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.

1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into the slot on the bottom side of your phone (1).
Installing the SIM Card

Getting Started |
1 |
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.
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 Memory Card
Your device comes with a 2GB memory card already inserted. You can use another 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 SDcompatible devices.
Note: Your phone has been tested to support up to a 32GB memory card.
Removing the Memory Card
1.Remove the battery. Use your thumbnail or a sharp object to lift the battery up (1) and then away from the device (2).

2.Press along the edge of the back cover (3) 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 four 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 flat end of the travel charger into the Power/ Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.
Getting Started |

2.When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the interface connector jack on the phone.
Warning!: If your handset has a touch screen display, note that a 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. For more information, refer to “Warranty Information” on page 147.
Note: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can damage 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 the level. Solid color ( 
) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.
Switching the Phone On or Off

(on the upper right side of the
phone) until the phone switches on.
2.Sweep your finger across the screen to unlock the phone.
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 85.
