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 voice mail.
Setting Up Your Phone
Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM 
into their corresponding internal compartments. The 
microSD™ card slot is also located in this same internal 
area.
1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into 
the slot on the top of your phone (1).  2.
Lift the cover up (2) and to  the right of the phone. 
Caution! Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. 
Doing so may damage the cover.
Installing the SIM Card
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.

Important! The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts 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.
  Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket 
(as shown) 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 will not 
detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot 
if the SIM is not detected.
Installing the Batter y

phone, making sure the connectors align (1).

Removing and Installing the Memor y 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 Memor y Card
  Push the microSD card into  the slot until it clicks (as 
shown). 
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and 
the card is securely inserted.
For more information on Memory Cards, see  “Memory Card” 
on page 52.

and press down (2). 2.
Press 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.
Charging a Batter y
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.  
						

							Getting Started       10
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 Power/
Accessory Interface connecto r and the other end into a 
standard AC wall outlet.
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from 
the interface connector jack on the phone.

Warning! If your handset has a touch screen display, 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 te mpered glass surface and 
void the warranty. For more information, refer to 
“Standard Limited Warranty”   on page 232.
Note: Failure to unplug the wall char ger before you remove the 
battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Low Batter y 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.
Switching the Phone On or Off

on.
