Do not remove the protective tape covering the antenna, as this can damage the antenna.The SIM card slot of your device is only suited for  ●standard SIM cards. Inserting a microSIM card or a microSIM card with an unauthorised holder may cause damage to the SIM card slot of your device.
Assembling12Insert the battery.4 Replace the back cover.5 Charge the batteryBefore using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery.You can charge the device with a travel adapter or by connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries to explode or damage your device.
Assembling13When your battery is low, the device will emit a  ●warning tone and display a low battery message. The battery icon   will also be empty. If the battery level becomes too low, the device will automatically power off. Recharge your battery to continue using your device.If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot  ●turn on the device, even with the travel adapter connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before you try to turn on the device.Charge with a travel adapter ›Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the 1 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.
