The supplied accessories perform best for your • device.

Accessories other than the supplied ones may not • be compatible with your device.

Install the SIM or USIM card and battery

When you subscribe to a cellular service, you will receive a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, with subscription details, such as your personal identication number (PIN) and optional services. To use UMTS or HSDPA services, you can purchase a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) card.

Charge the battery

Before using the device for the rst time, you must charge the battery.

You can charge the device with the provided travel adapter or by connecting the device to a PC with a PC data cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries to explode or damage your device.
