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 distinguishes these 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.

Getting Started 5

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.

1. Remove the battery cover by placing your fingernail into the slot in the side of the cover (1).

2. Pull the cover up (2) and then lift up and away from the phone (3).

Installing the SIM Card

A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM Card) is a “smartcard” that houses personal information, such as your mobile phone number, calling plan, account information, and content, such as contacts, text messages, and call history.

The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE SIM Card is compatible with any Verizon Wireless 4G LTE certified device. You can move the 4G LTE SIM Card from one device to another and your wireless service will work seamlessly as long as you have a compatible device and service plan. To see which devices are compatible with the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE SIM Card, visit

verizonwireless.com/certifieddevice

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.



With the battery removed, 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.

Getting Started 7

Installing the Battery

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone, making sure the three metal connectors align (1).

2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).

3. Replace the battery cover (the back of the phone) by

aligning the bottom of the battery cover with the phone as shown.

4. Press the cover down into place.

5. Press down firmly along the edges of the cover to ensure that the cover is flush with the phone. You should hear a light click as the cover locks in place.

Note:

Make sure the battery is properly installed before

switching on the phone.

Charging a Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Wall/USB Charger, which is used to charge the battery, is included with your phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, 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 requires additional charging time.

Note:

You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.

Important!

Verify that the handset battery is installed prior to connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is connected, the handset may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.

Getting Started 9

Using the Wall/USB Charger

1. Connect the USB cable to the power adapter.

2. Plug the power adapter into a standard

electrical outlet.

3. Connect the small end of the USB cable into the phone’s Micro USB Charging Port.

Note:

When you connect the charger, your phone powers on automatically. Your Windows phone stays powered on whenever it is charging.

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.

4. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the interface connector jack on the phone.

Note:

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

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time remain, the “Battery critically low” warning appears and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals.

For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your device’s display. A solid battery icon ( ) indicates a full charge.

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

Note:

If the phone automatically turns off because the battery level is too low, you must charge the battery until the phone turns on automatically.

Memory Card

Your device supports optional, removable, microSD or microSDHC memory cards (not included) for storage of music, pictures, and other files.

For more information about using memory cards, see “Phone Storage” on page 98.

Installing a Memory Card

1. Locate the microSD card slot on the side of the phone.

2. Place the card with the gold strips facing down.

3. Carefully slide the optional microSD card into the card

slot (as shown) until it “clicks” into place.

Getting Started 11
