Dynamic Noise Suppression from Audience
Your phone is equipped with an advanced voice processing chip that delivers clear mobile calls by suppressing
background noise, intermittent sounds (like a siren or nearby conversation), and echoes, allowing you to hear and
be heard nearly anywhere.
How Does It Work?
Based on the intelligence of the human hearing system, the technology:
• Captures, evaluates and distinguishes all the sound signals surrounding your phone, and the person you're speaking with.
• Then isolates the primary voice in conversation and filters out the background noise - so the person you're calling hears only
your voice, without disturbing background noise.
• Dynamically equalizes and adjusts voice volume to optimize your calling experience, so you can hear clearly and don't need to
speak louder to overcome surrounding noise.
The noise suppression technology is built-in and already enabled in your new mobile phone. So it's ready to provide
unsurpassed voice clarity with every call.

Installing Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging the
battery, is included with your phone. Use only
approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local
Samsung dealer for further details.
Before using your phone for the first time, you must
fully charge the battery. A discharged battery
recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
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 the phone to become
damaged.
Important!: Although the battery comes partially charged, it is
recommended you fully charge the battery before
using it for the first time.

outlet. The device turns on with the screen
locked and indicates both its charge state and
percent of charge.

Important!: If your handset has a touch screen display, please
note that a 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.
For more information, refer to “Standard Limited
Warranty” on page 172.

Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes
of talk time remain, a warning tone sounds and the
“Low battery” message repeats at regular intervals
on the display. In this condition, your phone
conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming
the backlight.
Correct

Incorrect
Note: This illustration displays both the correct and incorrect
orientation for connecting the charger. If the charger is
incorrectly connected, damage to the accessory port will
occur therefore voiding the phone’s warranty.

When charging is finished, first unplug the
charger’s power plug from the AC wall outlet,
then disconnect the charger’s connector from
the phone.

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

Extending Your 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:
• Use the Power Control shortcut bar.
• Reduce your backlight on time.
• 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.
Getting Started

• 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.
• Turn off Automatic application sync.
• Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware
functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,
or LCD brightness setting.
• 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”.

Power Control
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
Synchronization, Location consent, or the LCD
Brightness functionality all act to drain your battery.
The Power Control shortcut bar was designed to
quickly activate (turn on), or deactivate (turn off) those
functions or applications that use the most battery
power.

Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text
input method
when entering characters into your phone. This
section also describes the predictive text entry
system that reduces the amount of key strokes
associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation
detector that can tell if the phone is being held in an
upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape)
orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your phone also provides several on-screen keypad
text entry options to make the task of text entry that
much easier.

Text Input Methods
There are two text input methods available:
• Samsung keypad: an on-screen QWERTY keypad
that can be used in both portrait and landscape
orientation.
• Swype (default): a new way to enter text on touch
screens. Instead of tapping each key, use your
finger to trace over each letter of a word.

Selecting the Text Input Method
The Text Input Method can be assigned from within
one of two locations:

Default Text
Input Method

The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in
both portrait and landscape mode.

Entering Text

Using the Swype Keyboard
Swype™ is the default text input method that allows
you to enter a word by sliding your finger or stylus
from letter to letter, lifting your finger between words.
SWYPE uses error correcting algorithms and a
language model to predict the next word. SWYPE also
includes a touch predictive text system.
The onscreen keyboard options are different between
the Samsung keypad and Swype onscreen input
methods.
Enabling and Configuring SWYPE
If you configure another text input method (Samsung
keypad) you must re-enable SWYPE before using the
SWYPE keyboard.
Even when SWYPE is enabled you can use the onscreen keys by either tapping (main characters) or
touching and holding (alternate characters).

words. When you finish a word, just lift your finger or
stylus and start the next word.
• Auto-capitalization: automatically capitalizes the first
letter of a sentence.
• Show complete trace: sets the length of time the
word trace line remains on-screen as you swipe
across the screen. Move the slider between Shorter or
Longer and tap OK.
• Word choice window: sets the amount of times the
word choice selection window displays on screen.

Swype Text Entry Tips
You can access the SwypeTips application and watch
a video or tutorial on using Swype. You can also use
the following Swype text entry tips.
• Create a squiggle (like an S shape) to create a double
letter (such as pp in apple).
• Touch and hold a key to view the punctuation menu then
make a selection.
• Move your finger or stylus over the apostrophe to enter
contractions.
• Double-touch on the word you want to change to correct
a misspelled word, then touch the delete key to erase one
character. Touch and hold the delete key to erase an
entire word.

