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.

Installing Battery

Replacing the Battery Cover

Position the battery cover over the battery compartment and press down until you hear a click.

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

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 should fully charge the battery.

Charging Head

USB 3.0 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.

Important! It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.

For more information, refer to “Enabling the USB 3.0 Connection” on page 223.

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.

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.

Getting Started

USB 3.0 connector

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.

USB 2.0 connector

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. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 339.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time remain (~15% charge), a warning tone sounds and the “Battery low” message repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this condition, your device conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming the backlight.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device automatically turns off.

The on-screen battery charge is represented (by default) as a colored battery icon. You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a percentage value on-screen can provide a better idea of the remaining charge on the battery.

Press and then tap Settings Device tab Display Show battery percentage.

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 your backlight on time.

•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.

•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.

Getting Started

•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.
