DRAFT - For Internal Use Only
™ in nearly any environment. earSmart technology uses the science of human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your
heard
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.

Installing the SIM Card
Incorrect
Correct
DRAFT - For Internal Use Only
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!
Caution!
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.
Carefully slide the SIM card under the bottom metal
plate into the SIM card socket, as shown, 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.
9
Note:
If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone will not
detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot
if the SIM is not detected.
Installing a MicroSD Card
Incorrect
Correct
DRAFT - For Internal Use Only
Your device supports removable microSD or microSDHC
memory cards with maximum capacities of 64 GB
(depending on the memory card manufacturer and type).
Memory cards are used to store music, photos, videos, and
other files.
Note:
You can only store music files that you own (from a CD
or purchased with the device) on a memory card.
To insert a MicroSD card, which is optional:
Carefully slide the MicroSD card under the top metal
plate into the MicroSD card socket, as shown, until the
card locks into place.
Installing the Battery

2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).
Getting Started 10
Replacing the Back Cover
DRAFT - For Internal Use Only
1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)
and press down (2).
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.
11
2. Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you
have a secure seal.
Charging the 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.
Note:
Correct
Incorrect
DRAFT - For Internal Use Only
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
To use the Travel Charger:
1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger (1) into the
phone’s interface connector jack and the other end (2)
into a standard AC wall outlet.
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from
the interface connector jack on the phone.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Important!
Warning!
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.
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. 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 216.

Low Battery Indicator
My device
My device
DRAFT - For Internal Use Only
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.
You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a
percentage value on-screen can provide a better idea of the
remaining charge on the battery.