Joining Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts,
social networking logins, and other similar account
information. For example, a Facebook account login
name might differ from a corporate email account
login because they are maintained separately and for
different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts
(such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync or Google). When you
synchronize your phone with those accounts, each
account creates a separate contact entry in the
Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular
email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has
a Facebook account under her maiden and married
name, as well as a Video! chat account, when you
merge those accounts into your Contacts list you can
join all of her entries and view the information in one
record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages
easy. You can select any account email address or
information all from one screen, versus searching
multiple, individual screens to locate the desired
account information.
Next time you synchronize your phone with your
accounts, any updates contacts make to email
account names, email addresses, etc. automatically
update in your contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts,
see “Get Friends” on page 72.

account information.

Press

Tap the second contact entry (the entry in
which to link). The second contact is now
linked with the first and the account
information is merged into one screen.

Note: The information is still maintained in both entries, but
displays in one record for easier viewing when you link
the contacts.

Important!: It is the second contact image that is displayed for
both by the first contact’s name that is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with
Julie (second entry). Julie appears to disappear and
only Amy remains. Tap the Amy entry (showing the
Julie image) to view both.

Tap the main linked contact to view the contact
information you linked. The contacts and
information displays with an icon next to the

Both contacts now go back to being separately

Marking a Contact as Default
When you use applications such as the Voice Dialer
or other messaging type applications, the application
needs to know which information is primary (default)
in a contact entry list. For example, when you say
“Call John Smith”, if you have three phone records
for John Smith, the Voice dialer is looking for the
“default” number or entry.
The Mark as default option marks one entry in a
contact record to use as the default. This comes in
handy when you have multiple entries for the same
person (see Linked contacts).

use your device to access your corporate email
through a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you will first
need to set up an IMAP or POP account.
• IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) - This protocol
is frequently used in large networks and commercial
settings. IMAP4 is the current standard.
• POP3 (Post Office Protocol) - This protocol is supported by
most ISPs (Internet service providers) and common
among consumer applications. POP3 is the current
standard.
• Microsoft Exhange ActiveSync - This protocol is
frequently used with a large corporate email server
system and provides access to email, contact, and
calendar synchronization.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish
trusted connections between your device and another
Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a
passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while
bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time
process. Once pairing is established the devices continue
to recognize their partnership and exchange information
without entering a passcode.

To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:

may be different, and functions such as transfer or
exchange may not be possible with all Bluetoothcompatible devices.

Disconnecting a Paired Bluetooth Device

between the device and your phone, but retains the
knowledge of the pairing. At a later point when you
wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to
setup the connection information again.

About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for

within most Hot Spots, or Secured (requiring
knowledge of the Router name and password).
Note: After you complete a connection to an active Wi-Fi
network, the Wi-Fi Calling feature will automatically be
enabled.

Section 13: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions
associated with using your phone. The terms “mobile
device” or “cell phone” are used in this section to
refer to your phone. Read this information before using
your mobile device.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
published information for consumers relating to Radio
Frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The
FDA publication includes the following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation
will cause cancer or other serious health hazards. The
weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell
phones with any health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF)
energy. Over the past 15 years, scientists have
conducted hundreds of studies looking at the
biological effects of the radio frequency energy
emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have
reported biological changes associated with RF
energy, these studies have failed to be replicated. The
majority of studies published have failed to show an
association between exposure to radio frequency
from a cell phone and health problems.
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are
in the microwave frequency range. They also emit RF
at substantially reduced time intervals when in the
154

stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to
low level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy
should not be confused with the effects from other
types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is
found in X-rays and gamma rays, can ionize biological
tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are
stripped away from their normal locations in atoms
and molecules. It can permanently damage biological
tissues including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio frequency
energy, including both radio waves and microwaves,
are not great enough to cause ionization of atoms and
molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of nonionizing radiation. Other types of non-ionizing
radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat),
and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with
relatively low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large
amounts can increase body temperatures and cause
tissue damage. Two areas of the body, the eyes and
the testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF heating
because there is relatively little blood flow in them to
carry away excess heat.

Research Results to Date: Is there a connection
between RF and certain health problems?

The results of most studies conducted to date say no.
In addition, attempts to replicate and confirm the few
studies that have shown a connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes
that the weight of scientific evidence does not show
an association between exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) from cell phones and adverse health outcomes.
Still the scientific community has supported
additional research to address gaps in knowledge.
Some of these studies are described below.
Interphone Study

Interphone is a large international study designed to
determine whether cell phones increase the risk of
head and neck cancer. A report published in the
International Journal of Epidemiology (June, 2010)
compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000
people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma)
and a similar number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones
caused brain cancer. In this study, most people had
no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell
phones. For people with the heaviest use of cell
phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day,
every day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a
slight increase in brain cancer. However, the authors
determined that biases and errors prevented any
conclusions being drawn from this data. Additional
information about Interphone can be found at
http://com.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/.

Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but
it did not answer all questions about cell phone
safety. Additional research is being conducted around
the world, and the FDA continues to monitor
developments in this field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users
(COSMOS)

The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health
monitoring of a large group of people to determine if
there are any health issues linked to long-term
exposure to radio frequency energy from cell phone
use. The COSMOS study will follow approximately
300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 30
years. Additional information about the COSMOS
study can be found at http://www.ukcosmos.org/
index.html.
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio
Frequency Fields in Childhood and Adolescence
(MOBI-KIDS)

MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the
relationship between exposure to radio frequency
energy from communication technologies including
cell phones and brain cancer in young people. This is
an international multi-center study involving 14
European and non-European countries. Additional
information about MOBI-KIDS can be found at
http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectescreal/view.php?ID=39.

155

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)
Program of the National Cancer Institute

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows
cancer statistics in the United States to detect any
change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell
phones play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates
should go up, because heavy cell phone use has been
common for quite some time in the U.S. Between
1987 and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of
brain cancer did not increase. Additional information
about SEER can be found at
http://seer.cancer.gov/.
Cell Phone Industry Actions

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the
following:
• Support-needed research on possible biological
effects of RF for the type of signal emitted by cell
phones;
• Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user; and
• Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the
current information on cell phone use and human
health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standardsetting bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards
continue to adequately protect the public.

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other
Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency
Energy

If there is a risk from being exposed to radio
frequency energy (RF) from cell phones - and at this
point we do not know that there is - it is probably very
small. But, if you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your RF exposure.
• Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
• Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance
between your head and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits

Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth®
headsets and various types of body-worn accessories
such as belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these
can be used to reduce RF energy absorption from cell
phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because
the phone is held away from the head in the user's
hand or in approved body-worn accessories. Cell
phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet RF
exposure compliance requirements when used
against the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to
RF emissions from cell phones, there is no reason to
believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free
kits can be used for convenience and comfort. They
are also required by law in many states if you want to
use your phone while driving.

Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the
Head from RF Radiation

Because there are no known risks from exposure to
RF emissions from cell phones, there is no reason to
believe that accessories which claim to shield the
head from those emissions reduce risks. Some
products that claim to shield the user from RF
absorption use special phone cases, while others
involve nothing more than a metallic accessory
attached to the phone. Studies have shown that
these products generally do not work as advertised.
Unlike “hands-free” kits, these so-called “shields”
may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The
phone may be forced to boost its power to
compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
any users of cell phones from RF exposure, including
children and teenagers. The steps adults can take to
reduce RF exposure apply to children and teenagers
as well.
• Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
• Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance
between the head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using cell phones at all. For
example, The Stewart Report from the United
Kingdom made such a recommendation in December
2000. In this report, a group of independent experts
noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone

causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations: the
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
In both cases, the recommendations were developed
by scientific and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after extensive
reviews of the scientific literature related to the
biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure
of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human
body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg).
The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the exposure limit established by
the FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested
and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used
with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to the
public and to account for any variations in
measurements.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this model
phone as reported to the FCC are:
• Head: 0.91 W/Kg.
• Body-worn: 1.12 W/Kg.

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all

2.4GHZ WLAN
• Head: 0.28 W/Kg.
• Body-worn: 0.16 W/Kg.

158

SAR information on this and other model phones can
be viewed online at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. To find
information that pertains to a particular model phone,
this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is
usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the
battery pack to find the number. Once you have the
FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide
values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular
phone. Additional product specific SAR information
can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.

Smart Practices While Driving
On the Road - Off the Phone

The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe
operation of his or her vehicle.
Responsible drivers understand that no secondary
task should be performed while driving whether it be
eating, drinking, talking to passengers, or talking on
a mobile phone - unless the driver has assessed the
driving conditions and is confident that the secondary
task will not interfere with their primary
responsibility. Do not engage in any activity while
driving a moving vehicle which may cause you to take
your eyes off the road or become so absorbed in the
activity that your ability to concentrate on the act of
driving becomes impaired. Samsung is committed to
promoting responsible driving and giving drivers the
tools they need to understand and address
distractions.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
devices and their accessories in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may
be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. For
example, only hands-free use may be permitted in
certain areas.
Before answering calls, consider your circumstances.
Let the call go to voicemail when driving conditions
require. Remember, driving comes first, not the call!
If you consider a call necessary and appropriate,
follow these tips:
• Use a hands-free device;
• Secure your phone within easy reach;
• Place calls when you are not moving;
• Plan calls when your car will be stationary;
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations;
• Let the person with whom you are speaking know that
you are driving and will suspend the call if necessary;
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving;
Notice regarding legal restrictions on mounting this
device in an automobile:
Laws in some states may prohibit mounting this
device on or near the windshield of an automobile. In
other states, the law may permit mounting this
device only in specific locations in the automobile. Be
sure to consult the state and local laws or ordinances
where you drive before mounting this device in an
automobile. Failure to comply with these restrictions
could result in fines, penalties, or other damages.

