    Your phone features earSmart™, an inte lligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice experience, allowing you to 
    hear and be 
    heard
    ™ in nearly any environment. earSmart technology uses the sc ience of human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your 
    voice and suppress surrounding noise, for cl ear 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.
