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.

2. Lift the cover up (2) and to the right of the phone.
Installing the SIM Card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided
with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details,
such as
your PIN, available optional services, and many
others features.
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.
Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket,
as shown, until the card locks into place.
Caution! 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.
9
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.
Installing a MicroSD Card
Your device supports removable microSD or microSDHC
memory cards with maximum capacities of 64 GB
(depending on the memory card manufacturer and type).
Memory cards are used to store music, photos, videos, and
other files.
Note: You can only store music files that you own (from a CD
or purchased with the device) on a memory card.
To insert a MicroSD card, which is optional:
1. Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as
shown).
2. Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face
downward and the card is securely inserted.
Getting Started 10

For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card”
on page 49.

11

1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)
and press down (2).
Note: Make su
re the battery is properly installed before

Getting Started 12
Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger, which is used to charge the battery, is
included with your phone. Use only Samsung-approved
batteries and chargers.
Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges
fully in approximately 4 hours.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, web 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.
Using the Travel Charger
To use the Travel Charger:
1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger (1) into the
Power/Accessory Interface connector and the other
end (2) into a standard AC wall outlet.
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from
the interface connector jack on the phone.
13
Note: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove
the battery, can cause damage to the phone.
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.
Warning! 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. 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 234.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, the battery icon
(
)
blinks and the device sounds a
warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your
phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning
off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. 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. Solid color (
)
indicates a full charge.
When the batter
y level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a
percentage value onscreen can provide a better idea of the
remaining charge on the battery.
From
a Home screen, touch

2. From the Bluetooth settings screen, touch Scan to
search for visible external Bluetooth-compatible
devices such as headsets, devices, printers, and
computers.
Pairing Bluetooth Devices
Use the Bluetooth pairing process to establish a trusted
connection between your device and another Bluetooth
device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey,
allowing for fast, secure connections while bypassing the
discovery and authentication process.
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. Touch Scan. Your device will display a list of
discovered in-range Bluetooth devices.
3. Touch a device from the list to initiate pairing.
4. Enter the passkey or PIN code, if needed, and
touch OK.
5. The external device will then have to also accept the
connection and enter your device’s PIN code.
Note: Due to different specifications and features of other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations
may be different, and functions such as transfer or
exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth
compatible devices.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time
process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode again.
Connections 124
Rename or Unpair a Paired Device
Unpair a paired device to break the connection between the
device and your phone, but retain the knowledge of the
pairing. At a later point when you want to reconnect the
device, there is no need to setup the connection
information again.
Note: Disconnections often occur automatically if the
paired device goes out of range of your phone or it
is powered off. Upon reconnection, you may be
required to re-enter all the previous pairing information.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings screen, touch next to
the previously paired device. This opens the connected
device’s menu options.
