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.

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.
To remove the back cover:
1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into
the slot on the top of your phone (1).
8
2. Lift the cover up (2) and to the right of the phone.
Caution! Do not remove the rubber seal from the inside of the
back cover. Doing so can cause water damage to the device if it gets wet.
Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.

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 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.
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 9

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 card:
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.
10
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on page 43.
Removing the Memory Card
1. Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.
2. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.

Installing the Battery

Important! The battery provided with your device contains a
Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna. To ensure proper operation of the NFC features, do not use any other battery in your device.
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

Note: Before closing the cover, check to see if there is any
foreign substance such as dust or sand between the rubber on the back of the cover and the sealing area.
1. To close the cover, attach the upper part of the back
cover as shown (1).
2. Ensure that all the hooks inside the cover (2) are
properly aligned and tightly closed.
Getting Started 11
3. To avoid water damage, ensure that the back cover is
completely closed by pressing just below the flash (3) until you hear a click.
Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.

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.

Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance

This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress Protection rating system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of protection), and the water resistance rating is 7 (water resistant up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.
Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a
clean, soft cloth.
Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or
to water over 1 meter deep for more than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to salt water, wash the device with fresh water then dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries, salt may accumulate and block the microphone, earpiece, and speaker.
When drying off your device, be sure to pat the earpiece
(top front of phone), microphone (bottom of phone), and speaker (rear of phone) with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as possible.
18
When making a call immediately after your device is wet,
the microphone may have water in it which may lower the volume that the other person will hear. After drying off the device, allow the device to air-dry before making a call.
The back and multipurpose jack covers may be loosened
slightly if the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise, they may not provide protection from water and dust.
Always keep the multipurpose jack cover clean and be
careful to avoid damaging it.
Note: The touch screen may not be active in water.
