Getting Started 6 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.
7 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 1.

Charging a Batter y Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The USB 3.0 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!

If you are using the older style USB 2.0 Travel Charger to charge your battery, plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the port on the right side as shown below. Note: Connecting the charger impr operly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty. Note: Failure to unplug the wall ch arger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.
