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 Voicemail.

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.

Removing the Cover

1.If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down until the power-off image displays.

2.Remove the cover by pulling up on the slot (see diagram), then lift the cover up and off the phone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pull up on the slot (1)

 

Lift the cover up (2) and off the phone (3)

3. Place your thumbnail in the notch at the top (1) and lift it up and out (2) (as shown).

6

Removing the Battery

Lift up (1) and remove (2) the battery.

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.

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.

Getting Started

7

Note: If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot.

Replacing the Battery

1.Slide the battery into the compartment so that the tabs on the end align with the slots at the bottom of the phone. Be sure to line up the gold contacts.

2.Lightly press down on the battery until it snaps into place.

3.Check that the battery is properly installed before turning on the phone.

8

Installing or Removing the Memory Card

Your phone supports an optional memory card (microSD™) for data storage of such things as music, pictures, video or other files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.

Note: The Samsung device supports up to a 32 Gigabyte memory card.

1.Place the microSD card into the slot (as shown) and push lightly with your thumb or finger until you hear a light click sound. Ensure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the card is placed so that the indentations on the card face the same direction as those illustrated.

2.Push the microSD card with your thumb a second time to eject it from the slot.

Getting Started

Correct

Incorrect

Replacing the Cover

Press down on the corners of the battery cover until you hear a click. Verify that the battery cover is secured.

10

Charging a Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Lithium ion battery. A wall charger, 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 left side of the phone (as indicated) and plug in the wall charger’s connector into the jack.

Important!: Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger. If the battery is not installed and the wall charger is connected, the handset power cycles continuously, preventing proper operation.

Correct

Incorrect

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

11

2.Plug the adapter’s power plug into a standard AC wall outlet.

3.When charging is finished, first unplug the adapter’s power plug from the AC wall outlet and then disconnect the wall charger’s connector from the phone.

Warning!: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can cause the phone to become damaged.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain; a warning tone sounds and the “Low battery” 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 this password and touch Confirm.

3.If the phone asks for a PIN, use the keypad to enter the PIN and touch Confirm. For more information, refer to

“Check PIN code” on page 152.

The phone searches for your network and after finding it, the carrier’s name displays on the screen. Now you can make or receive calls.

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