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.

Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall
charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with
your phone. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your
local Samsung dealer for further details.
Before using your phone for the first time, you must fully charge
the battery. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately
4 hours.
Note:
Verify that the battery is installed prior to connecting the wall charger.
If the battery is not installed and the wall charger is connected, the
handset power cycles continuously preventing proper operation.
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can
cause the phone to become damaged.
Important!:
Although the battery comes partially charged. It is recommended
you fully charge the battery before using your device for the first
time.
1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.
2. Slide open the Charger/Accessory jack cover (1).
3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory
jack (2).
4. Plug the charging head into a standard AC power outlet.
The device turns on with the screen locked and indicates
both its charge state and percent of charge.

Getting Started 12
Note:
This illustration displays both the
correct
and incorrect orientation for
connecting the charger. If the charger is incorrectly connected,
damage to the accessory port will occur therefore voiding the phone’s
warranty.
5. When charging is finished, first unplug the charger’s power
plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger’s
connector from the phone.
Important!:
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 or a non-metallic stylus. 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 223.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning tone sounds and the “Low battery” message
repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this condition, your
phone conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming the
backlight.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.

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:
Use the Power Control shortcut bar.
Reduce your backlight on time.
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.
Turn off Automatic application sync.
Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware functions such
as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
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.
Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background
applications that are still running. These minimized applications can,
over time, cause your device to “slow down”.
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power.
Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or
Gallery image.
Power Control
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,
Location consent, or the LCD Brightness functionality all act to
drain your battery.
The Power Control shortcut bar was designed to quickly activate
(turn on), or deactivate (turn off) those functions or applications
that use the most battery power.
1. From the Home screen,
touch and hold an empty
area until the
Add to Home
screen
menu displays.
2. Tap
Widgets
Power
control
. The Power Control
shortcut is added to the
current screen.
Getting Started 14
3.
Tap any of the icons on the Power Control shortcut bar to
activate/deactivate the feature.
Note:
A green bar displayed beneath the icon means the application is active
(turned on). The green bar is removed from beneath the icon when the
feature is deactivated (turned off).
Switching the Phone On or Off
If you do not have a SIM card installed the first time you turn on
the device, the
Insert SIM card to make calls