Battery Use and Safety
Important!: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or
damage. Most battery issues arise from improper
handling of batteries and, particularly, from the
continued use of damaged batteries.

• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or

otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.
Do not put a high degree of pressure on the battery. This
can cause leakage or an internal short-circuit, resulting in
overheating.
• Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with
liquids. Liquids can get into the phone's circuits, leading
to corrosion. Even when the phone appears to be dry and
appears to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly
corrode and pose a safety hazard. If the phone and/or
battery get wet, have them checked by your service
provider or contact Samsung, even if they appear to be
working properly.

160

• Do not place your battery in or near a heat source.

Excessive heating can damage the phone or the battery
and could cause the phone or the battery to explode. Do
not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat
source such as a microwave oven, hair dryer, iron, or
radiator. Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high
temperatures.
• Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire.
The phone or the battery may explode when overheated.
• Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not let
leaking battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin
or clothing. For safe disposal options, contact your nearest

GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based
applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by the
U.S. Government that are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio

navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may affect the
performance of location-based technology on your
mobile device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which
obtains information from the cellular network to
improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless
service provider's network and therefore airtime,
data charges, and/or additional charges may apply in
accordance with your service plan. Contact your
wireless service provider for details.
Your Location

Location-based information includes information that
can be used to determine the approximate location of
a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected
to a wireless network transmit location-based
information. Additionally, if you use applications that
require location-based information (e.g. driving
directions), such applications transmit location-based
information. The location-based information may be
shared with third-parties, including your wireless
service provider, applications providers, Samsung,
and other third-parties providing services.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls

When you make an emergency call, the cellular
network may activate AGPS technology in your
mobile device to tell the emergency responders your
approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area.
Therefore:

Health and Safety Information

163

• Always tell the emergency responder your location to the

best of your ability; and
• Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency
responder instructs you.
Navigation

Maps, directions, and other navigation data may
contain inaccurate or incomplete data, and
circumstances can and do change over time. In some
areas, complete information may not be available.
Therefore, you should always visually confirm that the
navigational instructions are consistent with what you
see before following them. All users should pay
attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all
other factors that may impact safe driving or walking.
Always obey posted road signs.

Emergency Calls
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device,
operates using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks, as well as user-programmed functions,
which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions,
areas, or circumstances. Therefore, you should never
rely solely on any wireless mobile device for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for example).
Before traveling in remote or underdeveloped areas,
plan an alternate method of contacting emergency
services personnel. Remember, to make or receive
any calls, the mobile device must be switched on and
in a service area with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless
mobile device networks or when certain network

164

services and/or mobile device features are in use.
Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1.

If the phone is not on, switch it on.

From the Home screen, tap

Enter the emergency number for your present

location (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number), then tap

Emergency numbers vary by location.
If certain features are in use (call blocking, for
example), you may first need to deactivate those
features before you can make an emergency call.
Consult your User Manual and your local cellular
service provider. When making an emergency call,
remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your mobile
device may be the only means of communication at
the scene of an accident; do not cut off the call until
given permission to do so.

Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty
obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for
many years:

Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity,
and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits. If the mobile device does get
wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an
oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may
damage the mobile device and could cause a fire or
explosion. Do not use the mobile device with a wet
hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you
or damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C /
113°F.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven.
Doing so may cause a fire or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the mobile device. Wipe it with a soft
cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough
handling can break internal circuit boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the
device’s moving parts or ventilation openings and prevent
proper operation.

Responsible Listening
Caution!: Avoid potential hearing loss.

Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed
to loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss
increases as sound is played louder and for longer
durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
(including music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research
suggests that using portable audio devices, such as
portable music players and cell phones, at high
volume settings for long durations may lead to
permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes
the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds,
and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure
to very loud sound has also been associated in some
studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),
hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing.
Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally,
the amount of sound produced by a portable audio
device varies depending on the nature of the sound,
the device settings, and the headphones that are
used. As a result, there is no single volume setting
that is appropriate for everyone or for every
combination of sound, settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense
recommendations when using any portable audio
device:
• Always turn the volume down before plugging the
earphones into an audio source.
Health and Safety Information

165

• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the

lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.

