heard

™ 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.

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

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:

You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.

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.

Using the Travel Charger

Correct

Incorrect

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!

If your handset has a touch screen display, 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. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 220.

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.
