Dynamic Noise S u pp ression 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 call ing hears only your voice, without disturbing background noise.

•

Dynamically equalizes and adjusts voice volume to optimize your calling

experience, so you can hear clearl y 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 card into their corresponding internal compartments.

Remove the battery cover by sliding the battery cover in the direction of the arrow (1).

Lift the cover up and off the phone (2).

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 it s contacts can be easily

damaged by scratchin g or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Kee p all SIM cards out of reach of small children.

• Carefully slide the SIM card under the metal bracket and into the

SIM card socket until the card locks into place.

•

Make sure the card’s gold contacts face into the phone and th at 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.

Installing the Batte ry

Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone, making sure the connectors align (1).

Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

Replace the battery cover on the back of the phone (1) and slide it into place until you hear it securely click (2).

Note:

Make sure the battery is properly inst alled before switching on the phone.

Installing a Memo ry Card

Your phone also supports the use of a memory card (microSD) for storage of such things as data, music, pictures, and video files. This type of memory card is designed for use with mobile phones and other devices.

Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown). Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the card is securely inserted.

Note:

Your de v i c e has been tested to support up to a 16GB m emory card.

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Adapter that is used to charge the battery is included with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but it will require additional charging time.

Note:

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

Using the Travel Adapter

With the battery installed, temporarily open the plastic cover over the Power/Accessory Interface connector (upper 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 co nt inuously, pre venting proper operation.

Plug the

small connector

of the Travel Adapter into the Power/ Accessory Interface connector as shown and the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.

When charging is finished, remove the connector from the interface connector jack on the phone.

Note:

Failure to un plug the wall charger be f o re yo u remove the battery ca n ca u se damage to the ph one.

Low Battery Indicator

Battery level is indicated by the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display . Five bars ( ) indicate a full charge.When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the empty battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power by reducing the backlight’s brightness and entering a dimming mode.

When the battery level becomes too low , the phone automatically turns off.

Switching the Phone On or Off

proceeds to search for the network. Once the network has been found, you can make or receive calls.

Section 3: Entering Text

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode when entering characters into your phone. It also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes associated with entering text.

Using the Text Input Methods

The Input Method option switches the key entry functions between Multitap (Alphabetic), T9 Alphabetic (predictive text mode), 123 (Numeric Mode), and Symbols Mode.

Multitap Input Method (abc, Abc, and ABC)

This input method allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want. Press the key once, twice, three, or four times until the desired letter displays.

The abc method makes all letters of the word lowercase. The Abc method makes the initial letter uppercase and the remaining letters lowercase. The ABC method makes all letters of the word uppercase.

T9 Predictive Text Input Method (T9 ab , T9 A b , an d T9 AB )

This input method allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, pressing the key can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 method automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabetic mode.

The T9 ab method makes all letters lowercase. The T9 Ab method makes the initial letter uppercase and the remaining letters lowercase. The T9 AB method makes all letters uppercase.

Numeric

This mode allows you to enter numbers.

Symbols

This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.

Changing the Text Input Mode

When you are in a field that permits text entry (such as in a text message), the text input mode indicator displays at the top right of the screen. To change the text input mode:

Press the Options soft key and select Text Mode. Choose your preferred text input mode: Multitap, T9 Predictive

Text, Numeric or Symbols.

Pressing the key to choose from the following options: If in Multitap mode: Press the key to toggle abc (all lowercase), Abc (initial capitalization), ABC (all uppercase), and 123 (numeric).

If in T9 Predictive Text mode: Press the key to toggle T9 ab (words are all lowercase), T9 Ab (words are initial uppercase),T9 AB (words are all uppercase), and 123 (numeric).
