Section 1: Getting Started

This section describes how to start using your phone by activating your phone, inserting your SIM card and battery, and navigating from the
Home screen
.

Activating Your Phone

When you subscribe to a cellular network, a plug-in Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is provided loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN and other optional services.
Removing the Battery
If necessary, power-off the phone by pressing and holding the key (located at the top-right of your handset) until the power-off image displays.

1. Remove the battery cover by pressing the battery lock
down, lifting the cover up, and sliding the battery cover away, as shown.
2. Lift the battery from the bottom up and out of the phone.
Installing the SIM Card
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or bending. Use caution when inserting or removing the card and keep all SIM cards out of reach of children.
Make sure the gold contacts of the card face into the phone, then slide the SIM card into the socket.
Removing the SIM Card
To remove the SIM card, slide it away from the socket. See the
following illustration.
Installing the Battery
1. Align the battery tabs with the slots at the bottom of the
phone.
2. Press the battery down until it clicks into place. Make sure
that the battery is properly installed before switching on
the phone.
3. With the battery in position on the phone, slide the cover

Getting Started 5
Charging a Battery
Correct
+
Incorrect
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the travel adapter to charge the battery, and use only Samsung approved batteries and chargers.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Warning!:
For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must use an adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.
1. Plug the connector of the travel adapter into the jack on
the right side of the phone.
Note:
The following illustration shows the correct and incorrect method for connecting the charger. Verify the arrow on the adapter is showing and pointing to the handset for a correct connection. If it is not, damage to the accessory port occurs therefore voiding the phones warranty.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet. When
charging is finished, unplug the adapter from the power
outlet.
6
Warning!:
You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the phone during charging to avoid damage.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Main Battery very low” message repeats at regular intervals on the display and the battery icon displays. The backlight turns off to conserve the remaining battery power.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.

Powering On or Off the Phone

1. Press and hold the key until the phone power-on
screen displays. The phone is logged into your home
network and receives the signal from the network. You can now make or answer a call and use programs on the
phone.
