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

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 back cover by inserting a fingernail or pointed

object into the slot on the top 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!:

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

Correct

Incorrect

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.

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).

Getting Started 6

Installing the Back Cover

1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1) and

press down (2).

Note:

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

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.

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

secure seal.

released. Then grasp the memory card and remove it from
the phone.

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on
page 35.

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 flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power/

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!:

Please 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. see “Standard
Limited Warranty” on page 177.

Getting Started 8

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.

This section describes how to use your keyboard when entering
text and how to select the desired text input method when using
the onscreen keypad. This section also describes the predictive
text entry system that reduces the amount of key strokes
associated with entering text.

Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.

Using the QWERTY Keyboard

When you slide open your phone, there is a four-row QWERTY
keyboard with dedicated Android keys. Using the QWERTY
keyboard to type letters, numbers, punctuation, and other special
characters into text entry fields or other applications should be
simple and fast.

The keyboard provides dual-use keys labeled with alphabetic
characters on the bottom half (in white) and numbers,
punctuation, and symbols (light blue) on the top half. Press the
key corresponding to the character you want to enter.

Note:

When the QWERTY keyboard is used, the screen can only display in the
landscape orientation.

your finger down on the “T”, and without lifting, glide it to the
“h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.

Section 5: Contacts and Your Address Book

Contacts

This section allows you to manage your daily contacts by storing
their name and number in your Address Book. Address Book
entries can be sorted by name, entry, or group.

the name, phone number, group, and slot location are initially offered
as fields (some SIM cards may allow an address as well). Although you
may add additional fields to a SIM entry; if you move that same SIM
card to another model phone, it is possible that only the basic
information will be transferred.

AT&T Address Book Activation

When you access the AT&T Address Book, the network backup
service, contacts are automatically synchronized between your
phone and online address book. The changes you make are

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 Accounts” on page 62.
