Getting started
Installing the SIM card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional
services available and so on.
Important! The plug-in SIM card and its contacts
can be easily damaged by scratches
or bending, so be careful when
handling, inserting, or removing the
card.
Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of
small children.
1. If necessary, switch the phone off by holding
down the key until the power-off image
displays.
2. Remove the battery. To do so:
➀ Slide the battery lock towards the top of the
phone and hold it in that position.

shown, so that the card locks into position.
Make sure the metal contacts of the card face
into the phone.
Note : When you need to remove the SIM card,
slide it upward, as shown, and take it out of
the socket.

5. Press the battery down until it clicks into place.
Make sure that the battery is properly installed
before switching the power on.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. A travel adapter comes with your phone for
charging the battery. Use only approved batteries
and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for
further details.
The travel adapter allows you to use the phone
while the battery is charging, but this causes the
phone to charge more slowly.
Note : You must fully charge the battery before using
your phone for the first time. A discharged
battery recharges fully in approximately
200 minutes.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug
the connector of the travel adapter into the jack
at the bottom of the phone.
