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

handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key until the power-off image displays.
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the battery cover in the direction indicated.
2. Carefully lift the battery cover up, and away from the bottom of the phone.

Use your finger or thumb to lift up the lower edge of the battery (notice the indented slot) and gently lift the
battery out of the handset.
4. Carefully slide the SIM card under the metal bracket and 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 show.
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM card. Remove the battery and re-orient the card back
into the slot.

Incorrect
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
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.
9
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 continuously power cycles and prevents 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
occurs therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter’s power plug from the AC wall outlet and then disconnect the
travel adapter’s connector from the phone.
4. 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 the key until the phone switches on.
2. If the phone asks you to enter the phone password, use the keypad to enter this password and press either
the OK soft key or .
