Check your product box for the following items:
Mobile device
Battery
Quick start guide
Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or illegal
software may cause damage or malfunctions that are
not covered by your manufacturer's warranty.
The items supplied with your device and available
accessories may vary depending on your region or
service provider.
You can purchase additional accessories from your
local Samsung dealer.
The supplied accessories perform best for your device.
Accessories other than the supplied ones may not be
compatible with your device.
Install the SIM or USIM card and battery
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.
Assembling
11
To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,
If the device is on, press and hold the Power key and select
1
Power off
OK to turn it off.
Remove the back cover.

Insert the SIM or USIM card with the gold-coloured
3
contacts facing down.
Insert the battery.
4
Assembling
12
Replace the back cover.
5
Charge the battery
Before 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.
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. 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.
Assembling
13
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.
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
2
outlet.
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 may
not function due to an unstable power supply. If this
happens, unplug the travel adapter from the device.
While charging, the device may heat up. This is
normal and should not affect your devices lifespan or
performance.
If your device is not charging properly, bring your
device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.
Assembling
14
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel
3
adapter from the device and then from the power outlet.
Do not remove the battery before removing the travel
adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the device.
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
when not in use to avoid wasting power. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.
Charge with a USB cable
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the USB cable into the
1
multifunction jack.
Plug the other end of the USB cable into a USB port on a
2
PC.
Depending on the type of USB cable you are using, it
may take some time before charging begins.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB
3
cable from the device and then from the PC.
Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional multimedia files, you must insert
a memory card. Your device accepts microSD or
microSDHC memory cards with maximum capacities of
32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).
Assembling
15
Samsung uses approved industry standards for memory
cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible
with your device. Using an incompatible memory card
may damage your device or the memory card and can
corrupt data stored on the card.
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for
memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with
a different file structure, your device will ask you to
reformat the memory card.
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the
lifespan of memory cards.
When you insert a memory card in your device, the
file directory of the memory card will appear in the
external_sd folder.
Remove the back cover.

a distance of about 10 m without requiring a physical
connection.
You do not need to line up the devices to beam information
with Bluetooth. If the devices are within range of one another,
you can exchange information between them even if they are
located in different rooms.
Samsung is not responsible for the loss, interception,
or misuse of data sent or received via the Bluetooth
wireless feature.
Always ensure that you share and receive data with
devices that are trusted and properly secured. If there
are obstacles between the devices, the operating
distance may be reduced.
Some devices, especially those that are not tested
or approved by Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible
with your device.

Comply with all safety warnings and regulations
regarding mobile device usage while operating a
vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use
your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and
the safety of others, practice good common sense and remember the following
tips:
Use a hands-free device.
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and
redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive
calls on your mobile device.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device
without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at

Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend calls
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a to do list or
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from
the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case of
fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
a crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives are in danger, call a
local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number
when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured,
or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or another
special, non-emergency number.
