SIM Card

Your phone uses a 4G LTE SIM (Subscriber Identity Module). The 4G LTE SIM is a small, rectangular plastic card that stores your phone number, information about your wireless service, and other information such as messages.

The SIM card is installed under the back cover, and must remain in the phone when in use.

Note: If you purchased your phone at a Verizon Wireless store,

the SIM card is activated and ready to use. If you ordered a new phone, the card may need to be activated before you can use it. For more information about activating the SIM card, visit:

verizonwireless.com/4GSIM.

Caution! Turn the phone off before installing or removing the

SIM card. Do not bend or scratch the SIM card. Take care when handling, installing, or removing the SIM card, and avoid exposing the SIM card to static electricity, water, or dirt. Keep the SIM card out of reach of small children.

Installing the 4G LTE SIM Card

1. Remove the back cover.

2. With the Verizon Wireless logo facing up, carefully

insert the 4G LTE SIM Card into the slot, pressing gently until it locks into place.

3. 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.

4. Install the back cover.

Note: If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone will not

detect the SIM card. Reorient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.

Installing the Battery

Important! The battery provided with your phone contains a

Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna. To ensure proper operation of the NFC features, do not use any other battery in your phone.

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the

phone, making sure the connectors align (1).

2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before

switching on the phone.

Removing and Installing the Memory Card

You can use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC memory card to expand available memory space if you desire. This secure digital card enables you to exchange images, music, and data between SD-compatible devices. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.

Note: Your phone has been tested to support up to a 64GB

memory card.

Page 17

Installing the Memory Card

 With the gold contacts facing down, slide the memory

card into the slot and gently push it into place.

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Charger that is used to charge the battery, is included with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.

Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your

phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours. After the first charge, you can use the phone while charging.

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on page 37.

Removing the Memory Card

 Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.

Warning! Use only Samsung-approved charging devices and

batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, web browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging, doing so will require additional charging time.

Getting Started 11

Page 18

Using the Travel Charger

Important! Verify that the phone battery is installed prior to

connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the charger is connected, the handset may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.

1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the

charging/USB port and the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.

2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from

the interface connector port on the phone.

Note: Failure to unplug the wall charger 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, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.

You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a percentage value onscreen can provide a better idea of the remaining charge on the battery.

The next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts, any updates that contacts make to email account names, email addresses, and so on, automatically update in your contacts list.