American Academy of Audiology

• Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings

11730 Plaza American Drive, Suite 300

over time, not realizing that the higher volume may be
harmful to your hearing.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you
cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person
sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings.
If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block
out background environmental noise. By blocking
background environment noise, noise cancelling
headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower
volumes than when using earbuds.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume
increases, less time is required before you hearing could
be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause
temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might
cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If
you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech,
or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after
listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use
and consult your doctor.

Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
Radio Frequency (RF) signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
RF signals from your wireless mobile device. Consult
the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be
maintained between a handheld wireless mobile
device and an implantable medical device, such as a
pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator,
to avoid potential interference with the device.
Persons who have such devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6)
inches from their implantable medical device when the
mobile device is turned ON;
• Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical
device to minimize the potential for interference;
• Should turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is
any reason to suspect that interference is taking place;
• Should read and follow the directions from the
manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you
have any questions about using your wireless mobile
device with an implantable medical device, consult your
health care provider.
For more information see: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/
rfsafety/rf-faqs.html#.
Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to determine
if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information. Switch your mobile device off in
health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
Health and Safety Information

167

care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle before using
your mobile device in a motor vehicle. You should also
consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities

Switch your mobile device off in any facility where
posted notices require you to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments

Switch your mobile device off when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death. Users are advised to switch the mobile device
off while at a refueling point (service station). Users
are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage
and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include below deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and

168

any other area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine.

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01309 modified the exception of wireless mobile
devices under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of
1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless mobile
devices be compatible with hearing aids.
The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable
access to telecommunications services for persons
with hearing disabilities. While some wireless mobile
devices are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a
buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in
the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a
rating system for wireless mobile devices to assist
hearing device users find mobile devices that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all mobile
devices have been rated. Mobile devices that are
rated have the rating on their box or a label located on
the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user's hearing device and hearing
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated
mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile

device with your hearing device is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than mobile devices
that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than mobile devices
that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing
device manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean
that the hearing device is relatively immune to
interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless
mobile device rating values are then added together.
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use.
A sum of 6 is considered for best use. If a hearing aid
meets the M2 level rating and the wireless mobile
device meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two
values equal M5. This is synonymous for T ratings.
This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal
usage” while using their hearing aid with the
particular wireless mobile device.

the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced
in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules.
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are
described in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
HAC/Wi-Fi for Newer Technologies

This phone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies
that it uses. However, there may be some newer
wireless technologies used in this phone that have
not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is
important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you
hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have
questions about return or exchange policies, consult
your service provider or phone retailer.

“Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal
quality that is acceptable for normal operation. The M
mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark.
The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the
UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by

was brought by the Purchaser in bad faith. In a Small
Claim case, the Purchaser shall be required to pay no
more than half of the total administrative, facility and
arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of such fees, whichever is
less, and SAMSUNG shall pay the remainder of such
fees. Administrative, facility and arbitrator fees for
arbitrations in which the Purchaser's total damage
claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert witness
fees, exceed $5,000.00 ("Large Claim") shall be
determined according to AAA rules. In a Large Claim
case, the arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party,
or apportion among the parties, reasonable attorney
fees, expert witness fees and costs. Judgment may
be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
This arbitration provision also applies to claims
against SAMSUNG'S employees, representatives and
affiliates if any such claim arises from the Product's
sale, condition or performance.
Purchaser may opt out of this dispute resolution
procedure by providing notice to SAMSUNG no later
than 30 calendar days from the date of Purchaser's
original purchase of the Product. To opt out,
Purchaser must send notice by e-mail to
optout@sta.samsung.com, with the subject line:
"Arbitration Opt Out." Purchaser must include in the
opt out e-mail (a) Purchaser's name and address; (b)
the date on which the Product was purchased; (c) the
Product model name or model number; and (d) the
IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable, if
Purchaser has it (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number

can be found (i) on the Product box; (ii) on the Product
information screen, which can be found under
"Settings;" (iii) on a label on the back of the Product
beneath the battery, if the battery is removable; and
(iv) on the outside of the Product if the battery is not
removable). Alternatively, Purchaser may opt out by
calling 1-888-987-4357 and providing the same
information. These are the only two forms of notice
that will be effective to opt out of this dispute
resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute
resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of
the Limited Warranty in any way, and Purchaser will
continue to enjoy the benefits of the Limited
Warranty.
Severability
If any portion of this Limited Warranty is held to be
illegal or unenforceable, such partial illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of
the remainder of the Limited Warranty.
