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.

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.
Setting Up Your Phone
Prior to use it is necessary to install both the battery and SIM into their
corresponding internal compartments.
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the battery cover in the
direction of the arrow (1).
2. Lift the cover up and off the phone (2).

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.
•Carefully slide the SIM card under the metal bracket and into the
SIM card socket until the card locks into place.
• Make sure 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 does not detect the SIM card.
Re-orient the card back into the slot.

3
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).
3. Replace the battery cover on the back of the phone (1) and slide
it into place until you hear it securely click (2).

4
Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.
Installing a Memory Card
Your phone also supports the use of a memory card (microSD) for data
storage of such things as data, music, pictures, and video files. This
type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and
other devices.
1. 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.
Note: Your device has been tested to support up to a 16GB memory card.

5
Charging a Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel
Adapter that is used to charge the battery is included with your phone.
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use,
and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.
You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but it will require
additional charging time.
Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A
discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Travel Adapter
1. With the battery installed, temporarily open the plastic cover (upper
right side of 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.
Note: The wall charger’s connector attaches to the phone at a slight angle.

6
2. Plug the small connector of the Travel Adapter into the Power/
Accessory Interface connector as shown and the other end into
a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When charging is finished, remove the connector- 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.
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 by reducing the backlight’s brightness and
entering a 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. Five bars ( ) indicate a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns
off.

7
Switching the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold until the phone switches on.
The phone launches the activation splash screen and then
proceeds to search for the network. Once the network has been
found, you can make or receive calls.
Note: The display language is preset to English at the factory. To change the
language, use the Language menu. For more information, refer to “Changing
Your Settings” on page 115.
2. Press and hold until the phone switches off.
Setting Up Your Voice Mail
1. In Idle mode, press and hold .
You may be prompted to enter a password.
2. Follow the tutorial to create a password, record a greeting, and
record your name.
Note: These steps may be different depending on your network.

8
