Set Up Your Device
Learn how to set up your device for the first time.
Assemble Your Device
Note: Your phone’s SIM card is preinstalled. These
instructions are for reference only.
This section helps you to assemble your device.
Caution: Exercise care when using the removal tool to
eject the internal SIM card/Memory card tray.
Install the SIM Card and a
Memory Card
1. Insert the removal tool into the hole on the
SIM card/Memory card tray, and then push until the
tray pops out.
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card. During activation,
your SIM card is loaded with your subscription details,
such as your Personal Identification Number (PIN),
available optional services, and other features.
2. Place the SIM card on the tray.
•
Warning: Please be careful when handling the SIM card
to avoid damaging it. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of
small children.
3. Place the memory card on the tray with the gold
contacts facing down.
You can also install an optional microSD™, microSDHC™,
or microSDXC™ memory card (not included) to add more
memory space to your device. A memory card can be
installed at any time. It is not necessary to install it
prior to using the device.
Set Up Your Device
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face
down into the device and that the card is
positioned as shown.

Charge the Battery
Note: You should dry the inside of the charging port
before inserting a power connector to charge your
device. If the charging port is not fully dry, your device
may operate abnormally. For example, it may charge
more slowly or overheat. For more information, refer to
“Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance” on page 259.
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard
Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and USB
cable) is included with the device for charging the
battery from any standard outlet.
4. Slide the SIM card/Memory card tray back into
the slot.
Note: Your device is IP68 rated for dust and water
resistance. To maintain the water-resistant and
dust‑resistant features of your device, make sure
that the SIM card/Memory card tray openings are
maintained free of dust and water, and the tray is
securely inserted prior to any exposure to liquids. For
more information, refer to “Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance” on page 259.
Set Up Your Device
The battery comes partially charged. You can use the
device while charging.
Note: For fastest charging times, use the Adaptive
Fast Charger that came with your device. This charger
provides faster charging only when connected to

When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is low and only a few minutes of
operation remain, the device sounds a warning tone at
regular intervals.
Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries
approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are
designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using
other accessories may invalidate your warranty and
may cause damage.
In this condition, your device conserves its remaining
battery power by dimming the screen.
2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head, and
then plug the charging head into a standard outlet.
For a quick check of your battery level:

If the device heats up while charging the battery:
1. Disconnect the charger from the device and close
any running apps.
2. Wait for the device to cool down, and then begin
charging the device again.
While charging, the device and the charger may
become hot when using wireless charging or fast
charging. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or
performance and is in the device’s normal range of
operation.

The charger may stop charging if the battery becomes
too hot.
If the lower part of the device overheats,

Visual Voicemail
This topic describes the Visual Voicemail feature of your
phone’s service, as well as the steps required to set up
Visual Voicemail on your phone.
About Visual Voicemail
Visual Voicemail gives you a quick and easy way to
access your voicemail. Now, you can find the exact
message you are looking for without having to listen to
every voicemail message first. This feature periodically
goes out to your voicemail, and gathers the caller
information from all of the current voicemails. It then
populates a list with the caller name and number,
along with the length of time and priority level of the
voicemail message.
Apps
Set Up Visual Voicemail
Setting up Visual Voicemail follows many of the same
procedures as setting up traditional voicemail. You
should set up your voicemail and personal greeting
as soon as your phone is activated. Your phone
automatically transfers all unanswered calls to your
voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off.
Note: To set up your traditional voicemail box,
see “Voicemail Setup” on page 16.

Warning: 9-1-1 Emergency Calling
If this cable was not provided with your TTY device,
contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.
It is recommended that TTY users make emergency
calls by other means, including Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline
communications. Wireless TTY calls to 9-1-1 may be
corrupted when received by public safety answering
points (PSAPs), rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears
related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs.
This matter has been brought to the attention of
the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.

Modification of Software
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection
rating system.
Samsung is not liable for performance issues or
incompatibilities caused by your editing of registry
settings, or your modification of Operating System
(OS) software.
Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust resistant
in certain circumstances (meets requirements of
classification IP68 as described by the international
standard IEC 60529 – Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C,

Using custom OS software may cause your device and
applications to work improperly. Your carrier may not
permit users to download certain software, such as
custom OS.

Despite this classification, your device is not impervious
to water damage in any situation. It is important that
all compartments are closed tightly.
•
Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized
water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than
30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh water,
dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh
water, rinse the device with fresh water immediately
and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it
as instructed may cause the device to suffer from
operability or cosmetic issues.
•
•
Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.
•
To maintain the water-resistant and dust-resistant
features of your device, if an S Pen is available
for use, verify it is securely inserted prior to any
exposure to liquids.
Note: If any liquid is found to have entered your device
components or an internally sealed system, this
condition will void your device warranty.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.
•
•
Any device which uses accessible compartments
or ports that can be opened, should have these
sealed or closed tightly to prevent liquid from
entering the system.
Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth. If your device has gotten
wet, you should dry the inside of the charging port
before inserting a power connector to charge your
device. If the charging port is not fully dry, your
device may operate abnormally. For example, it may
charge more slowly or overheat.

If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the
water and dust resistant features of the device
