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.

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.
1. Remove the battery cover by placing your thumbnail into the
slot at the bottom of the phone (1). If you have fragile nails,
use a pointed object.
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 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.
Getting Started 1
•
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 does not detect the SIM
card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and
the card is securely inserted.
Installing the Memory Card
Your device lets you use a microSD™ (SD) or microSDHC™ card
to expand available memory space.
Note:
Your phone has been tested to support up to a 32GB memory card.
Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown).
2
Warning!:
Once you install a secure digital card, it is formatted to work only
with your phone. It cannot be used with other devices.
For more information, refer to “Windows Phone 7 and MicroSD
Cards” on page 7.
Installing the Battery
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,
making sure the battery contacts align (1).
2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).
3. Replace the battery cover onto the back of the phone in the
direction shown by the arrow (1).
4. Press down along the bottom of the phone until you hear a
light click (2).
5. Press down firmly along the edges to ensure that the cover
is flush with the phone (3).
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the
phone.
Getting Started 3
Charging a Battery
Incorrect
Correct
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the
Travel Adapter included with your phone to charge the battery.
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
Note:
Searching for service, vibrate mode, 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 requires 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 Adapter
1. With the battery installed, slide the plastic cover open (top
left side of phone) .
Important!:
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connection. If the
battery is not properly installed and the travel adapter is
connected, the handset may power off and on continuously,
preventing proper operation.
2. Plug the flat end of the Travel Adapter into the Power/
Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.
Note:
When you connect the Travel Adapter, your phone powers on
automatically. Windows Phone 7 only supports charg ing while the phone
is powered on.
3. When charging is finished, disconnect the Travel Adapter
from the phone.
Warning!:
The touch screen responds best to a light t ouch from the pad of your
finger. Using excessive force when pressing on the touch screen
may damage the tempered glass surfac e and void the warranty. For
more information, refer to “Warranty Information” on page 105.
4
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before removing 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 critically low” warning appears and the device
sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. The battery level is
indicated by the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right
corner of your device’s display. Solid colour ( ) indicates a full
charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.
Note:
To see the battery level when there are no icons displayed, tap th e top of
the screen.
Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold the Power key (on the upper right
side of the phone) until the phone switches on.

Windows Phone 7 and MicroSD Cards
Users are strongly encouraged to review this section carefully
before inserting the right type of microSD card into a Windows
Phone 7 device.
Windows Phone 7 does not support freely swapping microSD
Cards in and out.
Many commercially available retail microSD cards are not
approved for use in Windows Phone 7. Use of unapproved cards
may cause performance degradation or device instability including
unexpected reset and loss of user data. MicroSD card class is not
an indication of meeting Windows Phone 7 requirements.
Approved cards can be obtained from the manufacturer or Mobile
Operator. (SanDisk 8GB class 2 microSD card has been certified.)
Once inserted and properly formatted, the memory card
becomes an inseparable part of the phone.
A microSD card inserted into a Windows Phone 7 device and
integrated into the device's file system is intended to be a
permanent modification to the device. Once a microSD card has
been integrated into a Windows Phone 7 device's file system, it
will no longer be readable or writable on any other devices, such
as computers, cameras or printers. This includes an inability to
format the microSD card for use in these devices. Improper use
(including inserting or removing) of microSD cards on Windows
Phone 7 devices may result in one or more of the following:
•
System error while powering on the device that prevents the Windows
Phone 7 operating system from loading. Note that emergency dialing
will function properly.
•
Inaccurate reporting of available storage.
•
Loss of access to or removal of installed applications.

•
Loss of access to or removal of user data or media stored internally
within the Windows Phone 7 device.
•
Overall file system performance degradation.
•
Device lockup or reset.
Inserting or Removing the Memory Card
To insert or remove a microSD card, you have to reset your phone
by using a procedure called a hard reset.
Warning!:
A hard reset resets your phone to its factory default settings and
wipes all data (pictures, video, contacts, music, and so on) from
your phone. Make sure your data is saved to your PC. For more
information, refer to “Using Zune To Stay In Sync” on page 46.
Insert a microSD Card Into a Windows Phone 7 device
Simply inserting a microSD card into a Windows Phone 7 device
and restarting the device will result in the card being ignored by
the phone. To insert a microSD card into your phone, follow these
instructions carefully.
1. If the microSD card contains any data, make sure you back
up the contents before inserting it into your Windows Phone
7 phone. The microSD card will be reformatted to be part of
the Windows Phone 7 file system and all data will be lost.

2. Press and hold the Power key to power off the
phone, if necessary, and open the battery cover.
3. Insert the microSD card into the SD slot located on device.
For more information, refer to “Installing the Memory Card”
on page 2.
4. Power up the device by pressing the Camera key
, Volume down key , and
