chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for
further details.

as shown.
Battery lock

13
Getting started
Note : Your phone has a built-in backup battery that
maintains data storage when the main battery
is removed. When fully charged, the backup
battery will maintain stored data for 1 hour. If
the main battery is removed from the phone
for more than 1 hour, your data which are not
backed up will be lost. For details about the
backup, see page 37.
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 many
others details.
• Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach
of small children.
• The SIM card and its contacts can be easily
damaged by scratches or bending, so be
careful when handling, inserting, or removing
the card.
• When you open the SIM card slot to install or
remove the SIM card, always make sure that
the phone’s power is switched off.
Inserting the SIM card
1. Open the phone and slide the card cover open.

Getting started
14
2. Insert and slide the SIM card under the two
holders, ensuring that the gold coloured
contacts of the card face down into the phone,
as shown.
3. Slide the cover closed.
Removing the SIM card
1. Open the phone and the card slot cover,
referring to step 1 in “Inserting the SIM card.”
2. Slide the card out of the holders.
Charging your phone
While charging your phone, the system sounds
the charging alert tone. Then the Charging icon
( ) displays on the status bar of the screen.
Using the travel charger
1. Plug the connector of the travel charger into
the bottom of the
phone . Check that the arrow
on the connector is facing up, as is the phone.

15
Getting started
2. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. The LED on the charger shows the status of the
battery being charged.
• Red: the battery is charging.
• Green: the battery is fully charged.
• Orange: the charger is not plugged in
correctly.
4. When charging is finished, unplug the charger
from the AC wall outlet and from the phone by
pressing the
PUSH button on the connector
and pulling the connector out.
Conserving battery power
You can conserve power by the following
methods:
• Switch the phone to Sleep mode when you
don’t use it. Slide the
Power key down for
approximately 1.5 seconds
to activate Sleep
mode.
• Turn off the backlight. Slide the
Power key
down and hold.
• Adjust the power settings and backlight
settings. For details, see page 16 and page
17.
• Close multiple applications running on your
phone. Multitasking will consume your battery
faster and can cause your phone’s system to
react slowly.
Note : Closing multimedia applications, such as
camera or Media player, allows your phone to
recover some of its battery.

Getting started
16
Low battery warning
Your phone displays the Battery Low icon ( )
and a warning message when the battery gets
low. If this happens, charge the battery using
the travel charger.
When the battery gets very low, the phone
turns off the backlight to reduce the power
consumption.
If the phone is nearly out of battery power, it
shows the “Main Battery Very Low” message. In
this case, you cannot perform a synchronisation
without connecting the phone to a power source
and the phone doesn’t give you any instructions
for saving data. Connect the charger to the
phone immediately.
Note : You must back up data in case of power cutoff.
For details, see page 37.
Adjusting the power settings
You can conserve battery power by adjusting
the
Power settings. During standby, the phone
goes to Sleep mode after a specified period of
time of inactivity, so very little power is being
consumed. This helps to preserve programmes
and data stored in the RAM.
A lower setting increases the usable battery
time. A higher setting decreases the usable
battery time and allocates it for standby usage.

17
Getting started

1. From the Start menu, tap Settings → System
tab
→ Power .
2. Select the power settings:
In the
Battery tab, you can check the
remaining amount of battery power.

functions on or off. You can also turn Bluetooth

In the
Advanced tab, you can set whether or
not the phone turns off the backlight after the
specific period of time when the phone is
inactive and the main battery is being used as
the power source, or when connected to an
external power.
In the
LCD Off tab, you can set the length of
time the display turns on after a call is
established. After the specified time, the
display turns off.
For details, see the online help.
3. Tap .
Using the backlight
You can turn off or on the backlight of the
screen and keypad to reduce the power
consumption. Simply sliding the Power key
