Install the SIM or USIM card
When you subscribe to a cellular service, you will receive
a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, with subscription
details, such as your personal identification 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,
Open the cover to the SIM card slot.
1
Insert the SIM or USIM card with the gold-coloured
2
contacts facing down.
Close the cover of the SIM card slot.
3
Charge the battery
Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device for
the first time, you must charge the battery.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers. Unauthorised
chargers can cause batteries to explode or damage your
device.

Assembling
10
Charge the battery only with a charger. You cannot
●
charge the battery with the PC data cable.
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 and turn red.
If the battery level becomes too low, the device will
automatically power off. Recharge your battery to
continue using your device.
Connect the PC data cable to the USB power adapter
1
and then plug the end of the PC data cable into the
multifunction jack.
Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause
serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by
misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Assembling
11
Plug the USB power adapter into a power outlet.
2
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 and
●
the touch keys may not function due to an unstable
power supply. If this happens, unplug the USB power
adapter from the power outlet or unplug the PC data
cable from the device.
While charging, the device may heat up. This is
●
normal and should not affect 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 no
3
longer moving), unplug the USB power adapter and PC
data cable from the device and then from the power
outlet.
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.
