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 others 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.
If necessary, switch off the phone by pressing and holding until the power-off image displays.
1. Press the battery lock down until you hear a click sound (as indicated) to remove the battery cover.
2. Carefully lift the battery cover away from the bottom of the phone.
4
3.
Lift and remove the battery.
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.
Getting Started 5
5.
Replace the battery:
•
(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.
6. Reinstall the battery cover by sliding it back onto the phone until you hear it securely click. Make sure the
battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.

Charging a Battery
Correct
Incorrect
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 200 minutes.
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.
2. Plug the adapter’s power plug into a standard AC wall outlet.
Note:
The previous illustration displays the incorrect method for connecting the charger. If attempted, damage to the accessory port
will occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
Getting Started 7
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.
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.
Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold 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 .
3. If the phone asks for a PIN, use the keypad to enter the PIN and press either the OK soft key or . For
further details, see “Check PIN code” on page 66.

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 64.
4. When you wish to switch off the phone, press and hold until the power-off image displays.
