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.

) and then tap OK to power off the

device.

Your screen remains blank while your device is off (unless the
battery is charging).

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.

15

Charging the Battery

Incorrect

Correct

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your
battery level becomes too low, your device automatically turns
off and you will lose any information you were just working on.

Note:

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.

Always use a Samsung-approved desktop charger, travel
charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Plug the flat end of the charger into the device’s charger jack.
The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its
charge state and percent of charge.

With the Samsung-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the
battery before it becomes completely run down.

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.

(some screens may not automatically change).

Although most screens will change orientation once the QWERTY
keyboard is opened, this feature can be manually enabled to
change the orientation for all applicable screens when rotation is
detected.

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf,
hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.

Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check
with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it is
compatible with digital cell phones. Your device and TTY device

will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone’s
headset jack.

If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your
TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

Warning!:

911 Emergency Calling

TTY users should make emergency calls by other means,
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless
TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by
public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered
appears related to software used by PSAPs. This matter
has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the
wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently
working to resolve this.

redialing a number fast and easy. It is continually updated as
your phone automatically adds new numbers to the beginning of
the list and removes the oldest entries from the bottom of the list.

Section 9: microSD Card

Your Device’s microSD Card and Adapter
The microSD Card

Your phone is equipped with a preinstalled 2GB SDHC (Secure
Digital High Capacity) memory card. It allows you to store
images, videos, music, and voice data in your phone.

Not all of the microSD card is registered in the available space,
as a small percentage of the storage is unread. For example, a
16GB microSD card will show approximately 14.73GB of total
space.

Note:

Camera, Camcorder, and Music playback features require that you
have a microSD memory card installed. Although your phone comes
with a pre-installed 2GB card, it can support SDHC cards of up to
32GB.

Note:

Do not over-insert the card as this can damage the contact pins.

Note:

Be sure to use only recommended microSD cards (<32GB). Using
non-recommended microSD cards could cause data loss and damage
your device.

Note:

The microSD card and its adapter can be easily damaged by
improper operation. Please be careful when inserting, removing, or
handling it.

96

Re-inserting the microSD Card

1. Locate the microSD card slot along the side of

the device.

2. Flip open the side microSD cover.

3. Insert the microSD card into the microSD card slot and

push in until you feel a click.

4. Replace the microSD card cover over the

open slot.

Note:

Make sure the microSD card's gold contacts are facing down.

microSD Icon Indicators

The following icons show your microSD card connection status at
a glance:

– card was unmounted (released from use)

from the device.

– card was properly unmounted from

the device but is missing (card was removed).
