Your phone features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to hear and be heard™ in nearly any environment. earSmart technology uses the science of human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your 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 distinguishesDRAFTthese 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 to the right of the phone.

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

DRAFTInstalling 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.

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 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.

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 64GB memory card.

Installing the Memory Card

Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown).

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

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 DRAFTwith your device. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and

chargers.

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 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

“Standard Limited Warranty” on page 221.

Note: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the phone.
