Samsung GALAXY S9 Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on receiving a new Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone!
To operate your phone, you'll need a wireless service plan with a data package:

• If you already have a wireless plan, please contact your wireless provider to transfer the service to your new Samsung phone. Your phone is unlocked and will work with any major provider.

In case you have internet and Wi-Fi at your home, please have the Wi-Fi network name and password ready.

The following items are included in the package:

INSERT A SIM CARD

1. With the phone facing up, insert the SIM tool (you can find the SIM tool in the phone box) into the tray hole to pop out the tray.
   
2. Carefully place the new SIM card into the tray with the carrier logo facing upward.
3. Push the tray back into your phone

POWER UP

1. Charge your phone and turn on your phone by pressing and holding the on/off button on the right edge of the phone until an image shows up on the phone screen.
   
2. Wait until the phone start up process is complete and then follow the prompts and instructions shown on the phone display.
3. 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.

SELECT WI-FI

1. You'll be prompted to select a Wi-Fi network or you can select the Wi-Fi under Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi. If you have a WiFi at your home, select the Wi-Fi and enter the corresponding password.
2. In case you do not have a Wi-Fi at your home, skip this step and the phone will use your wireless service to access the internet.

SIGN IN

1. After you power on, just follow the screen prompts to get started.
2. If you use Gmail™, you already have a Google™ account – if not, you can create an account during setup. Go to Settings > Cloud & Accounts. Select Accounts, then Google. Signing in to your Google account lets you access, sync and back up your stuff. See your Google apps, contacts, calendar, photos and more.
3. For help with your Google account, visit www.google.com/accounts
   

Once you have completed the steps as prompted, the setup is complete and your smartphone is ready to use!
