Your phone features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to
hear and be 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 Voicemail.
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. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into the
slot on the top side of your phone (1).
5
2. Lift the cover up and away from the phone (2).
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.
䊳
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as
shown) until the card locks into place.
•
Correct

Incorrect
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.
Installing and Removing the Memory Card
Your device 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 has been tested to support up to a 32GB memory card.
1. Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as
shown).
•
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 39.
Getting Started 6
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).
7
Installing the Back Cover
1. Place the battery cover onto the back bottom of the phone
(1) and press down (2).

secure seal.
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:
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
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.
Incorrect
Correct
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.
Getting Started 8
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 187.
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
color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.

phone) until the phone switches on.
