Getting started
Installing the SIM card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are
provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, any optional
services available, and so on.
Important!
The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can
be easily damaged by scratches or bending,
so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card.
Keep all SIM cards out of the reach of small
children.
1. If necessary, switch off the phone by holding down
the key until the power-off image displays.
2. Remove the battery. To do so:
Press the catch above the battery and hold it in
that position.
Lift the battery away, as shown.
Getting started
18
3. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket, as
shown, so that the card locks into position.
Make sure the gold coloured contacts on the card
face into the phone.
Note
: When you need to remove the SIM card, slide it
upwards, as shown, and take it out of the socket.
4. Place the battery so that the tabs on the end align
with the slots at the bottom of the phone.
Getting started
19
5. Press the battery until it clicks into place. Make sure
that the battery is properly installed before switching
the power on.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery.
A travel adapter comes with your phone for charging the
battery. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask
your local Samsung dealer for further details.
The travel adapter allows you to use the phone while the
battery is charging, but this causes the phone to charge
more slowly.
Note
: You must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery
recharges fully in approximately 90 minutes.
1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug the
connector of the travel adapter into the jack at the
bottom of the phone.
