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.

details.

Before using your device for the ﬁrst time, you must fully charge the battery.

Charging Head

USB Cable

Note: Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger. If both the wall charger is

connected and the battery is not installed, the handset will power cycle continuously and prevent proper operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause the device to become damaged.

Note: If the charger is incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is

a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

● Reduce the time your backlight stays on.

● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

● Turn Wi‑Fi off when not in use.

Note: If you are visually impaired or have difficulty hearing, tap Accessibility to configure the accessibility

settings.

2. Tap Start and follow the on‑screen setup instructions.

● Deactivate your GPS functionality when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically

query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process

of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

● Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions.

● Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery

resources.

● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.

● Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These

minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.

● Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a

non‑animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
