Your phone features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to
hear and be heard
in nearly any environment. earSmart technology uses the science of human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your voice, and
suppress surrounding noise for clear conversations just about anywhere.
How Does It Work?
•
The earSmart voice processor in your phone captures your voice and all the sounds around you.
•
Working like the human ear, it processes and distinguishes these sounds, isolates your voice conversation, and removes background noise – from both
ends of a call.
•
It also automatically equalizes and adjusts voice volume so you can hear and talk naturally, even in the noisiest places.
•
With earSmart technology, you can talk where you want, and have clear conversations for mobile calls, video chats, even speakerphone calls, without
worrying about surrounding noise.

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.
1. Remove the battery cover by placing your fingernail into
the slot in the side of the cover (1). If you have fragile nails,
use a pointed object.
2. Pull the cover up (2) and then lift up and away from the
phone (3).
Getting Started 4
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.
䊳
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.
5
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 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).
Replace the battery cover (the back of the phone) by
3.
putting the tabs into the slots as shown by the arrow (1).
4. Press the cover down (2) into place.
5. Press down firmly along the edges of the cover to ensure
that the cover is flush with the phone (3). You should hear a
light click as the cover locks in place.
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the
phone.
Getting Started 6
Charging a Battery
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.
Incorrect
Using the Travel Adapter
1. With the battery installed, locate the Power/Accessory
Interface connector at the bottom of the phone.
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.
7
Correct
Note:
When you connect the Travel Adapter, your phone powers on
automatically. Your Windows phone stays powered on whenever it is
charging.
Warning!:
While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function
due to an unstable power supply, unplug the USB power adapter
from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.
3. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the
interface connector jack on the phone.
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
