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.

Activating Your Phone

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.

Installing the SIM Card

Important!:

The plug-in SIM card and its contacts information 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.

1. If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key until the power-off image displays.

2. Slide the cover away from the phone, then carefully lift the battery cover up.

3. Lift the cover away from the phone.

Place your thumbnail in the notch at the top (1) and lift it up and out (2) (as shown).

5. Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket 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.

Note:

If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot.

Getting Started 6

Replacing the Battery

6. Slide the battery into the compartment so that the tabs on the end align with the slots at the bottom of the

phone. Be sure to line up the gold contacts.

7. Lightly press down on the battery until it snaps into place.

Replacing the Cover

8. Replace the cover by lining up the tabs and then sliding the cover down until it snaps into place.

9. Check that the battery is properly installed before turning on the phone.

Installing the Memory Card

Your phone supports an optional memory card (microSD™) for data storage of such things as music, pictures, video or other files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.

Note:

The Samsung t749 supports up to a 16 Gigabyte memory card.

1. To unlock the memory cover, use your thumb nail or another object to shift the edge of the memory card

cover to the Unlock position (as indicated) until you hear a slight clicking sound.

2. Gently lift the edge of the memory card cover up (as shown).

3. Place the microSD card into the slot (as shown). Ensure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and

the card is placed so that the indentations on the card face the same direction as those illustrated.

4. Close and lock the memory card cover:

•

(1) close the memory card cover using your thumb to push the cover down (as shown).

•

(2) slide the memory card cover back into the Lock position.

Getting Started 8

Removing the Memory Card

1. To unlock the memory cover, use your thumb nail or another object to shift the edge of the memory card cover

to the Unlock position (as indicated) until you hear a slight clicking sound.

2. Gently lift the edge of the memory card cover up.

3. Remove the memory card.

4. Close and lock the memory card cover.

Charging a Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with your phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.

You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but doing so requires additional charging time.

Note:

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

4 hours.

1. With the battery installed, temporarily remove the plastic cover on the right side of the phone and plug in the

wall charger’s connector into the jack.

Important!:

Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger. If the battery is not installed and the wall charger is connected, the handset power cycles continuously, preventing proper operation.

Correct

Incorrect

Note:

The previous illustration displays the incorrect method for connecting the charger. If attempted, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.

2. Plug the adapter’s power plug into a standard AC wall outlet.

3. When charging is finished, first unplug the adapter’s power plug from the AC wall outlet and then disconnect

the wall charger’s connector from the phone.

Note:

Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can cause the phone to become damaged.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain; a warning tone sounds and the “Low battery” message repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode.

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

Getting Started 10

Switching the Phone On or Off

1. Press and hold the key until the phone switches on.

2. If the phone asks you to enter the phone password, use the keypad to enter this password and touch

3. If the phone asks for a PIN, use the keypad to enter the PIN and touch
