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 both the wall charger is connected and the battery is not installed,
the handset will power cycle continuously and prevent proper
operation. Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause the phone to become damaged.
Important!:
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. Locate the Charger/Accessory jack (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.
Warning!:
While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function
due to an unstable power supply unplug the USB power adapter
from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.

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 252.
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:
•
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 Savings 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”.
•
Turn off any streaming services after use (see Running Services).
•
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power.
Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or
Gallery image.
Power Savings
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,
Location consent, or the LCD Brightness functionality all act to

Task Manager
Your device can run applications simultaneously, with some
applications running in the background.
Sometimes your device might seem to slow down over time, and
the biggest reason for this are background applications. These
are applications that were not properly closed or shutdown and
are still active but minimized. The Task Manager not only lets you
see which of these applications are still active in the background
but also easily lets you choose which applications are left
running and which are closed.

The larger the number of applications running on your phone, the
larger the energy drain on your battery.

Joining Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts (such as
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync,
Google, or T-Mobile). When you synchronize your phone with
those accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in
the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email account
that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook account
under her maiden and married name, as well as a Video! chat
account, when you merge those accounts into your Contacts list
you can join all of her entries and view the information in one
record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You
can select any account email address or information all from one
screen, versus searching multiple, individual screens to locate
the desired account information.
Next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts, any
updates contacts make to email account names, email
addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
1. From the Home screen, tap .
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to another
entry) to reveal the
Contact entry’s Overview Screen
.
Note:
Typically this is the same contact with a different name or account
information.
3. Press and then tap
Join contact
.
4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to link).
The second contact is now linked with the first and the
account information is merged into one screen.
Note:
The information is still maintained in both entries, but displays in one
record for easier viewing when you link the contacts.
Important!:
It is the second contact image that is displayed for both, but the
first contact’s name that is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with Julie (second
entry). Julie appears to disappear and only Amy remains. Tap the
Amy entry (showing the Julie image) to view both.
Contacts 92
5. Tap the main linked contact to view the contact
information you linked. The contacts and information

4. Tap next to the entry you want to unjoin. The
contacts are “unjoined” or separated and no longer display
in the merged record screen. Both contacts now go back to
being separately displayed.
Marking a Contact as Default
When you use applications such as the Voice Dialer or other
messaging type applications, the application needs to know
which information is primary (default) in a contact entry list. For
example, when you say “Call John Smith”, if you have three
phone records for John Smith, the Voice dialer is looking for the
“default” number or entry.
The
Mark as default
option marks one entry in a contact record to
use as the default. This comes in handy when you have multiple
entries for the same person.
1. From the Home screen, tap .
2. Tap a Contact entry.
3. Press and then tap
Mark as default
. The Mark as
default screen displays radio buttons next to the contact
name, phone number, or other contact information.

to be the primary information (such as name, phone
number, or email) and select
Save
.
Note:
If there are multiple phone numbers assigned to an entry, assigning
one as the default will automatically dial that number when the contact
is selected for dialing.

used in large networks and commercial settings. IMAP4 is the current
standard.
•
POP3
(Post Office Protocol) - This protocol is supported by most ISPs
