Your phone features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to
™ in nearly any environment. earSmart technology uses the science of human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your
heard
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.
•
t 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 back cover by inserting a fingernail into the
slot on the top of your phone (1).
2. Lift the cover up (2) and to the right of the phone.
Caution!
Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing
so may damage the cover.
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.
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

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.
4
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges
fully in approximately 4 hours.
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.
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/
Correct
Incorrect
Accessory Interface connector 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!
If your handset has a touch screen display, please
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.
Note:
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause damage to 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, not by turning off the
backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick
check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge
indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s
display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
