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. Remove the battery cover by inserting your fingernail
or a pointed object into the slot located at the bottom of
the battery cover (1).
6
Warning!
A graphite sheet is attached to the battery cover to
ensure your device does not over-heat. Be careful
not to damage it when using a pointed object or your
fingernail
Caution!
Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively.
Doing so may damage the cover.
2. Lift the cover up (2) 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!
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 toward the phone
and that the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned
as shown.
Note:
If the SIM card is not inserted correctly, the phone will
not detect it. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the
SIM is not detected.
Installing 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.
Getting Started 7
Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as
shown).
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward
toward the phone and that the card is securely inserted.
Note:
Your phone has been tested to support up to a 32GB
memory card.
For more information on Memory Cards, see
on page 37.

and press down (2).
2. Press down along all of the outer edges of the battery
