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.

Caution! When replacing the battery cover, do not apply pressure to the screen (“squeeze”) as this can damage

the screen. Be careful not to damage or detach the Charger/Accessory jack cover. A damaged or missing cover can result in water damage to the device.

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

phone’s warranty.

For more information, refer to “Enabling the USB 3.0 Connection” on page 71.

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. Insert the USB 3.0 cable into the device’s

Charger/Accessory jack.

USB 2.0

Connector

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.

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.

USB 3.0

Connector

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.

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.

Caution! 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.

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.

Switching the Device On or Off

Once the device has been conﬁgured, you will not be prompted with setup screens again.

To turn the device on:

► Press and hold Power/End until the device switches on.

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.

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.

The device searches for your network and after finding it, you can make or receive calls.

Note: The display language is preset to English at the factory. To change the language, use the Language

menu. For more information, refer to “Language and Input” on page 88.

To turn the device off:

1. Press and hold Power/End until the Device options screen appears.

2. Tap Power off.

Initial Device Configuration

1. Select a language from the associated field.

English is the default language.

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.

Note: You may be prompted with a notification that your activation is completed. Enabling Google location

services can drain battery power.

For more information, refer to “Creating a Samsung Account” on page 86.

Note: Read the on-screen Dropbox set up and registration information regarding new services.

3. Enter a unique device name.

Important! The device name is also used to provide an identification for your device’s Bluetooth and

Wi-Fi Direct names.

4. Tap Finish to complete the setup process.

5. Read the on‑screen Collect diagnostics information.

Note: This software collects only diagnostic data from your device so that customer service technicians can

better troubleshoot issues with your device.

● 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.

6. Select either More info... (to read additional information) or Close to close the message screen.

Important! Selecting Close only closes the current description screen and does not disable data collection.

Any of the apps found within the Multi window panel can be run at the same time as a current on‑screen app.

Once multiple apps are running on the same screen, you can then choose to either swap their positions or

maximize a desired app.

Note: Only applications found within the Multi-window panel can be active atop another current application on

the screen. When launching applications that contain multimedia files (music/video), audio from both files will be played simultaneously.

In this example we will be launching both the Messaging and Maps applications.

1. Launch an application.

● From the Home screen, tap Apps g Messages.

2. Activate the Multi window feature.

3. Tap the tab to display the Apps panel.

4. Touch and hold the desired app, such as Maps, until it detaches from the panel.

5. In a single motion, drag it over the current app and drop the new Multi window app over either the top or

bottom area of the current on‑screen app.

Note: Once two applications are running, the device displays a split screen view containing both the initial app

and the new Multi window app. Each application is still independent of the other.

To increase the size of a desired application window:

1. With the two applications shown in a split screen, locate the Border bar indicating the edge of the app window.

2. In a single motion, touch and hold the Border bar then drag it to resize the desired window.

To close a selected application:

1. With the two applications shown in a split screen, tap one of the two on‑screen apps to select it.

2. Tap the Border bar to show the on‑screen icons.

3. Locate and tap Close Application. The current app is closed and the remaining app is maximized.

To add text or image to app:

Dragging and dropping a paragraph of text or a screen shot image is now possible with Multi Window.

1. Drag the Gallery app onto one of the available on‑screen windows. Open an image folder.

2. With the two applications shown in a split screen, tap the Border button .

3. Locate and tap Drag and Drop Content.

4. Drag and drop a paragraph of text or an image from one window into the other.
