SIM Card

Your device 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.

If you purchased your device at a US Cellular store, the SIM card is activated and ready to use. If you ordered a new device, the card may need to be activated before you can use it.

Caution!

Turn the device 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 logo facing up, carefully insert the 4G LTE SIM

Card into the slot, pressing gently until it locks into place.

3. Install the back cover.

Removing the 4G LTE SIM Card

Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) is included with the device, for charging the battery.

The battery comes partially charged. You must fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time. After the first charge, you can use the device while charging.

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.

Battery Indicator

The battery icon in the Status Bar shows battery power level. Before the battery becomes too low to operate, the battery icon flashes and a tone plays. If you continue using the device without charging, the device will power off.

Tip:

Task Manager provides helpful information about extending battery life. For more information, see “Task Manager” on page 17.

Installing and Removing the Battery

Installing the battery

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Insert the battery into the device, aligning the gold

contacts on the battery with the gold contacts in the device.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Getting Started 10

Page 16

Removing the Battery

Caution!

Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove

the battery, can cause damage to the phone.

2. Lift the battery up and out of the device, using the slot

provided.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Charging the Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The USB 3.0 cable that is used to charge the battery, is included with your device. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, web browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

Note:

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

Page 17

2. Connect the USB 3.0 cable to the charging head, then

plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.

3. When charging is complete, unplug the charging head

from the power outlet and remove the USB cable from the device.

4. If you are using the older style USB 2.0 cable to charge

the battery, plug the flat end of the cable into the port on the right side as shown.

Important!

You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.

Getting Started 12

Page 18

Warning!

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a 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. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 256.

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 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 device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

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

Memory Card

Your device supports optional, removable, microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory cards of up to 64GB capacity (not included), for storage of music, pictures, and other files.
