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.

so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach
of small children.

Your device supports removable microSD or microSDHC
memory cards with maximum capacities of 64 GB
(depending on the memory card manufacturer and type).

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.
