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.

Removing the Back Cover
Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM

.
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
downward and the card is securely inserted.

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

Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.
12
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
