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 voicemail.
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.
If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down the key until the power-off image displays.
1. Remove the cover by pulling up on the slot (see diagram), then lift the cover up and off the phone.
5
2.
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.
Replacing the Batter y
3. Slide the battery back into the compartment so that the tabs on the end align with the slots at the bottom of
the phone.
4. Press the battery down until it snaps into place.
Getting Started 6
Replacing the Cover
5. Press down on the corners of the battery cover until you hear a click. Verify that the battery cover is secured.
6. Check that the battery is properly installed before turning on the phone.
Installing or Removing the Memory Card

video or other files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.
Note:
This phone supports up to a 16 Gigabyte memory card.
2. Remove the cover by pulling up on the slot (see diagram), then lift the cover up and off the phone.

the indentations on the card face the same direction as those illustrated.
4. Push the memory card with your thumb a second time to eject it from the slot.
5. Replace the cover by pressing down on the corners of the battery cover until you hear a click. Verify that the
battery cover is secured.
Getting Started 8
Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A travel adapter, 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
travel adapter’s connector into the jack.
Important!:
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connecting the travel adapter. If the battery is not installed and the travel
adapter is connected the handset continuously power cycles and prevents proper operation.
2. Plug the adapter’s power plug into a standard AC wall outlet.
9
Note:
Incorrect
Correct
The previous illustration displays the correct and incorrect method for connecting the charger. If the charger is inserted
incorrectly, damage to the accessory port occurs therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter’s power plug from the AC wall outlet and then disconnect the
travel adapter’s connector from the phone.
4. Resecure the plastic cover over the interface jack on the phone.
Warning!:
Failure to unplug the travel adapter before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain; a warning tone sounds and the “Battery low”
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
