone by holding down the key until the power-off image displays.

2.Remove the battery. To do so:

Press the battery lock and hold it in that position.

Slide the battery and lift it away, as shown.

3.Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket so that it locks the card into position.

Getting Started

Make sure the gold 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.

Getting Started

4.Replace the battery, taking care to match the tabs on the battery with the grooves on the phone.

5.Slide the battery towards the top of the phone until it clicks into place. Make sure that the battery is properly installed before switching the power on.

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 chargers. 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 slower.

Getting Started

Note: You MUST fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery is fully recharged in approximately

200minutes.

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.

3.When charging is finished, unplug the adapter from the power outlet and disconnect it from the phone by pressing

Getting Started

the gray tabs 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.

Turning the Phone On or Off

1.Open the folder.

2.Press and hold the key until the phone turns on.

3.If the phone asks you to enter a password, enter the password and press the OK soft key. The phone password is
