performance.

Special Regulations

Follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your phone
off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger
(in a hospital, for example).

Sensible Use

Use the phone in the intended position (held to the ear). If your phone has an
external antenna, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when the phone is
on.

Important Safety Precautions 2

r540_UG.book Page 3 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:58 AM

Getting Started

Installing and Charging the Battery

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery. It allows you to
recharge your battery before it is fully drained. When the battery is weak and only a
few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and a message repeats at
regular intervals on the display. If this happens, the display dims to conserve the
remaining battery power. When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before
it runs out of power. You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but this
causes the phone to charge more slowly.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibration mode, playing games,
camera and browser usage affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Important: The battery must be fully charged before you use the phone for the first
time; otherwise, you could damage the battery.

Important: Using a non-supported battery may cause damage to your phone.
When using a non-supported battery, you cannot recharge it. The handset can be
used only for the duration of the factory battery charge, if any.

Installing the Battery

Slide the battery cover down and lift up to remove it.

1.

3 Getting Started

r540_UG.book Page 4 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:58 AM

2. Insert the top end of the battery into the phone housing with the label

with those on the phone.

3. Push the top end of the battery down until it snaps into place.

4. Replace the battery cover.

1.

messages.

2. Remove the back cover.

3. Use your finger to lift the battery (top end first) up and away from the

phone.

Getting Started

Charging the Battery with the Travel Adapter

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-ion battery. Use Samsung­approved charging devices and batteries. The icon indicates that the battery
is full. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the
phone sounds a warning tone.

Getting Started 4

Correct

Incorrect

r540_UG.book Page 5 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:58 AM

Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and
void the warranty.

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or

messages.

2. Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a standard 120/220V AC

wall outlet.

3. Insert the end of the adapter into the charger/ accessory connector at

the side of the phone.

Turning Your Phone On and Off

1. Open the phone.

2. To turn your phone on, press and hold the End key until the phone

switches on. Once your phone is on, it displays “Looking for Service”.
When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters Idle mode. At
this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching,
the phone enters Power Save mode and periodically searches for a
signal. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to Idle
mode.

3. To turn your phone off, press and hold the End key until you see

the powering down animation on the display screen.

Memory Card

Your phone allows you to use a Micro SD (Secure Digital) memory card (up to
8GB) and an adapter to expand the phone’s available memory space. This digital
card makes it easy to exchange images, music, and voice data quickly between SD­compatible devices.

Note: Before you can copy files to a memory card from your PC, you must first
insert it into the phone. The phone will format the card for you and create the
necessary file folders. The card is formatted with a FAT32 file system that can be
read by most computers.

Inserting the Micro SD Memory Card

To insert the Micro SD memory card into your phone:

1. Open the memory card access panel located on the bottom left side of

the phone.

2. Position the Micro SD memory card in line with the opening and gently

slide it into place until it is fully inserted and locked.

Note: Be sure to use only recommended memory cards (up to 8GB). Using non­recommended memory cards could cause data loss or damage your phone.

Note: Make sure your battery is fully charged before using the Micro SD memory
card. Your data may become damaged or unusable if the battery runs out while
reading or writing to the card.

Removing the Micro SD Memory Card

To remove the Micro SD memory card from your phone:

1. Open the memory card access panel located on the bottom left side of

the phone.

15 Your Phone

r540_UG.book Page 16 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:58 AM

2. Eject the card by pushing in and then releasing.

3. Pull the memory card out of the phone.

Warning! DO NOT remove a memory card while files are being accessed or
transferred. It could result in loss or damage of data.

Note: If you remove your memory card, the location to save images will
automatically default back to the Phone.

Using a Micro SD Adapter

You can also purchase a Micro SD memory adapter, which allows Micro SD
memory cards to be used in SD-compatible devices. Before using with a reader,
you will need to insert the Micro SD memory card into the Micro SD memory
adapter.

• With the label side of the Micro SD memory card facing up, insert the card

into the Micro SD memory adapter and gently slide the card until it is fully
inserted.

To remove the Micro SD memory card from the memory adapter:

• Hold the front edge of the Micro SD memory card and gently pull outward to

remove it from the adapter.
