This section explains how to start using your device by activating your service, setting up your voice mail, or getting an understanding of how this manual is put together.

Section 1: Getting Started 7

Understanding this User Manual

The chapters of this guide generally follow the same order as the menus and sub-menus in your device. A robust index for quick reference to most features begins on page 172.

Also included is important safety information that you should know before using your device. Most of this information is near the back of the guide, beginning on page 150.

Notes and tips

Throughout this guide are icons and text that are set apart from the rest. These are intended to point out important information, quick methods for activating features, to define terms, and more. The definitions for these methods are as follows:

• Notes: Explain alternative options within the current feature, menu, or sub menu.

• Tips: Provide quick or innovative methods for performing functions related to the subject at

hand.

• Fast Facts: Are like snippets from a glossary. Fast facts provide definitions in context and

proximity to the menu or feature in question.

• Important: Points out important information about the current feature that could affect

performance, or even damage your device.

Activating Your Device

Contact your Wireless Carrier and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your device supports.

Install the Battery

Note: Your device comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery and travel adapter.

Important: Y ou must fully charge the battery the first time you use your device, otherwise you could damage the battery.

You can use your device while the battery is charging, but the battery will take longer to recharge.

1. Slide the battery into the compartment so that the

tabs on the end align with the slots at the top of the phone.(1) Press the battery down until it clicks into place.(2)

Activating Your Device

2. Replace the battery cover (1) and slide it toward

the bottom of the phone (2) until the cover clicks into place.

3. Make sure that the battery is properly installed

before switching on the phone.

Turn Your Device On

1. Open the slide on your device.

2. Press and hold the key for two or more seconds.

Note: As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the antenna (located at the top of the battery

compartment) while using your device as this can affect call quality and can cause the device to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.

3. The device begins searching for a network signal.

4. Once the device finds a signal, the current time displays on the upper, right side of

the icon bar.

5. You’re now ready to place and receive calls.

Note: If you are outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area, the No Service icon ( ) appears at the top of the

device’s display. If you cannot place or receive calls, try later when service is available, or at another location.

Turn Your Device Off

䡲 Press and hold the key for two or more seconds. Your device powers off.

Note: If your device is on and you press for less than one second, the device will not power off. This prevents your device from being turned off accidentally.

Remove the Battery

charging to avoid damage.

If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key until the power turns off.

1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Carefully lift the battery cover away from the

bottom of the phone.

Charging the Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery. Only use 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. Use the Travel Adapter

The travel adapter included with your device is a convenient, light-weight charger that rapidly charges your device from any 120/220 VAC outlet.

1. Plug the large end of the Travel Adapter into a

standard 120 VAC or 220 VAC wall outlet.

Note: For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your device and void your warranty.

2. Insert the smaller end of the Travel Adapter into the charger/accessory connector at

the lower right side of your device.

Note: The following illustration shows the correct and incorrect method for connecting the charger. Verify the arrow on the adapter is showing and pointing to the device for a correct connection. If it is not, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the device’s warranty.

Incorrect
