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.  
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).  
2. Lift the cover up and away from the phone (2).  
Getting Started  
1
       
3. If necessary, remove the battery.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Installing the Battery  
Installing the Memory Card  
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone,  
making sure the connectors align (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.  
2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).  
Removing and Installing the Memory Card  
You can use a microSD(SD) or microSDHCcard 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.  
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on  
page 36.  
Removing the Memory Card  
1. Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.  
Note: Your phone has been tested to support up to a 64GB memory card.

Joining Contacts  
Joining 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.  
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to join to another  
entry). Note: typically this is the same contact with a different  
name or account information.  
3. Press  
Join contact.  
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as  
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Corporate email, and Google. When  
you synchronize your phone with these accounts, each account  
creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.  
The contact list is displayed.  
4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to join). The  
second contact is now joined with the first and the account  
information is merged into one screen.  
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) 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 Yahoo!  
chat account, when you merge these accounts into your Contacts  
list you can join 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 join 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.
