Dynamic Noise Suppression from Audience
Your phone is equipped with an advanced voice processing chip that delivers clear mobile calls by suppressing
background noise, intermittent sounds (like a siren or nearby conversation), and echoes, allowing you to hear and
be heard nearly anywhere.
How Does It Work?
Based on the intelligence of the human hearing system, the technology:
•
Captures, evaluates and distinguishes all the sound signals surrounding your phone, and the person you're speaking with.
•
Then isolates the primary voice in conversation and filters out the background noise - so the person you're calling hears only
your voice, without disturbing background noise.
•
Dynamically equalizes and adjusts voice volume to optimize your calling experience, so you can hear clearly and don't need to
speak louder to overcome surrounding noise.
The noise suppression technology is built-in and already enabled in your new mobile phone. So it's ready to provide
unsurpassed voice clarity with every call.

Installing Battery
Removing Battery
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging the
battery, is included with your phone. Use only
approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local
Samsung dealer for further details.
Before using your phone for the first time, you must
fully charge the battery. A discharged battery
recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Note:
Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the
wall charger. If both the wall charger is connected and the
battery is not installed, the handset will power cycle
continuously and prevent proper operation. Failure to
unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery,
can cause the phone to become damaged.
Important!:
It is recommended you fully charge the battery
before using your device for the first time.
1. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack and slide
open the cover (1).
2. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/
Accessory jack (2).
3. Plug the charging head into a standard AC
power outlet. The device turns on with the
screen locked and indicates both its charge
state and percent of charge.
10
Correct
Incorrect
Note:
This illustration displays both the
orientation for connecting the charger. If the charger is
incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will
occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
4. When charging is finished, first unplug the
correct
and incorrect
charger’s power plug from the AC wall outlet,
then disconnect the charger’s connector from
the phone.
Important!:
If your handset has a touch screen display, please
note that a touch screen responds best to a light
touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic
stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object
when pressing on the touch screen may damage
the tempered glass surface and void the warranty.
For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 207.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes
of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the
“Low battery” message repeats at regular intervals
on the display. In this condition, your phone
conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming
the backlight.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and
GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help
conserve your battery power:
•
Reduce your backlight on time.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
•
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS
satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery.
Getting Started 11
•
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted
before charging your device. Repeating this process of a
complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce
the storage capacity of any battery.
•
Turn off Automatic application sync.
•
Use the Power Savings Widget to deactivate hardware
functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,
or LCD brightness setting.
•
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or
functions have been consuming your battery resources.
•
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary
applications.
•
Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown
background applications that are still running. These
minimized applications can, over time, cause your device
to “slow down”.
•
Turn off any streaming services after use (see Running
Services).
•
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and
more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a nonanimated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
Power Savings
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
Synchronization, Location consent, or the LCD
Brightness functionality all act to drain your battery.

functions or applications that use the most battery
power.
