Assembling

Unpack

Check your product box for the following items:

Mobile device

●

Battery

●

microSIM holder

1

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.

1. The microSIM holder allows you to use a microSIM card, which

is a smaller sized version of a standard SIM card, in your device.

This accessory may be unavailable depending on your region.

Assembling

12

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.

To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,

If the device is on, press and hold the Power/Lock key and

1

select Power off

→

OK to turn it off.

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

3

contacts facing down.

Do not insert a memory card into the SIM card slot.

Assembling

13

Insert the battery.

4

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 PC data cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.

Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries to

explode or damage your device.

Assembling

14

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.

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.

Assembling

15

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 device’s lifespan or

performance.

If your device is not charging properly, bring your

●

device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no

3

longer moving), unplug the travel 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 electrical

socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The

device should remain close to the electrical socket while

charging.

Charge with a PC data cable

›

Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.

Plug one end (micro-USB) of the PC data cable into the

1

multifunction jack.

Assembling

16

Plug the other end of the PC data cable into a USB port on

2

a PC.

Depending on the type of PC data cable you are using,

it may take some time before charging begins.

When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no

3

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

32 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.

When you insert a memory card in your device,

●

the file directory of the memory card will appear in

the external_sd folder under the internal memory

(moviNAND

™

).

Assembling

device.

Assembling
