Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your
Samsung Acclaim™ phone by activating your service, setting up
your Voicemail, or getting an understanding of how this manual is
put together.
Understanding this User Manual
The sections of this manual are organized according to what you
are likely to want to do with your Acclaim phone, such as,
messaging, setting up and using a list of phone numbers
(Contacts), or taking pictures and recording videos. A robust
index for quick reference to most features is also provided,
begining on page 109.
Also included is important safety information that you should
know before using your phone. Most of this information is near
the back of the guide, beginning on page 80.
Notes and Tips
Throughout this manual some text is set apart from the rest. In
this way, important information, quick methods for activating
features or applications, to define terms, and more are
emphasized. The definitions for these methods are as follows:
• Notes : Explain alternative options within the current feature, menu, or
sub-menu.
• Tips : Provide quick or innovative methods for performing functions
related to the subject at hand.
• Important : Points out information about the current feature that could
affect its performance, or even the performance of your phone.
• Caution : Alerts you to actions or conditions that can hamper your
phone’s operation or damage data or files stored on your phone.
• Warning : Alerts you to actions or conditions that can damage your
phone or it’s accessories, causing them not to function.
Text Conventions
This manual provides condensed information about how to use
your phone. To make this possible, the following terms and icon
appear in place of repeatedly-used procedural steps:
select Touch a widget, icon, or menu option to launch,
access, or save a particular application, menu, or
screen field of interest.
➔ Used in place of “select” in long “drill down”
procedure steps.
Example: “... Settings ➔ Calls Settings ➔ Auto Answer ...”

Getting Started 5
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery.
Only use Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries.
Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Use
of other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may
cause damage.
Use the Travel Adapter
The travel adapter
included with your
phone is a convenient,
light-weight charger
that rapidly charges
your phone from any
120/220 VAC outlet.
1. Plug the Travel
Adapter into a
standard 120
VAC or 220 VAC
wall outlet.
Important!: For connection to an electrical supply not located in North
America, you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for
the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your
phone and void your warranty.
2. If needed, install the battery in the phone. (For more
information, refer to “Install the Battery” .)
3. Insert the smaller end of the Travel Adapter into the
charger/accessory connector on the upper right side of
your phone.
Warning!: Your 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 (see “Warranty Information” on
page 101).
Important!: You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from
the phone during charging to avoid damage.

phone will shut down.
Activating Your Phone
Contact your Wireless Carrier and follow their instructions for
obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this
guide to fully understand the services your phone supports.

standard Li-Ion battery and travel adapter.

phone, otherwise you could damage the battery. From fully

charge time.
