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.

Battery and Charger
Warning!:
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers with your
device. The failure to use a Samsung-approved battery and
charger may increase the risk that your device will overheat, catch
fire or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death or property
damage.
Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It
allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The
battery provides up to 6.5 hours of continuous talk time.
At 3% of charge capacity, there are only a few minutes of talk
time left, the device sounds an audible alert, displays a critical
charge icon ( ), then turns off.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser
use and other variables may reduce the battery talk and standby times.
Tip:
Watch your battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs
out of power.
Installing the Battery
See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 5.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any
stored numbers or messages.
2. Grasp the device firmly, locate the cover release latch, and
then place your fingernail in the opening and firmly “pop”
the cover off the device.
3. Carefully remove the battery from the device.
Warni ng!:
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be
burned.

Although the battery comes partially charged, it is recommended you
fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.
1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
2. Slide open the Charger/Accessory jack cover.
3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory
jack.
16
4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.

Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage and GPS
functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of
helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
•
Reduce your backlight time. See “Changing the Backlight Time
Length” on page 55.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning Bluetooth On and Off”
on page 108.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
•
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this
function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current
location; each query drains your battery. See “Activating Location
Mode” on page 121.
•
When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have to. See
“Camera Settings” on page 102.
•
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging
your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and
recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of the battery.
