How does the earSmart feature 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.


How do I remove the back cover of the phone?

1. Remove the back cover by inserting a fingernail into the slot on the top of your phone.

2. Lift the cover up and away from the phone.

Caution! Do not remove the rubber seal from the inside of the back cover. Doing so can cause water damage to the device if it gets wet.

Caution! Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.


What is the purpose of a 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 other features.


How do I install the SIM card?

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.

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.

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.


How do I install the battery?

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone, making sure the connectors align.

2. Gently press down to secure the battery.


How can I expand the phone’s memory and what is the maximum supported size?

You can use a microSD™ (SD) or microSDHC™ card 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.

Note: Your phone has been tested to support up to a 128GB memory card.


How do I install or remove a microSD card?

Installing the Memory Card:

Push the microSD card into the slot until it clicks (as shown). The microSD card will fit on top of the SIM card.

• Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the card is securely inserted.

Removing the Memory Card:

1. Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.

2. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the phone.


How do I install the back cover securely?

2. Press along the edge of the back cover until you have a secure seal.

3. To avoid water damage, ensure that the back cover is completely closed by pressing just below the AT&T Logo until you hear a click.

Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before switching on the phone.


How do I charge the battery?

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging the battery, is included with your device. Use only approved batteries and chargers.

Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours. Although you can use the phone while the battery is charging, doing so will require additional charging time.

Important! 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 damage to the phone.

1. Connect the USB cable to the charging head.

2. Lift up on the Charger/Accessory jack cover that covers the port on the bottom of your phone and swing it open.

3. Insert the USB cable into the device’s Charger/Accessory jack.

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.

5. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the interface connector jack on the phone.

Important! Before closing the Charger/Accessory jack cover, check to see if there is any foreign substance such as dust or sand on the rubber seal.

6. Tightly close the multipurpose jack cover when you are finished so that no water can enter the port.


How does the touch screen respond best?

Your 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.


How does the phone indicate a low battery and what happens if it gets too low?

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.

When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.


How can I extend my 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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.

2. Tap Next or Skip to progress to the next page.

How do I maintain the phone’s 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 classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.

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

• 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.


How do I lock and unlock the touch screen?

1. Press the Power/End key to lock the touch screen.
