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

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.
From a Home screen, touch
