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.

Section 1: Getting Started
This section explains how to start using your phone by
configuring your hardware, setting up accounts, and setting
up your voice mail.
Understanding This User Manual
The sections of this manual generally follow the features of
your device. A robust index for features begins on page 215
.
This manual gives navigation instructions according to the
default display settings. If you select other settings,
navigation steps may be different.
Unless otherwise specified, all instructions in this manual
assume that you are starting from a Home screen. To
get to a
Home screen, you may need to unlock the device. For more
information, refer to “Locking and Unlocking the Touch
Screen” on page 12.
Note:
Instructions in this manual are based on default settings
and may vary from your device depending on the
software version on your device and any changes to the
device’s settings.
Note:
Unless stated otherwise, instructions in this user manual
start with the device unlocked, at the Home screen.
All screen images in this manual are simulated. Actual
displays may vary depending on the software version of
your device and any changes to the device’s settings.

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:
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. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into
the slot on the top of your phone (1) then lift the cover
up (2).
7
Installing the SIM and MicroSD Cards
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. You can also install a MicroSD card (memory
card) to hold additional media (optional).
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.
1. Carefully slide the SIM card under the bottom metal
plate into the SIM card socket (as shown).
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.
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.
2. To insert a MicroSD card (optional), carefully slide the
MicroSD card under the top metal plate into the
MicroSD card socket (as shown).
Getting Started 8
Installing the Battery
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the
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.
9
Charging the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger, which is used to charge the battery, is
included with your device. 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.
Getting Started 10
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 c
harge on the battery.
