Dynamic Noise Suppression from Audience™
Your phone is equipped with an advanced voice processing chip that delivers clear mobile calls by suppressing background noise,
intermittent sounds (like a siren or nearby conversation), and echoes, allowing you to hear and be heard nearly anywhere.
How Does It Work?
Based on the intelligence of the human hearing system, the technology:
•
Captures, evaluates and distinguishes all the sound signals surrounding your phone, and the person you're speaking with.
•
Then isolates the primary voice in conversation and filters out the background noise - so the person you're calling hears only your voice, without disturbing
background noise.
•
Dynamically equalizes and adjusts voice volume to optimize your calling experience, so you can hear clearly and don't need to speak louder to overcome
surrounding noise.
The noise suppression technology is built-in and already enabled in your new mobile phone. So it's ready to provide unsurpassed voice
clarity with every call.

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 back cover by inserting a fingernail into the slot
on the bottom side of your phone (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.
Getting Started 1
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.
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 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.
2
Removing and Installing the Memory Card
Your device comes with a 2GB memory card already inserted. You
can use another microSD (SD) or microSDHC card to expand
available memory space if you desire. This secure digital card
enables you to exchange images, music, and data between SDcompatible devices.
Note:
Your phone has been tested to support up to a 32GB memory card.
Removing the Memory Card
1. Remove the battery. Use your thumbnail or a sharp object to
lift the battery up (1) and then away from the device (2).
Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.
2.
3. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.
•
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face upward and the
card is securely inserted.
Installing the Memory Card
1. Remove the battery. For more information, refer to
“Removing the Memory Card” on page 2.
2. Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown).
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on
page 30.
Getting Started 3
Installing the Battery
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,
making sure the connectors align (1).
2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).
4
Installing the Back Cover
1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1) and
press down (2).
Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you have a
2.
secure seal.
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the
phone.
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 four 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.
1. Plug the flat end of the travel charger into the Power/
Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.
Getting Started 5
2.
When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the
interface connector jack on the phone.
Warning!:
If your handset has a touch screen display, note that a 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 may damage the tempered glass surface and void the
warranty. For more information, refer to “Warranty Information” on
page 153.
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
mode. The battery charge indicator located in the upper-right
corner of your device’s display provides a quick check of the level.
Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.
Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold (on the upper right side of the
6
phone) until the phone switches on.
