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 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).
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.
Getting Started 1
䊳
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. Reorient 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.
2
䊳
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 “Memory Card” on
page 30.
Installing the Battery
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,
making sure the gold connectors align (1).
2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).
Replacing the Back Cover
1. Place the battery cover onto the top of the phone (1) and
press down (2).
2. Press down along all of the outer edges of the battery cover
to ensure it is locked into place (3).
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the
phone.
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.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser
use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby
times.
Getting Started 3
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 3 hours and
30 minutes.
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.
4
1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power
Accessory Interface jack 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!:
The touch screen responds best to a light t ouch 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.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery can
damage 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 by entering the dimming
