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  
at an angle, making sure the plastic tab on the bottom of the

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

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.

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.

6. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a normal  
tone of voice. (The phone plays back your recording and  
asks you if the recording sounds "OK.")  
If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no  
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  
feature. If a partial adaptation is performed, you can always return later  
and resume the process from the half way point.

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.  
Launching the Browser  
Note: The first time you use the Browser, you will be prompted to go  
through a setup process that takes approximately three minutes.  
To launch a web connection:  
Press  
, followed by  
home page provided by your carrier.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
If you had a previous web connection, the last page you visited will  
be displayed when you launch your browser. When this occurs, you  
may not see the "Connecting as..." message when you launch the  
session. Though the browser is open, you are not currently in an  
active data session - that is, no data is being sent or received. As  
soon as you navigate to another page, the active session will launch  
and you will see the "Connecting" message.  
Web Connection Status and Indicators  
Your phone's display lets you know the current status of your web  
connection through indicators which appear at the top of the screen.  
The following symbols are used:  
Indicates that you are in a high-speed EV-DO coverage area.  
When the arrows are moving, data is being transferred over  
the EV-DO network. Incoming voice calls go directly to  
Voicemail; outgoing voice calls can be made, but the web  
connection will terminate.  
Your web connection is active using the 1X network (data is  
being transferred). The 1X network is not as quick as EV-DO.  
Incoming voice calls go directly to Voicemail; outgoing voice  
calls can be made, but the web connection will terminate.  
Navigating the Wireless Web  
Navigating through menus and Web sites during a web session is  
easy once you've learned a few basics. Here are some tips for getting  
around:  
Web 60  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Softkeys  
When browsing the Web, the bottom line of your phone's display  
contains one or more softkeys. These keys are shortcut controls for  
navigating around the Web, and they correspond to the softkey  
buttons directly below the phone’s display screen. Depending on  
which Web sites you visit, the labels on the softkeys may change to  
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  
highlighting the option and pressing  
.
Scrolling  
As with other parts of your phone's menu, you'll have to scroll up  
and down to see everything on some Web sites.  
Press the navigation key up and down to scroll line by line or  
press the volume buttons on the side of the phone to scroll one  
page at a time.  
Navigating Between Web Pages  
Once you've learned how to use softkeys and scroll, you can start  
navigating Web sites.  
Select on-screen items by using the navigation key to highlight  
the desired item, then press the desired softkey button (or  
press  
).  
You'll find that the left softkey  
is used primarily for selecting  
items. This softkey is often labeled OK or Go.  
If the items on a page are numbered, you can use your keypad  
(number keys) to select an item.  
61 Web  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Links, which appear as underlined text, allow you to jump to different  
Web pages, select special functions, or even place phone calls.  
Select links by highlighting the link and then selecting the  
appropriate softkey.  
Tip: The tenth item in a numbered list may be selected by pressing  
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  
is also used like a BACKSPACE key to delete text.)  
Using the Menu to Navigate  
By pressing the Menu softkey, you can navigate between web pages.  
Press the Menu softkey and select one of the following options:  
1. Home to return to the carrier’s home page  
2. Forward one web page (if you have not returned back from  
a previous web page, this option is greyed out)  
3. Mark this page to create a Bookmark

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  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits  
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

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  
that to which the receiver is connected.  
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
