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

•

The earSmart voice processor in your phone captures your voice and all the sounds around you.

•

Llike the human ear, it processes and distinguishes 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, wi thout

worrying about surrounding noise.

SAFE™: “SAFE™” (Samsung for Enterprise) is a mark for a Samsung device that has been tested against Samsung's own internal criteria for
interoperability with certain third party security-related solutions for MDM and VPN. The testing includes field testing with local network
connection and menu tree testing that tests functionality of the solutions in conjunction with the Samsung device. During the testing, the
device is tested with the security solutions to see if the solutions work with the device as described by the third party security solution
providers. The testing, for example, includes field testing with local network connection and menu tree testing that tests functionality of the
solutions in conjunction with the Samsung device For more information about Samsung's SAFE™ program, please refer to
www.samsung.com/us/safe.

The actual available capacity of the internal memory is less than the specified capacity because the operating system and default applications
occupy part of the memory. The available capacity may change when you upgrade the device.

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 ser vice, vibrate mode, web
browser use, and other variables may reduce the ba ttery’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 th e hand set ba ttery is ins talled prior to co nnec tion. I f the

battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is connected,
the handset may power off and on continuously, preventing proper
operation.

Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.

2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the

interface connector jack on the phone.

Warning!:

The touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your

finger. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on
the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void
the warranty.

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 icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a
warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone
conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the
backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. 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.

Joining Contacts

Joining Conta ct 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.

66

For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 67.
