Your phone features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to

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.

Understanding This User Manual

The sections of this manual generally follow the features of your device. A robust index for features begins on page 205.

This manual gives navigation instructions according to the default display settings. If you select other settings, navigation steps may be different.

Unless otherwise specified, all instructions in this manual assume that you are starting with the phone unlocked, at a Home screen. To get to a Home screen, you may need to unlock the device. For more information, refer to “Securing Your Device” on page 14.

Note: Instructions in this manual are based on default settings

and may vary from your device depending on the software version on your device and any changes to the device’s settings.

Note: All screen images in this manual are simulated. Actual

displays may vary depending on the software version of your device and any changes to the device’s settings.

Text Conventions

This manual provides condensed information about how to use your device. To make this possible, the following text conventions are used to represent often-used steps:

➔ Arrows are used to represent the sequence of

selecting successive options in longer, or repetitive, procedures. For example:

From a Home screen, touch Apps ➔

Settings ➔ Screen timeout.

Certain features and options use an ON/OFF button.

For example: Tou ch th e ON/OFF button to turn Bluetooth on or

My device tab ➔ Display ➔

Removing the Back Cover

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.

Caution! Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively.

Doing so may damage the cover.

To remove the back cover:

1. Place your fingernail into the slot in the side of the

cover (1). If you have fragile nails, use a pointed object.

2. Pull the cover up and then lift up and away from 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 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.

Caution! Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the

phone and that the angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.

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.

Getting Started 8

Installing a MicroSD Card

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 an optional microSD memory card:

 Carefully slide the memory card under the top metal

plate into the memory card socket, as shown, until the card locks into place.

Installing the Battery

To install the battery:

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the

phone, making sure the connectors align (1).

2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

Replacing the Back Cover

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.

2. Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you

have a secure seal.

Getting Started 10

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Charger, which is used to charge the battery, is included with your phone. 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: 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 requires additional charging time.

Using the Travel Charger

To use the Travel Charger:

1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger (1) into the

Power/Accessory Interface connector 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! 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.

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. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty.

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.

You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a percentage value onscreen can provide a better idea of the remaining charge on the battery.

 From a Home screen, touch Apps ➔

Settings ➔

Show battery percentage.
