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.

5. Reinstall the battery cover by sliding it back onto the phone
until you hear it securely click. Make sure the battery is
properly installed before switching on the phone.
Installing or Removing the Memory Card
Your phone supports an optional memory card (microSD™) for
data storage of such things as music, pictures, video, or other
files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this
mobile phone and other devices.
Note:
This phone supports memory cards of up to 32 GB capacity.
1. Use your fingernail to lift the memory card cover, then
rotate it downward.
2. Insert the microSD card into the slot (as shown) and push
lightly with your thumb or finger until you hear a light click
sound. Ensure the microSD’s gold contact pins face
downward and the card is placed so that the indentations
on the card face the same direction as those illustrated.

3.
Push the microSD card with your thumb or finger a second
time to eject it from the slot.
4. Rotate the memory card cover back to the closed position
and press it lightly.
Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A travel
charger, used for charging the battery, is included with your
phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local
Samsung dealer for further details.
Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging,
doing so will require additional charging time.
Note:
You should fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first
time.
A standard battery allows up to 5.5 hours of talk time.
Important!:
Talk and standby times and other specifications are provided by
the manufacturer and are approximate. Actual performance
varies based upon features or services used, network
configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, customer
use, and other factors.
1. With the battery installed, temporarily remove the plastic
cover on the right side of the phone and plug in the travel
charger’s connector into the jack.
Important!:
Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connecting the
travel charger. If the battery is not installed and the travel
charger is connected the handset will power cycle continuously
preventing proper operation.
