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. The microSD™ card
slot is also located in this same internal area.

slot on the bottom side of your phone (1).
5
2. Lift the cover up (2) 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!:
Correct
Incorrect
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.
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.
Removing and Installing the Memor y Card
You can use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC card to expand
available memory space if you desire. 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.
Installing the Memory Card

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.

the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and
void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard
Limited Warranty” on page 184.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can
cause damage to the phone.
Low Battery Indicator

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.
