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.

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.

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

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.
Installing the Memory Card

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
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.

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.
