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.

Installing and Removing the Memory Card
Your phone lets you use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC
card to expand available memory space. 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 was tested to support up to a 32GB memory
card.
1. Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks.
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and
the card is securely inserted.
2. To remove, push on the memory card until it clicks and
is released. Then grasp the memory card and remove it
from the phone.
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card”
on page 49.

Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger that is used to charge the battery, is included
with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers.
10
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.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges
fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Charger
Incorrect
Correct
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.
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.
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. see “Standard Limited Warranty”
on page 233.
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 phone 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
phone’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
