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 Head

USB
Cable

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 device to
become damaged.

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.
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 device.
6. If you are using the older style USB 2.0 cable to charge your battery, plug the flat end of the cable into the
smaller port in the device’s Charger/Accessory jack.
7. 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.
Caution! Before closing the Charger/Accessory jack cover, check to see if there is any foreign substance such
as dust on sand on the rubber seal.

Switching the Device On or Off
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.

Maintaining water and dust resistance
This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress Protection rating system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of
protection), and the water resistance rating is 7 (water resistant up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes). Despite this

To turn the device off:

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.

1. Press and hold

● Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.

2. Tap

● Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to water over 1 meter deep for more than 30
minutes. If your device is exposed to salt water, wash the device with fresh water then dry thoroughly with
a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries, salt may accumulate and block the microphone, earpiece,
and speaker.
● When drying off your device, be sure to pat the earpiece (top front of phone), microphone (bottom of
phone), and speaker (rear of phone) with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as possible.
● When making a call immediately after your device is wet, the microphone may have water in it which may
lower the volume that the other person will hear. After drying off the device, allow the device to air‑dry
before making a call.
● The back and multipurpose jack covers may be loosened slightly if the device is dropped or receives an
impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise, they may not provide
protection from water and dust.
● Always keep the multipurpose jack cover clean and be careful to avoid damaging it.
Note: The touch screen may not be active in water.

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 the time your backlight stays on.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi‑Fi off when not in use.
● Deactivate your GPS functionality 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.
● Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions.
● 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.

Contact Entry Options

Linking Contact Information

1. From the Contacts screen, tap an entry to reveal the Contact entry’s Overview Screen. This screen contains
Name, contact numbers, email, and linked 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. 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 device 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

Apps g

Contacts.

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.

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.

● Link contacts: allows you to link the current contact to another current contact.
● Mark as default: allows you to mark one entry in a contact record to use as the default (page 35).
● Share name card: allows you to send contact information as an attachment using an available option (page
35).
● Send contact information: allows you select specific elements of an existing contact (name, Mobile number,
email, etc..) and send them to a recipient via a text message. This option does not send the entire Contact
entry but only selected elements.
● Add to reject list: allows you to add an entry’s number to the reject list.
● Add shortcut to home screen: adds a shortcut to the current Contacts entry to an available screen location.

Important! It is the first contact image that is displayed for both, and the first contact’s name that is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with Julie (second entry). Julie seems to disappear and
only Amy remains. Tap the Amy entry (showing the Amy image) to view both.

displayed.

Copying Contact Information

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 Contacts screen, tap a Contact entry.
2. Tap
Menu g Mark as default. The Mark as default screen displays radio buttons next to the contact
name, phone number, or other contact information.
3. Tap the radio button next to the entry information you want 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.
