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.
Page 7
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.

Before closing the cover, check to see if there is any foreign substance such as dust or sand between the rubber on the back of the cover and the sealing area.
2. To avoid water damage, ensure that the back cover is
completely closed by pressing just below the flash (2).
Caution!
When replacing the battery cover, do not apply pressure to the screen (“squeeze”) as this can damage the screen.
Caution!
Be careful not to damage or detach the USB cover. A damaged or missing cover can result in water damage to the device.

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.
Before using your device for the first time, you must fully charge the battery.
Getting Started 12
Page 20
Note:
USB 3.0
USB 2.0 connector
connector
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.
To connect a USB 3.0 cable to the device:
1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
2. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack.
3. Carefully remove the cover (1) and insert the USB 3.0
cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory jack (2).
Important!
It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.
Note:
If the charger is incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.
For more information, see “Enabling the USB 3.0 Connection” on page 185.
13
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.
Page 21
Warning!
While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function due to an unstable power supply unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.
5. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s
power plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s connector from the device.
6. If you are using the older style USB 2.0 cable to charge
your battery, plug the flat end of the cable into the smaller port in the device’s Charger/Accessory jack.
7. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s
power plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s connector from the phone.
Important!
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 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.

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.
Getting Started 14
Page 22
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.

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 your GPS Location 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.
Page 23
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.

Linking Contact Information

Most 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. When you synchronize your phone with those accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) 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 Video! chat account, when you merge those accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You can select any account email address or information all from one screen, versus searching multiple, individual screens to locate the desired account information.
Next time you synchronize your device with your accounts, any updates contacts make to email account names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.

Marking a Contact as Default
When you use applications such as the Voice Dialer or other messaging type applications, the application needs to know which information is primary (default) in a contact entry list.
