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 may vary  
depending on the software and accessories available  
in your region or offered by your service provider.  
You can obtain 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

To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,  
If the device is on, press and hold [ ] and select Yes to  
turn it off.  
1
Remove the back cover.  
2
Be careful not to damage your fingernails when you  
remove the back cover.  
Insert the SIM or USIM card with the gold-coloured  
contacts facing down.  
3
If you do not insert a SIM or USIM card, you can only use  
your device’s non-network services and some menus.  
Assembling

5
Replace the back cover.  
Charge the battery  
Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the  
battery.  
You can charge the device with the provided travel adapter or  
by connecting the device to a PC with a PC data 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 and blinking. If the battery  
level becomes too low, the device will automatically  
power off. Recharge your battery to continue using your  
device.  
Assembling  
10  
 
Charge with the travel adapter  
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the  
multifunction jack.  
1
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  
outlet.  
2
You can use the phone 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 device’s lifespan or  
performance.  
If your device is not charging properly, bring your  
device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.  
Assembling  
11  
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no  
longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the device  
and then from the power outlet.  
3
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  
to interrupt the power supply. The travel adapter should  
remain close to the socket when in use.  
Charge with the PC data cable  
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.  
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the PC data cable into the  
multifunction jack.

longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the device  
and then from the PC.

Insert a memory card  
To store additional multimedia files, you must insert  
a memory card. Your device accepts microSD or  
microSDHC memory cards with maximum capacities of 16  
GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).  
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.  
Remove the back cover.

Do not remove a memory card while the device is  
transferring or accessing information, as this could  
result in loss of data or damage to the memory card or  
device.  
Format the memory card  
Formatting your memory card on a PC may cause  
incompatibilities with your device. Format the memory card  
only on the device.  
In Menu mode, select Settings Memory Memory card  
details Format Yes.  
Before formatting the memory card, remember to make  
backup copies of all important data stored on your  
device. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover loss  
of data resulting from user actions.
