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.
Setting Up Your Phone
Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM
into their corresponding internal compartments. The
microSD™ card slot is also located in this same internal area.
1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into the
slot on the top of your phone (1).
2. Lift the cover up (2) and to the right of the phone.
Caution!
Do not bend or twist the back cover ex cessively. Doing
so may damage the cover.
Installing the SIM Card
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.
Getting Started 1
Important!
The plug-in SIM card information 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.
Carefully slide the SIM card in to the SIM card socket (as
shown) 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.
2
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone will not
detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot
if the SIM is not detected.
Installing the Battery
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).
Removing and Installing the Memory Card
You can use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC 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:
Yo ur phone has been tested to support up to a 64GB
memory card.
Installing the Memory Card
Push the microSD card all the way into the slot (as
shown).
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward
and the card is securely inserted.
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card”
on page 36.
Removing the Memory Card
1. Carefully slide the memory card out of the slot.
2. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.
Getting Started 3
Installing the Back Cover
1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)
and press down (2).
4
2. Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you
have a secure seal.
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.
Charging a Battery
You r device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger that is used to charge the batt ery is included
with your device. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers.
Note:
Yo u must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges
fully in approximately 4 hours.
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.
Using the Travel Charger
Important!
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to
connection. If the battery is not properly installed
and the wall 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 Power/
Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the
interface connector jack on the phone.
Getting Started 5
Warning!
My device
My device
The touch screen responds best to a light touch from
the pad of your finger. Using excessive force or a
metallic object when pressing on the touch screen
may damage the tempered glass surface and void the
warranty.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery can damage 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 device sounds a
warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phon e
conserves its remaining battery power by entering the
dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance
