Back ViewGetting Started

Assemble Your Device

Prior to use, it is necessary to
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 many 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.

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.

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.

► 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.

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.

Your device comes with a charger (charging head
and USB cable) to charge your device from any
110/220 VAC outlet.

4

Assemble Your DeviceGetting Started

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

When to Charge the Battery

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 device conserves its
remaining battery power, not by turning off the back
light, but by entering the dimming mode.

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

2. Connect the USB 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.

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, glance at

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

) indicates a full charge.

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