Install the SIM Card
For more information on installing a memory card,
see Install a Memory Card.
You can install an optional microSD or microSDHC
memory card (not included) to expand available

your SIM card will be loaded with your subscription
details, such as your PIN, available optional
services, and other features.
Charge the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard
Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (charging head
and USB cable) is included with the device for
charging the battery from any standard outlet.
Warning: The plug-in SIM card information 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.
The battery comes partially charged. A fully
discharged battery requires up to four hours of
charge time. You can use the device while charging.
Caution: Use only Samsung-approved charging
devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are
designed to maximize battery life. Using other
accessories may invalidate your warranty and may
cause damage.
► Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card
slot until the card locks into place.
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into
the device and that the upper-left angled corner
of the card is positioned as shown.
1. Insert the USB cable into the port.
2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head,
and then plug the charging head into a standard
outlet.
Caution: If the card is not inserted correctly, the
device will not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the
card and place it back into the slot if the SIM is
not detected.

Assemble Your Device
When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes
of operation remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks
and the device sounds a warning tone at regular
intervals.
In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power by dimming the screen.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the charging
head from the outlet and remove the USB cable
from the device.
When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.
Caution: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.
► For a quick check of your battery level, view the
battery charge indicator located in the upperright corner of your device’s display. A solid
color ( ) indicates a full charge.
You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Viewing a percentage value can provide
a better idea of the remaining charge on the
battery. For more information, see Battery.
