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.

Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your phone by first
configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then
setting up your voice mail.
Setting Up Your Phone
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.
1. Use a coin or other object inserted in the slot on the
back cover and turn it counter-clockwise to unlock the
battery cover.
2. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into the
slot on the top of your phone (1).
3. Lift the cover up (2) and away from the phone (3).
Getting Started 1
Installing the SIM Card
Incorrect
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.
•
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.
2
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 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).
Removing and Installing the Memory Card
You can use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC card to
expand available memory space if you desire. This secure
digital card enables you to exchange images, music, and data
between SD-compatible devices. This type of memory card is
designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.
Note:
Your phone has been tested to support up to a 32GB
memory card.
Installing the Memory Card
1. Push the microSD card into the slot until it slides under
the small silver bar (1).
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward
and the card is securely inserted.
Correct
Incorrect
2. Press down on the microSD card (2).
3. Slide the microSD card in the opposite direction so that
it becomes captive under the other silver bar (3).
4. To remove the microSD card, reverse the procedure.
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card”
on page 37.
Getting Started 3
Installing the Back Cover
1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)
and press down (2).
2. Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you
have a secure seal.
Important!
4
When placing the cover back on the phone, press
down firmly along the edges to ensure that the
cover is flush with the phone. This will ensure that
the battery compartment is pressurized and that the
phone is waterproof.
3. Use a coin or other object inserted in the slot on the
A
back cover (A) and turn it clockwise to lock the battery
cover (B).
B
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.
Charging a 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:
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
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.
Getting Started 5
1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power/
Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the
interface connector jack on the phone.
6
Warning!
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.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause damage to the phone.
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 colour ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold until the phone switches on.
2. Sweep your finger across the screen to unlock the
phone.
Note:
The display language is preset to English at the factory.
To change the language, use the Language menu. For
more information, refer to “Changing Your Settings” on
page 97.
3. To switch off the phone, press and hold , until
Device options
the
screen displays.
4. Tap
Power off
to switch off the phone.
Power off
5. At the
prompt, tap OK.
Locking and Unlocking the Touch Screen
1. Press to lock the touch screen.
2. Press again to display the main screen then
sweep your finger across the screen to unlock.
Configuring your Phone
When you first turn on your phone, you will need to set up a
few things.
