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  
10  
 
To install the SIM or USIM card and battery,  
If the device is on, press and hold [ ] and select Power  
1
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  
contacts facing down.  
3
The antenna is located below the memory card slot. Do  
not remove the protective tape covering the antenna,  
as this can damage the antenna.  
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 a travel adapter or by  
connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.  
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.  
Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries to  
explode or damage your device.  
Assembling  
12  
 
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  
Open the cover of the multifunction jack.

Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power  
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  
longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the device  
and then from the power outlet.  
4
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.

Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.

Depending on the type of USB cable you are using, it  
may take some time before charging begins.  
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no  
longer moving), unplug the USB cable from the device  
and then from the PC.  
4
Insert a memory card (optional)  
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.  
Assembling  
15  
 
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  
sdcard/external_sd folder under the internal memory.

Bluetooth  
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications  
technology capable of exchanging information over  
a distance of about 10 m without requiring a physical  
connection.  
You do not need to line up the devices to beam information  
with Bluetooth. If the devices are within range of one another,  
you can exchange information between them even if they are  
located in different rooms.  
Samsung is not responsible for the loss, interception,  
or misuse of data sent or received via the Bluetooth  
wireless feature.  
Always ensure that you share and receive data with  
devices that are trusted and properly secured. If there  
are obstacles between the devices, the operating  
distance may be reduced.  
Some devices, especially those that are not tested  
or approved by Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible

144  
 
Never place batteries or devices on or in heating devices, such as microwave  
ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.  
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high  
external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating.  
Protect the device, batteries, and chargers from damage  
Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very hot  
temperatures.  
Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and reduce  
the charging capacity and life of your device and batteries.  
Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a  
connection between the + and – terminals of your batteries and lead to  
temporary or permanent battery damage.  
Never use a damaged charger or battery.  
Caution: Follow all safety warnings and  
regulations when using your device in restricted  
areas  
Turn off your device where prohibited  
Comply with all regulations that restrict the use of a mobile device in a  
particular area.  
Do not use your device near other electronic devices  
Most electronic devices use radio frequency signals. Your device may interfere  
with other electronic devices.  
Do not use your device near a pacemaker  
Avoid using your device within a 15 cm range of a pacemaker if possible, as  
your device can interfere with the pacemaker.  
If you must use your device, keep at least 15 cm away from the pacemaker.  
To minimise the possible interference with a pacemaker, use your device on  
the opposite side of your body from the pacemaker.  
Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical equipment  
that can be interfered with by radio frequency  
If you personally use any medical equipment, contact the manufacturer of the  
equipment to ensure the safety of your equipment from radio frequency.  
Safety precautions  
145  
If you are using a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for  
information about radio interference  
Some hearing aids may be interfered with by the radio frequency of your  
device. Contact the manufacturer to ensure the safety of your hearing aid.

Comply with all safety warnings and regulations  
regarding mobile device usage while operating a  
vehicle  
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use  
your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and  
the safety of others, practice good common sense and remember the following  
tips:  
Use a hands-free device.  
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and  
redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive  
calls on your mobile device.  
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device  
without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at  
an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.  
Safety precautions  
146  
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend calls  
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and  
heavy traffic can be hazardous.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down ato dolist or  
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary  
responsibility of driving safely.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or  
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.  
If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your  
mirrors, then continue.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be  
distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and  
suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from  
the road.

While using your device, leave some lights on in the room and do not hold  
the screen too close to your eyes.  
Seizures or blackouts can occur when you are exposed to flashing lights  
while watching videos or playing Flash-based games for extended periods. If  
you feel any discomfort, stop using the device immediately.  
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries  
When you repetitively perform actions, such as pressing keys, drawing  
characters on a touch screen with your fingers, or playing games, you may  
experience occasional discomfort in your hands, neck, shoulders, or other  
parts of your body. When using your device for extended periods, hold the  
device with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, and take frequent breaks. If  
you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a  
physician.  
Ensure maximum battery and charger life  
Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten  
battery life.  
Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before  
use.  
Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.  
Use batteries only for their intended purposes.  
Use manufacturer-approved batteries, chargers, accessories and

Safety precautions  
149  
When speaking on the device:  
Hold the device upright, as you would with a traditional phone.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Avoid contact with your device’s internal antenna. Touching the antenna  
may reduce the call quality or cause the device to transmit more radio  
frequency than necessary.  
Protect your hearing and ears when using a headset  
Excessive exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing  
damage.  
Exposure to loud sounds while driving may distract your  
attention and cause an accident.

are securely mounted.  
Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an air bag deployment  
area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury when  
air bags inflate rapidly.  
Allow only qualified personnel to service your device  
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your device may result in damage to  
your device and will void your manufacturer’s warranty.  
Handle SIM cards or memory cards with care

alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.  
Keep your personal and important data safe  
While using your device, be sure to back up important data. Samsung is not  
responsible for data loss.  
When disposing of your device, back up all data and then reset your device  
to prevent misuse of your personal information.  
Do not distribute copyright-protected material  
Do not distribute copyright-protected material that you have recorded to  
others without the permission of the content owners. Doing this may violate  
copyright laws. The manufacturer is not liable for any legal issues caused by the

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification  
information  
Your device conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit  
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and  
telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile  
devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific  
Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg.  
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.517 W/kg. In  
normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been  
designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the  
nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible,  
your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.  
The Declaration of Conformity statement at the back of this manual  
demonstrates your device’s compliance with the European Radio & Terminal  
Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For more information about  
the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung website.
