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

Entering Text Using Swype

Swype™ is a text input method that allows you to enter a word by
sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your finger
between words. Swype uses error correcting algorithms and a
language model to predict the next word. Swype also includes a
tapping predictive text system.

The following example shows how to enter the word “This”. Put
your finger down on the “T”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”,
then to the “i” then over to the “s”.

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 55.

Using Email

Your phone’s Email application lets you access and manage
multiple email accounts simultaneously in one convenient location.

80

There are currently two main types of email accounts on your
phone: Internet-based email (Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.), and
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (Corporate email or Outlook®).

To send and receive email messages through an ISP (Internet
Service Provider) account, or if you wish to use your device to
access your corporate email through a VPN (Virtual Private
Network), you will first need to set up an IMAP or POP account.

•

IMAP

(Internet Message Access Protocol) - This protocol is frequently
used in large networks and commercial settings. IMAP4 is the current
standard.

•

POP3

(Post Office Protocol) - This protocol is supported by most ISPs
(Internet service providers) and common among consumer applications.
POP3 is the current standard.

•

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

- This protocol is frequently used with
a large corporate email server system and provides access to email,
contact, and calendar synchronization.
