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.

doing so will require additional charging time.  
Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before  
Using the Travel Charger  
switching on the 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.  
Charging the 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: 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.  
Correct  
Incorrect  
1. Plug the flat end of the Travel Charger into the Power/  
Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a  
standard AC wall outlet.  
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone  
automatically turns off.  
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the  
interface connector jack on the phone.  
You can also choose to display a percentage value. Having a  
percentage value on-screen can provide a better idea of the  
remaining charge on the battery.  
Warning! 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. Using excessive  
force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch  
screen may damage the tempered glass surface and  
void the warranty.

Linking Contacts  
Linking Contact Information  
1. From the Home screen, tap Contacts  
.
Many 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.

another entry). Typically this is the same contact with a  
different name or account information.  
3. Press  
Link contact.  
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as  
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Corporate email, and Google.

email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a  
Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as  
well as a Yahoo! chat account, when you merge these  
accounts into your Contacts list you can link all of her entries  
and view the information in one record.  
Note: The information is still maintained in both entries, but  
displays in one record for easier viewing when you link  
the contacts.  
The next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts,  
any updates that contacts make to email account names,  
email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts  
list.

Networks (WLAN). These device types use an 802.11 wireless  
specification to transmit and receive wireless data. Wi-Fi  
communication requires access to an existing and accessible  
Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either be  
Open (unsecured) as within most Hot Spots, or Secured  
(requiring knowledge of the Router name and password).

Unless otherwise restricted by the Content Providers, you can  
download Media Content to your TV using HDMI connections;  
otherwise, you cannot play Media Content downloaded from your  
mobile device output.  
You may begin watching downloaded Media Content as soon as a)  
license acquisition has occurred and b) sufficient amount of the  
Media Content has been buffered.  
Samsung Link  
You must finish watching Media Content within the time limit set out  
for each piece of content (which may be as short as 24 consecutive  
hours).  
This application wirelessly synchronizes your Samsung device  
with your TV, streams content, and even keeps tabs on who  
calls or sends text messages with real-time, on-screen  
monitoring. Samsung Link makes staying connected easy.  
Stopping, pausing or restarting rented Media Content does  
not extend the available viewing time.  
Samsung Link allows users to share their in-device media  
content with other external devices using DLNA certified™  
(Digital Living Network Alliance) Devices. These external  
devices must also be DLNA-compliant. Wi-Fi capability can be  
provided to TVs via a digital multimedia streamer.  
In no event will rented Media Content be available for a period  
of more than thirty (30) days (or shorter on a title-by-title  
basis) after the Media Content has been rented (e.g., if you  
begin viewing rented Media Content on the 29th day after the  
rental transaction, but do not finish viewing the entire title, that  
rented Media Content may not be available for the entire  
twenty-four (24) consecutive hour period if such period would  
extend the viewable time beyond the thirty (30) day rental  
window).

Section 10: Health and Safety  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If  
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and  
remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a dealer store or  
call Customer Support for service.  
GettingtheMostOutofYourReception  
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the  
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the  
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to  
the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the  
stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a  
window may give you better reception.  
Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized  
personnel should service your phone and accessories.  
Faulty service may void the warranty.  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
MaintainingSafeUseofandAccessto  
Your Phone  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When  
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)  
signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your  
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006  
watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious  
personal injury and possible property damage.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone  
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some  
jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember  
that safety always comes first.  
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
There are several simple guidelines for operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
170  
           
When using your phone in the car:  
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial  
and re-dial.  
When available, use a hands-free device.  
Position your phone within easy reach.  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving. If  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather  
conditions.  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent  
possible interference with aircraft systems, Transport Canada  
regulations require you to have permission from a crew  
member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.  
To prevent any risk of interference, regulations prohibit using  
your phone while the plane is in the air.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. If possible, place calls when  
stationary or before pulling into traffic.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may  
divert your attention from the road.  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your  
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.  
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set  
off explosives.  
Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless  
phone.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless  
number when necessary.  
Turn off your phone when you are in an area with a  
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your  
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks  
Health and Safety

could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily  
injury or even death. These areas are often, but not  
always, clearly marked.  
Warning Regarding Display  
The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and  
could break if your handset is dropped or if it receives  
significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or cracked as  
this could cause injury to you.  
These areas include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,  
dust, or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off  
your vehicle’s engine.  
Use only Samsung approved batteries and desktop chargers.  
These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other  
batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures  
that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).  
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or  
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
contains your phone or its accessories.  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity  
areas, such as the bathroom.  
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play  
with it because they could hurt themselves and others,  
damage the phone, dial 911 by mistake, or make calls that  
increase your phone bill.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long  
period of time.  
172  
     
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable  
performance. When used correctly, the battery can be recharged  
hundreds of times before it needs replacing.  
Acknowledging Special Precautions  
and Industry Canada Notice  
Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this  
equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment.  
Only use approved batteries, antennas, and chargers. The  
use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and  
void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or  
a defect to the phone.  
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of  
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month:  
-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)  
More than one month:  
-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your  
nearest service center.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,  
bending, or sitting on it.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In  
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business  
trash may be prohibited.  
Information to User  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the  
limits of a Class B digital device. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in

highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in  
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than  
the level reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a  
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station  
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to  
remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines.  
Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.  
Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that  
to which the receiver is connected.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates  
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in  
SAR values between different model phones do not mean  
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal  
standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the  
public.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.  
Warning! At very high volumes, prolonged listening to a headset  
The highest reported SAR values for the I527M are:

Phones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of  
RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless  
handset.

This phone has been tested and meets RF exposure  
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no  
metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.0
