Topics Covered

• Understanding this User Manual

• Activating Your Phone

• Charging the Battery

• Setting Up Your Voicemail

This section explains how to start using your phone by activating your service, setting
up your voicemail, or getting an understanding of how this manual is put together.

Section 1: Getting Started 7

Understanding this User Manual

The chapters of this guide generally follow the same order as the menus and sub­menus in your phone. A robust index for quick reference to most features begins on
page 165.

Also included is important safety information that you should know before using your
phone. Most of this information is near the back of the guide, beginning on page

143.

Notes and tips

Throughout this guide are icons and text that are set apart from the rest. These are
intended to point out important information, quick methods for activating features, to
define terms, and more. The definitions for these methods are as follows:

• Notes: Explain alternative options within the current feature, menu, or sub menu.

• Tips: Provide quick or innovative methods for performing functions related to the

subject at hand.

• Fast Facts: Are like snippets from a glossary. Fast facts provide definitions in

context and proximity to the menu or feature in question.

• Important: Points out important information about the current feature that could

affect performance, or even damage your phone.

Activating Your Phone

Contact your U.S. Cellular and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if
necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your
phone supports.

Install the Battery

Note: Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery and travel
adapter.

Important: You must fully charge the batter y the first time you use your phone, otherwise you could damage
the battery. You can use your phone while the battery is charging, but the batter y will take longer to
recharge.

Tip: Your phone has an internal antenna. Do not touch the phone case

over the antenna while using your phone as this can affect call quality
and can cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than is
necessary.

Note: If you are outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area, the No Service icon ( ) appears at
the top of the phone’s display. If you cannot place or receive calls, try later wh en service is available, or at
another location.

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable
standard Li-Ion battery. Only use Samsung­approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to
maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and

The travel adapter included with your phone is a
convenient, light-weight charger that rapidly charges
your phone from any 120/220 VAC outlet.

1. Plug the large end of the Travel Adapter

into a standard 120 VAC or 220 VAC wall
outlet.

Note: For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must use an adaptor of the proper
configuration for the power outle t. Use of the wrong adapter could damage you r phone and void your
warranty.

2. Insert the smaller end of the Travel

Adapter into the charger/accessory
connector at the bottom end of your
phone.

Note: With the phone turned OFF, a discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 3 hours.

Low battery indicator

The battery indicator ( ) in the upper-right corner of the display indicates power
level. Monitor the battery strength and ensure your battery is adequately charged.

• Four bars ( ) indicate a full charge.

• An empty battery icon ( ) indicates a near empty battery.

• A blinking empty battery icon ( ) and a tone sounding indicate you have two to

three minutes before the battery is too low to operate the phone.

If you continue to use your phone without charging its battery, the phone shuts
down.

Setting Up Your Voicemail

Voice Dialing

The voice recognition capabilities of your SCH-A870 are exceptional due to
advanced, speaker-independent technology. This means you do not need to “train”
your phone to understand your voice. You can use your voice in a natural manner to
dial numbers.

Note: End Calls Before relaunching the VoiceSignal voice recognition software — When you use Voice
Dialing to make a call, you must end that call befor e you can use other Voice Commands. See for more
information.

Use the Call command to dial any number stored in your Contacts list by saying the
name of the contact (Name Dialing). You can also use the Call command to dial any
telephone number, even numbers not stored in your contact list, by speaking the
individual digits in the number (Digit Dialing).

Voice Dialing Tips:

• Wait for the beep before speaking.

• Speak clearly at a normal volume, as if you were talking to someone on the phone.

• When saying a name, say the first name then the last name.

1. In standby mode, press and hold the key.

“Say a Command” appears in the display and is pronounced through the
earpiece.

2. Say, “Call”.

You are prompted to “Say the name or #”.

3. Speak clearly and say the name of a person in your Contacts list, first

name followed by last name.

If the name is recognized, Call repeats the name and dials the number.

If Call is not sure which name you said, it displays a choice list of up to
three names and prompts you with “Did you say?” followed by the first
name on the list.

4. Say “Ye s” to confirm the name or “No” to hear the next name, or use the

keypad to select the correct name from the list. (See “Choice Lists” on
page 116, for more information.)

䢇 Press the Settings (left) soft key ( ) then press the Exit right soft key ( ) to

exit Call without dialing.

26

If the recognized name has multiple numbers stored for it (that is, Mobile,
Work, Home, and so on), Voice Dial displays the possible choices and
prompts you with “Which number?”

5. Say one of the following number types:

䢇 “Home”
䢇 “Work ”
䢇 “Mobile ”
䢇 “Pager ”

Voice Dial dials the specified number.

call. For example, say “7 8 1 9 7 0 5 2 0 0."

If it recognizes the number, Call repeats it and dials the number. If Call is
not sure it has recognized the number, it displays a choice list of up to
three numbers and prompts you with “Did you say?” followed by the first
number on the list.

4. Say “Yes ” to confirm the number or “No” to hear the next one, or use the
