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.

time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.

Using the Travel Charger

Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.

interface connector jack on the phone.

finger. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on
the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and
void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard
Limited Warranty” on page 180.

Voice to Text

This section describes how to select the desired text input
method when entering characters into your phone. This section
also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.

Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.

Your phone not only provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options, but also provides handwriting recognition to make the
task of text entry that much easier.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available:

•

used in both portrait and landscape orientation.

•

Section 5: Contacts and Your Address Book

Contacts

This section allows you to manage your daily contacts by storing
their name and number in your Address Book. Address Book
entries can be sorted by name, entry, or group.

You can also synchronize your phone Address Book with AT&T
Address Book, the network backup service.

Now, managing and keeping your contacts safe and accessible
has never been easier!

Note:

When storing an Address Book entry into your SIM card, note that only
the name, phone number, group, and slot location are initially offered
as fields (some SIM cards may allow an address as well). Although you
may add additional fields to a SIM entry; if you move that same SIM
card to another model phone, it is possible that only the basic
information will be transferred.

AT&T Address Book Activation

Upon activation of AT&T Address Book, the network backup
service, contacts are automatically synchronized between your
phone and online address book. The changes you make are
automatically saved and if you ever upgrade, damage, or lose
your phone, you can easily restore your contacts onto your new
phone.

Using Contacts

Dialing or Messaging from Address Book

You can store phone numbers and their corresponding names
onto your SIM card and phone’s onboard memory. The two

Joining Contacts

Joining Contact Information

Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.

This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Corporate email, and Google. When
you synchronize your phone with these accounts, each account
creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.

If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a regular
email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a
Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well
as a Yahoo! chat account, when you merge these accounts into
your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the
information in one record.

The next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts,
any updates that contacts make to email account names, email
addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.

For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 64.
