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.

Text Conventions

This manual provides condensed information about how to

use your device. To make this possible, the following text

conventions are used to represent often-used steps:

 Arrows are used to represent the sequence of

selecting successive options in longer, or

repetitive, procedures. For example:

From a Home screen, touch Apps 

Settings  My device tab  Display 

Screen timeout.

Certain features and options use an ON/OFF

button.

For example:

Touch the ON/OFF button to turn Bluetooth on or

off.

Removing the Back Cover

Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM

into their corresponding internal compartments. The microSD

card slot is also located in this same internal area.

Caution! Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively.

Doing so may damage the cover.

To remove the back cover:

1. Place your fingernail into the slot in the side of the

cover (1). If you have fragile nails, use a pointed object.

2. Pull the cover up and then lift up and away from the

phone (2).

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.

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.

 Carefully slide the SIM card under the bottom metal

plate 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 angled corner of the card is

positioned as shown.

Getting Started 8

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 an optional microSD memory card:

 Carefully slide the memory card under the top metal

plate into the memory card socket, as shown, until the

card locks into place.

Installing the Battery

phone, making sure the connectors align (1).

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

Replacing the Back Cover

1. Place the battery cover onto the back of the phone (1)

and press down (2).

2. Press along the edge of the back cover (3) until you

have a secure seal.

Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before

switching on the phone.

Getting Started 10

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.

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.

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 battery 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

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 110

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

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 that 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.

3. Touch Rename to change the name of the paired

device.
