Your phone features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to

heard

™ in nearly any environment. earSmart technology uses the science of human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your

hear and be

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 back cover by inserting a fingernail into

the slot on the top of your phone (1).

2. Lift the cover up (2) and away from the phone.

Caution!

Do not remove the rubber seal from the inside of the
back cover. Doing so can cause water damage to the
device if it gets wet.

Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively.
Doing so may damage the cover.

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 5

Important!

Note:

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
and that the upper-left angled corner of the card is positioned
as shown.

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.

6

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).

Removing and Installing the Memory Card

You can use a 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 SD-compatible devices. This type of memory
card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other
devices.

Note:

Your phone has been tested to support up to a 128GB
memory card.

Installing the Memory Card



Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as
shown). The microSD card will fit on top of the SIM
card.

•

Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and
the card is securely inserted.

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Storage” on
page 116.

Removing the Memory Card

1. Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.

2. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.

Installing the Back Cover

1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)

and press down (2).

2. Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you

have a secure seal.

Getting Started 7

3. To avoid water damage, ensure that the back cover is

completely closed by pressing just below the AT&T
Logo until you hear a click.

Note:

Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.

Charging the Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A
wall charger, which is used for charging the battery, is
included with your device. Use only approved batteries and
chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.

Note:

You must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges
fully in approximately 4 hours. Although you can use the
phone while the battery is charging, doing so will require
additional charging time.

8

Important!

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 damage to the phone.

1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.

2. Lift up on the Charger/Accessory jack cover that covers

the port on the bottom of your phone and swing it
open.

3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/

Accessory jack.

4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power

outlet. The device turns on with the screen locked and
indicates both its charge state and percent of charge.

5. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from

the interface connector jack on the phone.

Important!

Important!

Before closing the Charger/Accessory jack cover,
check to see if there is any foreign substance such
as dust on sand on the rubber seal.

6. Tightly close the multipurpose jack cover when you are

finished so that no water can enter the port.

Your touch screen responds best to a light touch
from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic
stylus. 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 the “Standard
Limited Warranty” in your in-box H&S Guide.

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.

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.

•

Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using
this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your
current location; each query drains your battery.

Getting Started 9

•

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.

Maintaining water and dust resistance

This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress Protection rating
system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of protection), and
the water resistance rating is 7 (water resistant up to 1 meter

for up to 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device
is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is
important that all compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.

•

Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean,

soft cloth.

•

Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to
water over 1 meter deep for more than 30 minutes. If your device
is exposed to salt water, wash the device with fresh water then
dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries,
salt may accumulate and block the microphone, earpiece, and
speaker.

•

When drying off your device, be sure to pat the earpiece (top front
of phone), microphone (bottom of phone), and speaker (rear of
phone) with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as
possible.

•

When making a call immediately after your device is wet, the
microphone may have water in it which may lower the volume
that the other person will hear. After drying off the device, allow
the device to air-dry before making a call.

•

The back and multipurpose jack covers may be loosened slightly
if the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all the
covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise, they
may not provide protection from water and dust.

•

Always keep the multipurpose jack cover clean and be careful to
avoid damaging it.

Note:

The touch screen may not be active in water.

Linking Contacts

Linking 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 link 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 65.
