Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to get started with your device by charging the battery, installing the micro SIM card and
optional memory card.
Before using your device for the first time, you’ll need to charge the battery and install the micro SIM card. The
micro SIM card is loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, available optional services, and many
other features. If desired, you can also install an SD card to store media for use with your device.

Understanding this User Manual

Installing and Removing the SIM card
This device uses a different type of SIM card called a “micro SIM”. Other larger SIM cards will not function or fit
within this slot.

SIM Card Overview
Important! Before removing or replacing the micro SIM card, make sure the device is switched off. To turn the
device off, hold down the
key until the Device options pop up displays, then tap Power off.

The sections of this manual generally follow the features of your device.
This manual provides navigation instructions according to the default display settings. If you select other settings,
navigation may be different.

The micro SIM card is loaded with your subscription details such as your telephone number, PIN, available optional
services, and many other features.

Unless otherwise specified, all instructions in this manual assume you are starting from the Home screen and
using the available keys. To get to a Home screen, you may need to unlock the device.

Important! The micro SIM card and its information 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.

the software version on your device, and any changes to the device’s Settings.

screen. All screen images in this manual are simulated. Actual displays may vary, depending on the
software version of your device and any changes to the device’s Settings.

Note: If the charger is incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the
device’s warranty.

Extending Your Battery Life

Initial Device Configuration

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is
a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
● Reduce the time your backlight stays on.

1. Select a language from the associated field. English is the default language.
Note: If you are visually impaired or have difficulty hearing, tap Accessibility to configure the accessibility
settings.

● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
2. Tap Start and follow the on‑screen setup instructions.

● Turn Wi‑Fi off when not in use.
● Deactivate your GPS functionality when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically
query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

Note: You may be prompted with a notification that your activation is completed. Enabling Google location
services can drain battery power.

● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process
of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

For more information, refer to “Creating a Samsung Account” on page 18.

● Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions.

Note: Read the on-screen Dropbox set up and registration information regarding new services.

● Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery
resources.
● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
● Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These
minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.
● Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a
non‑animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.

Switching the Device On or Off
Once the device has been configured, you will not be prompted with setup screens again.
To turn the device on:
► Press and hold

Power/End until the device switches on.

The device searches for your network and after finding it, you can make or receive calls.
Note: Your device’s internal antenna is located along the top back of the device. Do not block the antenna;
doing so may affect signal quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than is
necessary.

3. Enter a unique device name.
Important! The device name is also used to provide an identification for your device’s Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi Direct names.
4. Read the on‑screen Collect diagnostics information.
Note: This software collects only diagnostic data from your device so that customer service technicians can
better troubleshoot issues with your device.
5. Select either More info... (to read additional information) or Close to close the message screen.
Important! Selecting Close only closes the current description screen and does not disable data collection.

Setting an Unlock Pattern

What If I Forget my Pattern?

Creating a screen unlock pattern increases security on the phone. When you enable the User visible pattern field,
you will draw an unlock pattern on the screen whenever you want to unlock the phone’s buttons or touch screen.
When you activate the User tactile feedback field, you feel vibration as feedback while drawing the pattern.

If you forget your device’s lock pattern, you can unlock your device or reset it using your Google™ Account
credentials. When you enter the wrong unlock pattern too many times, you should see an option at the bottom of
the screen that says Forgot pattern? Follow these steps to use either your PIN or email address.

The feature is now paired with a backup PIN code that acts as a backup to the pattern lock. If you forget your
pattern, you can regain access to the device by entering a PIN code.

from the screen and tap Continue.
