Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery
provides up to 3 hours of continuous digital talk time or
approximately 8 days of continuous digital standby time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, low signal strength, searching for service,
vibrate mode, playing games, or browser use affect the battery’s talk and
standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
To install the LiIon battery:
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone

TTY Use With Handset
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard
of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with selected TTY devices. Please check
with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports
digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will
connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack.
If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY
device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
Note: Not all service providers support TTY. Consult your service
provider for more information.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press
followed by
. (A brief
explanation of TTY Mode will display.)
2. Press again to continue.
3. Press the navigation key up or down to select TTY On or
TTY Off and press to save and exit.
Phone Basics 28
Note: In TTY Mode when your headset is plugged in, your phone will
display the TTY access icon. If TTY mode is enabled, the headset cannot
be used.
IMPORTANT 911 Emergency Calling: We recommend that TTY users
make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and land line communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public
safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. The wireless industry and PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.

• Lookup <Name>
• Go To <App>
• Check <Item>
When it recognizes one of these commands, the phone launches the
associated application. If the phone does not hear a command within

Call <Name or #>
Call <Name or #> allows you to dial any valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North
American phone number by speaking the number naturally, without
pausing between the digits. It also allows you to dial by pronouncing
a name stored in your Contacts.
Tips for using Call <Name or #>:
• Voice Service works best in quieter environments.
• When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say each
digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.
• The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not recognize
numbers such as "one eight hundred" for "1-800." Instead, say
"one-eight-zero-zero."
• The phone recognizes only valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North
American phone numbers.
• If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when
you are using Voice Service, try adapting Voice Service to your
voice, which can significantly improve accuracy for some
speakers. (See "Sensitivity" on page 42 for details.)

than one number associated with it, the phone displays the
different locations (Home, Work, Mobile, Pager, Others)
and asks you which one to dial. Say one of the location
names and the phone will dial the number for the location
you specified.
Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a name or
number. Make sure that the number is a valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North

Digit Dialing
Voice Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no initial
training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or
unusual voice characteristics may encounter difficulty in achieving
high accuracy with speaker independent Voice Dialing. The Adapt
Digits feature allows users to dramatically improve the digit accuracy
through adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit recognition
accuracy will gain no additional benefit performing the Adapt Digit
adaptation.
After you adapt Voice Service, your phone will be customized to your
voice. Other people may not be able to use Voice Service on your
phone accurately unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.
: ONLY adapt Voice Service if the system is frequently mis-
recognizing your speech. You can always restore the system to its
original factory setting.
Note
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the
system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.
Tips for adapting Voice Service:
• Perform the adaptation in a quiet place.
• Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.
• Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.
• If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or
if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you
can say or select No when the prompt asks, “Did the recording
sound OK?” You will then be prompted to re-record the
sequence.

tone of voice. (The phone plays back your recording and
asks you if the recording sounds "OK.")

background noises), say Yes.
• If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems, say
No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)
7. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the
recording process with the next set of digits. In total, there
are 10 sets of numbers. When you are finished with a full
session, you will reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation
Complete.”
Note: It is recommended that you perform the complete adaptation of
Voice Service at least once to achieve the maximum benefit of this

The Wireless Web
Your phone comes equipped with wireless Web access through your
browser. You can view specially designed version of popular sites
which includes sports, weather, news, stock quotes etc.. as well as
downloadable ringtones, screen savers and games. When you launch
the browser, the phone will connect to the Internet and the service
indicator icon will display. Any time the service indicator icon is
visible on the display, you are connected to the Internet and will be
invoiced accordingly.
Note: Rates and pricing vary according to your service plan. Please
contact your service provider for additional information.

Softkeys
When browsing the Web, the bottom line of your phone's display

indicate their function.
To use softkeys, simply press the desired softkey button. If an
additional pop-up menu appears when you press the softkey button,
select the menu items using your keypad (if they’re numbered) or by

appropriate softkey.

the
key on your phone’s keypad, even though the number 0 doesn’t
appear on the screen.
• To go back one page, press
on your phone. (Note that

Safety
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
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.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching,
a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is
active, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it
yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is
activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found,
your phone returns to standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
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.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below. In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120
Safety 168
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government
health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard
in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
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.
• 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.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void
the warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your
Phone
Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
169 Safety
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.
When using your phone in the car:
• 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.
• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions.
• 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.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
divert your attention from the road.
• 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.
Safety 170
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas
where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency
(RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF
signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) 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, FCC regulations prohibit
using your phone while the plane is in the air.
171 Safety
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
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.
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 could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not
always, clearly marked. These areas include:
• Fueling areas such as gas stations.
• Below deck on boats.
• 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.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
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.
Safety 172
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
• 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).
• Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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)
173 Safety
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
service center.
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.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.
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.
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.
Information to User

of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
Safety 174
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient / relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless 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.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much
RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest
value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of
a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC.
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.
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.
175 Safety
The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-m500 are:
CDMA mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.410 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.322 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.440 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.706 W/kg
