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.
To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,
If the device is on, press and hold the Power/Lock key

and select Power o
→
OK to turn it o.

Assembling
14
Charge the battery
Before using the device for the rst time, you must charge
the battery.
You can charge the device with a 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. If the battery
level becomes too low, the device will automatically
power o. Recharge your battery to continue using
your device.
Charge with the travel adapter
›
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
1
multifunction jack.

Assembling 15
Connecting the travel adapter improperly may 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
2
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.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
3
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.

Assembling
16
Charging a completely discharged battery 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 XXXX mAh.
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.
Charge with the PC data cable
›
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the PC data cable into the
1
multifunction jack.
Plug the other end of the PC data cable into a USB port
2
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
3
no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the
device and then from the PC.

Assembling 17
Reduce the battery consumption
›
If you activate auto-syncing, the Bluetooth feature, or the
WLAN feature in the background, the battery will drain faster.
To use the battery longer, close unnecessary applications.
You can also decrease the backlight time and the brightness
of the display, or switch to Sleep mode by pressing the
Power/Lock key when you are not using your device.
Insert a memory card
To store additional multimedia les, you must insert
a memory card. Your device accepts microSD™or
microSDHC™memory cards with maximum capacities of
xx 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 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.
When you insert a memory card in your device,
•
the le directory of the memory card will appear in
the /mnt/sdcard folder under the internal memory
(iNAND™).
