When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, 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

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 select 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.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press
followed by the left
softkey . (A brief explanation of TTY Mode will display.)
2. Press the left softkey again to continue.
3. Press the navigation key up or down to select Enable TTY
or Disable TTY and press to save and exit.
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. This matter has been brought to
the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve this.

Roaming
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
network. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on
where you’re using your phone.
Roaming Indicator
Analog Indicator
Network
Other Digital Networks
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming, your call quality and security will be similar to
the quality you receive when making calls on your home network. You
may not be able to access certain features, such as web services.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some
features, such as Mobile Browser and Voice Command, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail.
You will experience a few differences:
• You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out,
and dropped calls.
Roaming 32
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• Some features which are standard on the network, such as call
waiting, web browser, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.
• Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the
network. While roaming, you can periodically check your
voicemail for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your
Phone Number. Press
when you hear your greeting and
enter your passcode at the prompt.
• There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
• Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your
phone in analog mode, whether in network or roaming.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the network and enter an area
where roaming is available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in
an area where you think service is available, turn your phone Off and On
again to reconnect to the network.

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:
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
77 Web Services

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.
• If the items on a page are numbered, you can use your keypad
(number keys) to select an item.
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 Voice Dial
Voice Dial 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 Voice Dial:
• Voice Dial 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 Dial, try adapting Voice Dial to your voice,
which can significantly improve accuracy for some speakers.
(See "Changing Voice Dial Sensitivity" on page 91 for details.)
To place a call using Voice Dial:
1. Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding
.
(The phone prompts you for a command.)
2. Say Voice Dial. (The phone prompts you to say the number
or Contact name.)
3. Say either a name stored in your Contacts or a valid 7, 10 or
11 digit North American phone number naturally and
clearly.
Voice Services 86

4. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the correct
number, say Yes. (You can also select the correct number
from those displayed on the screen by pressing
on the
correct number. The phone will then dial the number.)
5. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an
incorrect number, say No. (If there are other alternatives,
the phone will prompt you with the next one. You can also
press the navigation key up or down to select the correct
number from the Choice List, and then press
to dial.)
6. Alternatively, you can call a person in your Contacts by
saying the full name of the person you want to call, exactly
as it is entered in your Contacts. (The phone plays the name
through the earpiece and displays it on the screen.)
• If you said a name listed in your Contacts that has more
than one number associated with it, the phone displays the
different locations (Home, Work, Mobile, Pager, Fax) 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
American phone number, and then say the number again. If the number
isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't understand the number on the
second try, it will not place a call.

2. Say Contacts. (The phone will prompt you to say the
name.)
3. Say the full name of the person, exactly as it is entered in
your Contacts. (The phone will play the name it recognized
through the speaker, and then open the contact information
for that name.)
• If the phone says, "Did You Say," followed by an incorrect
name, say No. The phone then prompts you with the next
name, if there is one. If there are no more names, the phone
will say "Sorry, No Match Found."

Customizing Voice Dial
Adapting Voice Dial
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 Dial, your phone will be customized to your
voice. Other people may not be able to use Voice Dial on your phone
accurately unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.
: ONLY adapt Voice Dial if the system is frequently mis-
Note
recognizing your speech. You can always restore the system to its
original factory setting.
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the
system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.
Tips for adapting Voice Dial:
• Perform the adaptation in a quiet place.
• Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.
89 Voice Services
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• 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.

. (The
phone prompts you to say the first sequence of digits.)
7. 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.)
8. 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.”

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
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government
health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after
Safety 128
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
• Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and
over your shoulder.
• Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
• Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
• 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 BMC 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.

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.
Safety 130

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,
131 Safety
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
Safety 132
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• 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
BMC 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.

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.
The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-a740 are:
AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.28 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.25 W/kg
Digital mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.05 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.04 W/kg
