•
Battery•
Travel adapter (charger)•
Quick start guide•
Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or
illegal software may cause damage or malfunctions
that are not covered by your manufacturer's
warranty.
The items supplied with your device may vary•
depending on the software and accessories
available in your region or oered by your service
provider.
You can obtain additional accessories from your
•
local Samsung dealer.
The supplied accessories perform best for your
•
device.
Accessories other than the supplied ones may not
•
be compatible with your device.
Install the SIM or USIM card and
battery
When you subscribe to a cellular service, you will receive
a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, with subscription
details, such as your personal identication number (PIN)
and optional services. To use UMTS or HSDPA services,
you can purchase a Universal Subscriber Identity Module
(USIM) card.

Assembling
10
Insert the SIM or USIM card.
3
Place the SIM or USIM card into the device with•
the gold-coloured contacts facing down.
If you do not insert a SIM or USIM card, you can
•
only use your device’s non-network services and
some menus.
To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,
If the device is on, press and hold [
1
] and select
Power o to turn it o.

Charge the battery
Before using the device for the rst time, you must charge
the battery.
You can charge the device with the provided travel adapter
or by connecting the device to a PC with a PC data cable.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.
Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries
to explode or damage your device.
When your battery is low, the device will emit a
warning tone and display a low battery message.

Assembling
12
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
3
outlet.
You can use the device while it is charging, but it•
may take longer to fully charge the battery.
While the device is charging, the touch screen may
•
not function due to an unstable power supply. If
this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the
device.
While charging, the device may heat up. This
•
is normal and should not aect your device’s
lifespan or performance.
If your device is not charging properly, bring your
•
device and the charger to a Samsung Service
Centre.
Charge with the travel adapter
›
Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the top of
1
the device.
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
2
multifunction jack.
Improperly connecting the travel adapter can cause
serious damage to the device. Any damage caused
by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Assembling 13
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the PC data cable into the
2
multifunction jack.
Plug the other end of the PC data cable into a USB port
3
on a PC.
Depending on the type of PC data cable you are
using, it may take some time before charging
begins.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
4
no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the
device and then from the PC.
Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional multimedia les, you must insert
a memory card. Your device accepts microSD™or

of 32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and
type).
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
4
no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the
device and then from the power outlet.
Do not remove the battery before removing the
travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the
device.
To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not
in use. The travel adapter does not have a power
switch, so you must unplug the travel adapter from
the outlet to interrupt the power supply. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when
in use.

memory card may damage your device or the
memory card and can corrupt data stored on the
card.
Your device supports only the FAT le structure for•
memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with
a dierent le structure, your device will ask you to
reformat the memory card.
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten
•
