To charge the battery using the PC data cable:

1.Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the top of the phone.

2.Plug the micro USB end of the PC data cable into the multifunction jack.

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

Depending on the type of PC data cable you are using, it might take some time before charging begins.

4.When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the phone and then from the PC.

Insert a Memory Card (optional)

To store additional multimedia files, you must insert a memory card. Your phone accepts microSD™ or

microSDHC™ memory cards up to 32 GB (depending on the memory card manufacturer and type).

Samsung uses approved memory standards for memory cards but some brands might not be fully compatible with your phone. Using an incompatible memory card might damage your phone or the memory card and can corrupt data stored on the card.

Your phone only supports the FAT file structure for memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with a different file structure, your phone will prompt 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 into your phone, the file directory of the memory card will appear in the /sdcard/sd folder under the internal memory (moviNAND™).
