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

.
1. Place your fingernail into the slot in the side of the
cover (1). If you have fragile nails, use a pointed object.
2. Lift the cover up (2) and to the right of the phone.

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.
Carefully slide the SIM card 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 upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned as shown.
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.
Getting Started 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

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:
1. Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as
shown).
2. Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face

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.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.
Warning!
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.
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 wa
