Getting Started
SIM Card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you receive a plug-in SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card loaded with your subscription details,
such as your PIN, and optional services you have selected.
Activating Your Phone
Activating your phone requires several steps: inserting the SIM card,
charging the battery, and turning the phone on.
Removing the Battery
Note: You must unplug the travel adapter before removing the battery from the phone to avoid
damage.
If necessary, power-off the phone by pressing [ ] until the power-off
image displays.
1. Slide the battery cover off of the phone (in the direction of the arrow).
Getting Started
4
2. Lift the battery out of the phone (bottom edge first).
Installing the SIM Card
Important! The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or
bending. Use caution when inserting or removing the card and keep all SIM cards out of reach of
children.
Position the SIM card with the gold contacts facing toward the phone and
the angled corner at the outer right side (as indicated on the phone), then
carefully slide the card into the SIM socket.
To remove the SIM card, slide it out of the socket.
Getting Started
5
Installing the Battery
1. Align the top edge of the battery under the tabs at the top edge of the
battery chamber with the arrow on the battery pointing toward the
battery contacts.
2. Press the battery down until it is seated in the battery chamber. Make
sure that the battery is properly installed before replacing the cover.
3. Slide the cover back on the phone until it locks into position.
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion (lithium ion) battery. Use
the travel adapter to charge the battery, and use only Samsung approved
batteries and chargers.
Getting Started
6
Note: Fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery
recharges fully in approximately four hours. You can use the phone while the battery is charging,
but this causes the phone to charge more slowly.
Note: For connection to an electrical supply not located in North America, you must use an
adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage
your phone and void your warranty.
1. Plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack on the right side of
the phone.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is off, the
display indicates that the phone is charging. If the phone is on, the bars
in the battery icon flash to indicate charging.
3. When the phone is fully charged, the message “Battery Full” appears
on the display or the bars in the battery icon stop flashing.
4. Unplug the adapter from the power outlet and disconnect it from the
phone by gently pulling the connector out of the jack.
Note: To avoid damaging the phone, you must unplug the adapter before removing the battery
from the phone.
Getting Started
7
Note: The phone is also charged when connected to the USB port of a PC using the USB cable.
Low Battery Indication
When only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds, the
“Low Battery” message appears on the display and the empty battery icon
flashes. The backlight dims to conserve the remaining battery power.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.
Recharge the battery to restore phone operation.
Switching the Phone On and Off
To switch the phone on:
1. Press and hold [ ] until the phone switches on.
2. If prompted, enter the password and press <OK> or [ ]. For further
details, see the Security option in section “Phone” on page 114.
3. If prompted, enter the PIN and press [ ]. For further details, see the
Check PIN Code section in “Phone” on page 114.
The phone searches for your network and, after finding it, the Idle
screen appears on the display. You can now make and receive calls.
The default display language setting is Automatic, which is dependent
on the setting in your SIM. For further details or to change the
language, see the Language section in “Phone” on page 114.
To switch the phone off, press and hold [ ] until the power-off image
is displayed.
