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 first
configuring your hardware, activating your service, and then
setting up your voice mail.
2. Lift the cover up (2) and to the right of the phone.
Setting Up Your Phone
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.
1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into
the slot on the top of your phone (1).
Caution! Do not remove the rubber seal from the inside of the
back cover. Doing so can cause water damage to the
device if it gets wet.
Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively.
Doing so may damage the cover.
6

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.
 Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket
(as shown) until the card locks into place.
• 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.
Getting Started 7

Installing the Battery
Important! The battery provided with your device contains a
Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna. To
ensure proper operation of the NFC features, do
not use any other battery in your device.
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).
Removing and Installing the Memory Card
You can use a microSD(SD) or microSDHCcard to
expand available memory space if you desire. This secure
digital card enables you to exchange images, music, and
data between SD-compatible devices. This type of memory
card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other
devices.
Note: Your phone has been tested to support up to a 64GB
memory card.
Installing the Memory Card
 Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as
shown).
• Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and
the card is securely inserted.

cover as shown (1).
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card”
on page 38.
Removing the Memory Card
1. Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.
2. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.
Installing the Back Cover
Note: Before closing the cover, check to see if there is any
foreign substance such as dust or sand between the
rubber on the back of the cover and the sealing area.
2. Ensure that all the hooks inside the cover (2) are
properly aligned and tightly closed.
3. To avoid water damage, ensure that the back cover is
completely closed by pressing just below the flash (3)
until you hear a click.
Getting Started 9

Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.
Charging a Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Travel Charger that 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 will require additional charging time.
Using the Travel Charger
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.
1. Lift up on the multipurpose jack cover that covers the
port on the bottom of your phone and swing it open (1).
10

Caution! Be careful not to damage or detach the multipurpose
jack cover. A damaged or missing cover can result in
water damage to the device.
2. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power/
Accessory Interface port (2) and the other end into a
standard AC wall outlet.
3. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from
the interface connector port on the phone.
Important! Before closing the multipurpose jack cover, check
to see if there is any foreign substance such as
dust on sand on the rubber seal.
4. Tightly close the multipurpose jack cover when you are
finished so that no water can enter the port.
Warning! 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. For more
information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty”
on page 224.
Important! Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery, can cause damage to the
phone.
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.
