Your phone features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to

hear and be heard

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 Voicemail.

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 back cover by inserting a fingernail into the slot

on the top side of your phone (1).

2. Lift the cover up and away from the phone (2).

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.

Getting Started 4

•

Correct

Incorrect

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 will not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.

Installing and Removing the Memory Card

Your device lets you use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC card to expand available memory space. This secure digital card enables you to exchange images, music, and data between SD-compatible devices. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.

Note:

Your phone has been tested to support up to a 32GB memory card.

1. 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

2. To remove, push on the memory card until it clicks and is

released. Then grasp the memory card and remove it from

the phone.

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on page 36.

Installing the Battery

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,

making sure the connectors align (1).

2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

Installing the Back Cover

1. Place the battery cover onto the back bottom of the phone

(1) and press down (2).

Getting Started 6

Incorrect

Correct

Press all along the edge of the back cover until you have a

secure seal.

Note:

Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.

Charging a Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Charger that is used to charge the battery is included with your device. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, web 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 will require 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 Charger

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.

1. Plug the small end of the Travel Charger into the Power/

Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a

standard AC wall outlet.

When charging is finished, disconnect the charger 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.

Switching the Phone On or Off

1. Press and hold (on the upper right side of the

phone) until the phone switches on.

2. Sweep your finger across the screen to unlock the phone.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power by entering the dimming mode. The battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display provides a quick check of your battery level. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.

Note:

Joining Contacts

Joining Contact Information

Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social networking logins, and other similar account information. For example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a

corporate email account login because they are maintained separately and for different groups of people.

This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Corporate email, and Google. When you synchronize your phone with these accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.

If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a regular email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well as a Yahoo! chat account, when you merge these accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the information in one record.

The next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts, any updates that contacts make to email account names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.

For more information about synchronizing accounts, see “Synchronizing Contacts” on page 60.

Marking a Contact as Default
