Setting Up Your Phone

Install the 4G LTE SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card,
battery, and optional memory card; then charge the battery
to begin using your phone.

Tip:

Your SIM card is pre-installed. For more information, refer
to “SIM Card” on page 9.

Note:

A memory card is not included with your phone. Memory
cards are sold separately.

8

Back Cover

The battery, SIM card, and optional memory card are
installed under a removable cover on the back of the device.

Removing the battery cover



Pull up using the slot provided (1), while lifting the
cover off the phone (2).

Note:

The battery cover is flexible. Take care to avoid bending
or twisting the cover when removing and installing, to
prevent damage to the cover.

SIM Card

Your phone uses a 4G LTE SIM (Subscriber Identity Module).
The 4G LTE SIM is a small, rectangular plastic card that
stores your phone number, information about your wireless
service, and other information such as messages.

The SIM card is installed under the back cover, and must
remain in the device when in use.

Note:

If you purchased your phone at a Verizon Wireless store,
the SIM card is activated and ready to use. If you
ordered a new phone, the card may need to be activated
before you can use it. For more information about
activating the SIM card, visit:

www.verizonwireless.com/4GSIM

Caution!

Turn the phone off before installing or removing the
SIM card. Do not bend or scratch the SIM card. Take
care when handling, installing, or removing the SIM
card, and avoid exposing the SIM card to static
electricity, water, or dirt. Keep the SIM card out of
reach of small children.

.

Installing the 4G LTE SIM Card

1. With the Verizon Wireless logo facing up, carefully

insert the 4G LTE SIM Card into the slot, pressing gently
until it locks into place.

2. 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 will not
detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot
if the SIM is not detected.

Getting Started 9

Installing the Battery

Important!

The battery provided with your device contains a
Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna. To
ensure proper operation of the NFC features, do
not use any other battery in your device.

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the

phone, making sure the connectors align (1).

2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

10

Removing and Installing the Memory Card

You can use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC card to expand
available memory space if you desire. This secure digital
card enables you to exchange images, music, and data
between SD-compatible devices. This type of memory card
is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.

Note:

Your phone has been tested to support up to a 64GB
memory card.

Installing the Memory Card



With the gold contacts facing down, slide the memory
card into the slot and gently push it into place.

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card”
on page 35.

Removing the Memory Card



Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.

Installing the Back Cover

1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)

and press down (2).

Getting Started 11

2. Press down along the edge of the back cover (3) until

you have a secure seal.

Note:

Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.

12

Charging a Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger that is used to charge the battery, is included
with your device. 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.

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, web browser use, and other variables may
reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

Although you can use the phone while the battery is
charging, doing so will require additional charging time.

Using the Travel Charger

Important!

Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to
connection. If the battery is not properly installed
and the wall charger is connected, the handset
may power off and on continuously, preventing
proper operation.

1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the

charging/USB port and the other end into a standard
AC wall outlet.

2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from

the interface connector port on the phone.

Warning!

Please note that a touch screen responds best to a
light touch from the pad of your finger. Using
excessive force or a metallic object when pressing
on the touch screen may damage the tempered
glass surface and void the warranty. For more
information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on
page 199.

Note:

Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause damage to the phone.

Getting Started 13

Low Battery Indicator

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
phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning
off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a
quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery
charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your
device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

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

You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a
percentage value on-screen can provide a better idea of the
remaining charge on the battery.

Section 3: Contacts and Accounts

This section explains how to manage contacts and accounts.

Accounts

Your device provides the ability to synchronize information,
from a variety of accounts, including Email, Facebook,
Google, and your Samsung account. Depending on the
account, you can choose to synchronize your calendar,
contacts, and other types of content.

Contacts from your accounts appear in your device’s
Contacts.

With synchronization, you can ensure that information on
your device is updated with any information that changes in
your accounts.

Setting Up Your Accounts

Set up and manage your accounts with the Accounts
settings.

For information about setting up other, non-synchronized
email accounts, see “Creating an Email Account” on

Linking Contacts

Linking Contact Information

Your device can synchronize with multiple accounts,
including Google, Corporate, and other providers, plus social
networking sites like Facebook. When you synchronize
contacts from these accounts with your device, you may
have multiple contacts for one person.

Linking contact records allows you to see all the contact’s
numbers and addresses together. Linking also helps you
keep your contacts updated because any changes to
information in the respective accounts is automatically
updated the next time you synchronize with the account.

The next time you synchronize your phone with your
accounts, any updates that contacts make to email account
names, email addresses, and so on, automatically update in
your contacts list.

For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 44.
