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 off the phone (2).
5
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 information and its contacts 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.
䊳
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as shown below) until the card locks into place.
•
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.
Installing the Memory Card
Your phone also supports the use of a memory card (microSD™) for data storage of such things as data, music, pictures, and video files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.
1. Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks. Orient
the card as shown on the back of the phone.
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the card is fully inserted.

Getting Started 6
3.
Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone and press down (1).
4. Press down on the bottom of the phone (2) until you hear a
light click.
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.

Charging a Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Adapter used to charge the battery is included with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
7
Note:
Long backlight settings, 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 will require 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, open the plastic cover to access
the Power/Accessory Interface connector on the top right side of phone.
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.

4. When the battery is fully charged, the phone displays a
message telling you the battery is full. Remove the connector from the phone.
Warning!:
If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. 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 181.
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 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. Five bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.
