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.

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.
•
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.

Contact Overview Screen
Linking Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts. When
you synchronize your phone with those accounts, each
account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email
account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook
account under her maiden and married name, as well as a
Video! chat account, when you merge those accounts into
your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the
information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy.
You can select any account email address or information all
from one screen, versus searching multiple, individual
screens to locate the desired account information.
Next time you synchronize your device with your accounts,
any updates contacts make to email account names, email
addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.

the contacts.

Marking a Contact as Default
When you use applications such as the Voice Dialer or other
messaging type applications, the application needs to know

For example, when you say “Call John Smith”, if you have
three phone records for John Smith, the Voice dialer is
looking for the “default” number or entry.

Sharing Pictures
Pictures are the best way of remembering the moment, but
an even better treat is to share them with others.
Two new features allow you to either instantly share a series
of pictures as they are taken or quickly share a picture
without using email or messaging.
•
Share Shot
is a great way to instantly share a series of pictures
among a group of users. The best example for this feature is
having multiple users instantly sharing each others pictures at a
company or family gathering. As each person takes a separate
picture with their own device, they are all pooled together and
instantly appear in each user’s Gallery.
No more “Email your pictures to me later”. Each person walks out
of the event with all the pictures taken by everyone.
This method of image transfer requires that both devices have
Wi-Fi Direct active and be paired prior to use.
Note:
You can only share a shot with other external users who
also have their Wi-Fi Direct feature active.
•
S Beam Transfer
uses the NFC (near Field Communication)
feature found on your device to transmit large files directly to
another compatible device by
direct touch
.
This method of image transfer requires NFC and S Beam to be
enabled prior to use.
For more information, refer to
“Using S Beam to Share
Pictures”
on page 131.
Multimedia 128
Enabling Share Shot
Share shot is a Wi-Fi Direct group sharing feature where
multiple users can Wi-Fi connect their devices and then all
share each others pictures in real-time. This is really useful
in group events (ex: family gathering or company party)
where you don’t want to have to email everyone later and
make sure you all can share your pics at a later date.
For more information, refer to “Wi-Fi Direct Setup and
Settings” on page 230.
The general process is:
•
Enable Wi-Fi Direct communication
•
Pair your device with other users
•
Enable Share shot
To enable Wi-Fi Direct:
Important!
The target device must already be connected to the
same Wi-Fi and have its Wi-Fi Direct feature active
and scanning before you can your pairing.

Before You Start Exercising
This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While
moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, is safe for
most people, health experts suggest that you talk with your
doctor before you start an exercise program, particularly if
you have any of the following conditions:
•
Heart disease;
•
Asthma or lung disease;
•
Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;
•
Arthritis.
You should also check with your doctor if you have symptoms
suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious disease, such as:
•
Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms during
physical activity;
•
Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
•
Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or when lying
down or going to bed;
•
Ankle swelling, especially at night;
•
A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;
•
Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that goes away
when you rest.
Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine
recommends that you see your doctor before engaging in
vigorous exercise if two or more of the following apply:
•
You are a man older than age 45 or a woman older than age 55;
•
You have a family history of heart disease before age 55;
•
You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;
•
You have not exercised for three months or more;
•
You are overweight or obese;
•
You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
•
You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called pre-diabetes.
When in Doubt - Check it Out
If you are unsure of your health status, have several health
problems, or are pregnant, you should speak with your
doctor before starting a new exercise program. Working with
your doctor ahead of time is a good way to plan an exercise
program that is right and safe for you. Consider it the first
step on your path to physical fitness.

Samsung Hub Notices
•
Any media item (Media Content) may be rented or purchased after
you create an account in Samsung Hub.
•
Media Content that is purchased and downloaded may be viewed
concurrently on up to five (5) devices with Samsung Hub (or “the
service”) that are also registered to the same account.
•
You may remove a device from your account no more than once
every 90 days.
•
You may remove Media Content from a device as many times as
you’d like. You will have the ability to re-download the Media
Content later subject to content re-download availability and
content provider permissions.
•
You may need network coverage to access Media Content you
have acquired through the Service.
•
You can use 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connectivity to download Media
Content.
•
Unlike purchased Media Content, rented Media Content will be
viewable on only 1 device in your account at a time.
•
Media Content is downloaded and saved to your authorized
device's SD card. No SD Card included out of box.
191
•
Your Media Content may pause/stop or not download in networks
where there is a weak signal.

In no event will rented Media Content be available for a period
of more than thirty (30) days (or shorter on a title-by-title basis)
after the Media Content has been rented (e.g., if you begin
viewing rented Media Content on the 29th day after the rental
transaction, but do not finish viewing the entire title, that rented
Media Content may not be available for the entire twenty-four
(24) consecutive hour period if such period would extend the
viewable time beyond the thirty (30) day rental window).
