User manual•
Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or

that are not covered by your manufacturer's
warranty.
The items supplied with your phone 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
•
phone.
Accessories other than the supplied ones may not

and optional services. To use UMTS services, you can
purchase a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM)
card.

Assembling 9
Insert the SIM or USIM card.
3
Place the SIM or USIM card into the phone with•
the gold-coloured contacts facing down.
If you do not insert a SIM or USIM card, you can

Charge the battery
Before using the phone for the rst time, you must charge
the battery.
You can charge the phone with the provided travel adapter
or by connecting the phone 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 phone.
When your battery is low, the phone will emit a
warning tone and display a low battery message.
The battery icon will also be empty and blinking.
If the battery level becomes too low, the phone will
automatically power o. Recharge your battery to
continue using your phone.
Replace the back cover and turn the screw clockwise
5
to lock the cover.
Ensure the cover is completely closed and the screw
is tightly fastened to avoid water damage.

Assembling 11
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
3
outlet.
You can use the phone while it is charging, but it•
may take longer to fully charge the battery.
While charging, the phone may heat up. This
•
is normal and should not aect your phone’s
lifespan or performance.
If your phone is not working properly, bring your
•
phone and the charger to a Samsung Service
Centre.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
4
no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the
phone and then from the power outlet.
Do not remove the battery before removing the
travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the
phone.

Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional multimedia les, you must insert
a memory card. Your phone accepts microSD™or
microSDHC™memory cards with maximum capacities
of 16 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and
type).
Samsung uses approved industry standards for
memory cards, but some brands may not be fully
compatible with your phone. Using an incompatible
memory card may damage your phone or the
memory card and can corrupt data stored on the
card.
Your phone supports only the FAT le structure for•
memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with
a dierent le structure, your phone will ask you to
reformat the memory card.
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten
•
the lifespan of memory cards.
›
Charge with the PC data cable
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the side
1
of the phone.
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the PC data cable into the
2

Connect the other end of the PC data cable into a USB
3
port on a PC.
Depending on the type of PC data cable you are
using, it may take some time before charging
begins.

4
no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the
phone and then from the PC.

then remove the cover.
Gently push the memory card into the slot until it
3

memory card slot.
Do not remove a memory card while the phone is
transferring or accessing information, as this could
result in loss of data or damage to the memory card
or phone.
