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 UIM card and
battery
When you subscribe to a cellular service, you will receive
a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card for a GSM
network or User Identity Module (UIM) card for a CDMA
network, with subscription details, such as your personal
identication number (PIN) and optional services.

Assembling
10
Insert the SIM or UIM card.

Your phone has two SIM card slots to allow you to use
two SIM or UIM cards, and switch between them. Use
the right slot for the SIM or UIM card. Use the left slot
for the UIM card only.
Place the SIM or UIM card into the device with the•
gold-coloured contacts facing down.
If you do not insert a SIM or UIM card, you can only
•
use your device’s non-network services and some
menus.
To install the SIM or UIM card and battery,
If the device is on, press and hold [
1
] and select Power
o to turn it o.
Remove the back cover.

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.
The battery icon will also be empty and turn red.
If the battery level becomes too low, the device will
automatically power o. Recharge your battery to

Improperly connecting the travel adapter can cause
serious damage to the device. Any damage caused
by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
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 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.

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
microSDHC™ memory cards with maximum capacities
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.
When you charge the battery for the rst time, charging
your battery completely may take about X hours. Because
the battery is a consumable part, the battery will gradually
wear out and the charging time will be reduced. The initial
charging capacity of your battery is about XXX mAh.

›
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.

Samsung uses approved industry standards for
memory cards, but some brands may not be fully
compatible with your device. Using an incompatible
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
•
the lifespan of memory cards.

the /sdcard/sd folder under the internal memory
(moviNAND™).
