Installing the SIM and MicroSD Cards
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided
with a plugin SIM card loaded with your subscription details,
such as your PIN, available optional services, and many
others features. You can also install a MicroSD card (memory
card) to hold additional media (optional).
Important! The plugin 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.
1. Carefully slide the SIM card under the bottom metal
plate into the SIM card slot (as shown).
Caution! Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the
device and that the upper left angled corner of the
card is positioned as shown.
Note: If the card is not inserted correctly, the device will not
detect the SIM card. Orient the card back into the slot if
the SIM is not detected.

Charging the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger, which 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
device 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 device while the battery is
charging, doing so requires additional charging time.

Using the Travel Charger
To use the Travel Charger:
1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the
Power/Accessory Interface connector 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 device.
Note: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery can cause damage to the device.
Important! Verify that the battery is installed prior to
connection. If the battery is not properly installed
and the wall charger is connected, the device may
power off and on continuously, preventing proper
operation.
Warning! If your device 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 tempered glass surface and
void the warranty.

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
device 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 device
automatically turns off.

percentage value onscreen can provide a better idea of the
remaining charge on the battery.
