Changing the Screen
Orientation
The Samsung
Intercept™ is capable
of automatically changing the orientation of some
onscreen content. The device’s built-in
accelerometer senses movement and changes its
angle/orientation.
This allows the device to change the onscreen
content (images, video, Web pages) to properly
display based on the current angle (some screens
may not automatically change).
Although most screens will change orientation once
the QWERTY keyboard is opened, this feature can be
manually enabled to change the orientation for all
applicable screens when rotation is detected.
Note:
An example of a screen that does not automatically reorient is the Home screen. This screens requires you
slide out the QWERTY keyboard. An example of a screen
that automatically re-orients by moving the device is the
Contacts screen. This only requires you turn the device
on its side.

Section 7: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text
input mode when entering characters into your
phone. This section also describes how to use the
Swype keyboard to ease the text entry method.
Entering Text with Onscreen Keyboard
When you activate a field where you can enter text,
numbers, symbols, etc., you can either use the
onscreen keyboard or QWERTY keyboard.
Onscreen keyboard entry can be done in either
Portrait or Landscape orientations. The Landscape
orientation provides more space and results in
slightly bigger onscreen keys. If you find that you
prefer to enter text via the onscreen keyboard, and
need bigger keys, use this orientation.
Activating the Landscape Keyboard
Although the device will automatically rotate its
screen orientation to Landscape once the QWERTY
keyboard slides out, the Samsung Intercept™ can
also be set to automatically change its orientation. To
use the onscreen keyboard in Landscape mode, this
feature must first be enabled.
See “Changing the Screen Orientation” on page 25.
Selecting a Text Input Mode
Your device provides convenient ways to enter
letters, numbers, and symbols whenever you are
prompted to enter text (for example, when adding a
Contacts entry or when using email and text
messaging).
In this section we’ll cover the steps necessary to
enter text using the onscreen keyboard, where the
touchscreen is the primary method of both text and
character entry.
Note:
Some characters and types, such as some symbols and
emoticons, are not accessible from the onscreen
keyboard.
1. From a screen where you can enter text, tap
the input field to reveal the onscreen keyboard.
2. Select one of the following Text mode options:
•ABC
to use alphabetic characters from the onscreen
keyboard (See page 52.)
• ?123
to enter numbers by pressing the numbers on
the onscreen keyboard. (See page 53.)
Tip:
When entering text, tap to change letter capitalization.
• Voice Input allows the device to use its built-in
voice recognition software to hear your voice and
transcript it directly into text.
To change the input method:
1. From an active text input screen, touch and
hold a text input field.
2. Select Input Method from the onscreen context
menu. See “Using Context Menus” on page 28.

Entering Text using the QWERTY
Keyboard
Accessing the QWERTY Keyboard
The Samsung Intercept™ has a built-in, keyboardstyle keypad, referred to as a full QWERTY keyboard.
The keyboard is located beneath the display screen
and is accessed by sliding it open. This orients the
device's display to Landscape (widescreen) mode.
Using the QWERTY keyboard, you can type letters,
numbers, punctuation, and other special characters
into text entry fields or other applications simpler and
faster than using the onscreen keyboard.
To open the device and access the keyboard:
1. Rotate the device 90 degrees counter-
clockwise.
2. Slide the top section of the device up to open,
as shown in the illustration. When you slide the
device open, the display rotates from a vertical
viewing mode (Portrait) to a horizontal viewing
mode (Landscape).

Email
Your device’s Email applications let you access and
manage multiple email accounts simultaneously in
one convenient location.

main email application can manage both Internetbased email services (Gmail™ and Yahoo™) and
Corporate Work Email (Exchange).
The device can also be manually configured to
connect to other email systems.
Note:
If you have multiple email accounts, you must configure
each account with its own settings.
If you want to send and receive email messages
through an ISP (Internet Service Provider) account
(such as Exchange), or if you wish to use your device
to access your corporate email through a VPN (Virtual
Private Network), you will first need to set up an IMAP
or POP account.
•
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) - This mail
retrieval protocol is frequently used in large networks and
commercial and institutional settings. IMAP4 is the
current standard.
•
POP (Post Office Protocol) - This protocol is supported by
most ISPs and is currently more common among
consumer applications. POP3 is the current standard.

About Bluetooth
Bluetooth™ is a short-range communications
technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a
number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets,
hands-free car kits, Bluetooth-enabled handhelds,
computers, printers, and wireless devices. The
Bluetooth communication range is usually up to
approximately 30 feet.
Turning Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is set to
Off. Turning Bluetooth on activates the internal
Bluetooth antenna.
Note:
Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and
reduce your available usage times. It is recommended
that if you do not need it active, turn it off.
It is also recommended to turn off your Bluetooth within
locations that prohibit its use.
To turn Bluetooth on:
1. Press ➔ and tap

Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for
certain types of wireless local area networks (WLAN).
These device types use an 802.11 wireless
specification to transmit and receive wireless data.
Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing
and accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These
WAPs can either be Open (unsecured) as within most
Hot Spots, or Secured (requiring knowledge of the
Router name and password).
