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.

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. Use a coin or other object inserted in the slot on the
back cover (1A) and turn it counter-clockwise to open
the battery cover (1B).

2. Insert your fingernail or a sharp object into the groove
at the bottom of the phone (2).
3. Lift the cover up and away from the phone (3).
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!
Correct

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.
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 Memor y 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 slides under
the small silver bar (1).
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and
the card is securely inserted.

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.

The 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
