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.

Section 1: Getting Started

This section explains how to start using your phone by first configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then setting up your voice mail.

Setting Up Your Phone

Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM into their corresponding internal compartments. The microSD™ card slot is also located in this same internal area.
1. Remove the battery cover by placing your thumbnail into
the slot at the bottom of the phone (1). If you have fragile nails, use a pointed object.
2. Push the cover forward (2) and then lift up and away from
the phone (3).
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, available optional services, and many others features.
Important!:
The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.
Getting Started 4
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as shown) until the card locks into place.
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the phone and that the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone does not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.
Installing the Memory Card
Your device lets you use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC™ card to expand available memory space.
Note:
Your phone has been tested to support up to a 32GB memory card.
Warning!:
You should only use a microSD card that is a "Certified for Windows Phone 7" card.
5
Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown).
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the card is securely inserted.
Incorrect
Correct
Warning!:
Once you install a secure digital card, it is formatted to work only with your phone. It cannot be used with other devices.
For more information, refer to “Windows Phone 7 and microSD Cards” on page 10.
Installing the Battery
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the
phone, making sure the three metal connectors align (1).
2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).
3. Replace the battery cover onto the back of the phone in the
direction shown by the arrow (1).
4. Press down along the bottom of the phone until you hear a
light click (2).
5. Press down firmly along the edges to ensure that the cover
is flush with the phone (3).
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.
Getting Started 6

Charging a Battery

Incorrect
Correct
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Adapter, which is used to charge the battery, is included with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers. Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.
Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging, doing so requires additional charging time.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Adapter
1. With the battery installed, slide the plastic cover
(top left side of phone) to expose the Power/Accessory Interface connector.
Important!:
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is connected, the handset may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.
2. Plug the flat end of the Travel Adapter into the phone’s
interface connector jack and the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.
Note:
When you connect the Travel Adapter, your phone powers on automatically. Your Windows phone stays powered on whenever it is charging.
3. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the
interface connector jack on the phone.
7
Warning!:
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. Using excessive force 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 133.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can
cause damage to the phone.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the “Battery critically low” warning appears and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.
Note:
If the phone automatically turns off because the battery level is too low,
you must charge the battery until the phone turns on automatically.

Switching the Phone On or Off

1. Press and hold the Power key (on the upper right
side of the phone) until the phone switches on.
Note:
The display language is preset to English at the factory. To change the language, use the Language menu. For more information, refer to “Changing Your Settings” on page 72.

Windows Phone 7 and microSD Cards

Users are strongly encouraged to review this section carefully before inserting the right type of microSD card into Focus, a Windows Phone 7 device.
Windows Phone 7 does not support freely swapping microSD Cards in and out.
Many commercially available retail microSD cards are not approved for use in Windows Phone 7.
Warning!:
You should only use a microSD card that is a "Certified for Windows Phone 7" card.
Use of unapproved cards may cause performance degradation or device instability including unexpected reset and loss of user data. A microSD card class is not an indication of meeting
Getting Started 10
Windows Phone 7 requirements. When approved cards are available, they will be identified as "Certified for Windows Phone 7".
Once inserted and properly formatted, the memory card becomes an inseparable part of the phone.
A microSD card inserted into a Windows Phone 7 device and integrated into the device's file system is intended to be a permanent modification to the device. Once a microSD card has been integrated into a Windows Phone 7 device's file system, it will no longer be readable or writable on any other devices such as computers, cameras, printers, and so on. This includes an inability to format the microSD card for use in these devices. Improper use (including inserting or removing) of microSD cards on Windows Phone 7 devices may result in one or more of the following:
System error while powering on the device that prevents the Windows Phone 7 operating system from loading. Note that emergency dialing will function properly.
Inaccurate reporting of available storage.
Loss of access to or removal of installed applications.
Loss of access to or removal of user data/media stored on the microSD card
Loss of access to or removal of user data or media stored internally
