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, any optional
services available, and many others.
Installing the SIM Card
Important! The plug-in SIM card and its contacts 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 holding down the
Section 1
key until the power-off image displays.
Remove the battery. To do so:
1. Slide the battery lock toward the top of the phone and
hold it in that position.
2. Lift the battery away, as shown.

Activating Your Phone
3. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket so that the
card locks into place. Make sure the gold contacts of the
card face into the phone.
Note: When you need to remove the SIM card, slide it, as shown, and take
it out of the socket.

4. Place the battery so that the tabs on the end align with
the slots at the bottom of the phone.
5. Press the battery down until it clicks into place. Make
sure that the battery is properly installed before
Section 1
switching on the phone.
Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A
travel adapter comes with your phone for charging the
battery. 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
this causes the phone to charge more slowly.

Activating Your Phone
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 in position on the phone, remove the
jack cover at the bottom of the phone and plug the
connector of the travel adapter into the jack.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter from the
power outlet and disconnect it from the phone by
pressing the buttons on both sides of the connector (1)
and pulling the connector out (2).
