Assemble Your Device

Prior to use, install the SIMcard
and optional memory card
(not included), and charge the
battery.

Install the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card. During activation,
your SIM card will be loaded with your subscription
details, such as your PIN, available optional
services, and other features.

Warning: 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.

Install a Memory Card

You can install an optional microSD or microSDHC
memory card (not included) to expand available
memory space.

Note: A memory card can be installed at any time; it
is not necessary to install it prior to using the device.

For more information on installing a memory card,
see Install a Memory Card.

Charge the 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 from any standard outlet.

The battery comes partially charged. A fully
discharged battery requires up to four hours of
charge time. You can use the device while charging.

► Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card

slot until the card locks into place.

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into
the device and that the upper-left angled corner
of the card is positioned as shown.

Caution: If the card is not inserted correctly, the
device will not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the
card and place it back into the slot if the SIM is
notdetected.

Caution: 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.

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head,
and then plug the charging head into a standard
outlet.

Assemble Your Device

3. When charging is complete, unplug the charging
head from the outlet and remove the USB cable
from the device.

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes
of operation remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks
and the device sounds a warning tone at regular
intervals.

In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power by dimming the screen.

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

Caution: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.

► For a quick check of your battery level, view the

battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your device’s display. A solid
color (

) indicates a full charge.

You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Viewing a percentage value can provide
a better idea of the remaining charge on the
battery. For more information, see Battery.
