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.

Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries
to explode or damage your phone.

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

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
4
no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the
phone and then from the PC.
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
8 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.
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.

Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the side
