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.
3. Lift and remove the battery.
5
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket until the card locks into place. Make sure that the card’s
4.
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 6
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
Incorrect
Correct
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.
A standard battery allows up to 5 hours of talk time.
