Quick start guide
●
Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or illegal
software may cause damage or malfunctions that are
not covered by your manufacturer's warranty.
The items supplied with your device and available
●
accessories may vary depending on your region or
service provider.
You can purchase additional accessories from your
●
local Samsung dealer.
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 identification number (PIN) and
optional services. To use UMTS or HSDPA services, you can
purchase a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) card.
Assembling
10
To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,
If the device is on, press and hold [
1
] and select Ye s to
turn it off.
Remove the back cover.
2
Be careful not to damage your fingernails when you
remove the back cover.
Insert the SIM or USIM card with the gold-coloured
3
contacts facing down.
The antenna is located in the upper area on the back of
the device. Do not remove the protective tape covering
the antenna, as this can damage the antenna.
If you do not insert a SIM or USIM card, you can only use
your device’s non-network services and some menus.
Assembling
11
Insert the battery.
4
Replace the back cover.
5
Charge the battery
Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the
battery.
You can charge the device with a travel adapter or by
connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.
Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries to
explode or damage your device.
Assembling

When your battery is low, the device will emit a
●
warning tone and display a low battery message.
The battery icon
will also be empty and blinking.
If the battery level becomes too low, the device will
automatically power off. Recharge your battery to
continue using your device.
If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot
●
turn on the device, even with the travel adapter
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a
few minutes before you try to turn on the device.
Charge with a travel adapter
›

Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause
serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by
misuse is not covered by the warranty.
Assembling
13
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
2
outlet.
You can use the phone while it is charging, but it may
●
take longer to fully charge the battery.
While the device is charging, the touch screen may
●
not function due to an unstable power supply. If this
happens, unplug the travel adapter from the device.
While charging, the device may heat up. This is
●
normal and should not affect your device’s lifespan or
performance.
If your device is not charging properly, bring your
●
device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel
3
adapter from the device and then from the power outlet.
Do not remove the battery before removing the travel
adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the device.
To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not in
use. The travel adapter does not have a power switch,
so you must unplug the travel adapter from the outlet
when not in use to avoid wasting power. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.
Assembling

Charge with a USB cable
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the USB cable into the
1

PC.
Depending on the type of USB cable you are using, it
may take some time before charging begins.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB
3
cable from the device and then from the PC.
Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional multimedia files, you must insert
a memory card. Your device accepts microSD
™
or
microSDHC
™
memory cards with maximum capacities of
32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).
Samsung uses approved industry standards for memory
cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible
with your device. Using an incompatible memory card
may damage your device or the memory card and can
corrupt data stored on the card.
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for
●
memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with
a different file structure, your device will ask you to
reformat the memory card.
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the
●
lifespan of memory cards.
