Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your phone by first configuring your hardware, activating your service, and
then setting up your voice mail.
Activating Your Phone
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, available optional services, and many other features.
Installing the SIM Card
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts information can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when
handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
1. If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key until the power-off image displays.
2. Remove the battery cover by pressing the battery lock down until you hear a click sound (as indicated).
3. Carefully lift the battery cover away from the bottom of the phone.

4.
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket until the card locks into place. Make sure that the card’s
gold contacts face into the phone and that the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned as shown
below.
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone will not detect the SIM card. Remove the battery and re-orient the card back
into the slot.
Replacing the Batter y:
1. Slide the battery back into the compartment so that the tabs on the end align with the slots at the bottom of
the phone.
2. Press the battery down until it clicks into place (as shown).
Getting Started 6
3.
Reinstall the battery cover by sliding it back onto the phone until you here it securely click. Make sure the
battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.
Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A travel adapter, which is used for charging the battery, is
included with your phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further
details.
You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but doing so requires additional charging time.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately
4 hours.
1. With the battery installed, temporarily remove the plastic cover on the right side of the phone and plug in the
travel adapter’s connector into the jack.
Important!:
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connecting the travel adapter. If the battery is not installed and the travel
adapter is connected the handset will power cycle continuously preventing proper operation.

3. When charging is finished, first unplug the adapter’s power plug from the AC wall outlet and then disconnect
the travel adapter’s connector from the phone then resecure the plastic cover over the interface jack on the
phone.
Warning!:
Failure to unplug the travel adapter before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Getting Started 8
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain; a warning tone sounds and the “Battery low”
message repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery
power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.

1. Press and hold the key until the phone switches on.
2. If the phone asks you to enter the phone password, use the keypad to enter your password and press either
the OK soft key or the key.
3. If the phone asks for a PIN, use the keypad to enter the PIN and press either the
OK
soft key or the key.
For more information, refer to “Check PIN code” on page 73.
The phone searches for your network and after finding it, the term “T-Mobile” displays on the upper left half of
your screen. Now you can make or receive calls.
Note:
The display language is preset to English at the factory. To change the language, use the Language menu. For more information,
refer to “Language” on page 71.
