Activating Your Phone
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.
Installing the SIM Card
Important!The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful
when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
If necessary, switch off the phone by pressing and holding the key until the power-off image
displays.

2. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket so that the card locks into place. Make sure the
gold contacts of the card are face down.
Note: When you need to remove the SIM card, slide it, as shown, and take it out of the socket.
3. Replace the battery. Place the three tabs into the three holes located on the back of the phone
(1). Press the battery into place (2).
Make sure that the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.
Charging a 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.
You can 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.

from the phone by pressing the buttons on both sides of the connector (1) and pulling the
connector out (2).

“Warning low battery” message repeats at regular intervals on the display. When this happens, your
phone turns off the backlight to conserve the remaining battery power.
