Using the Battery and Charger
Note

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to do
so may increase the risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting
in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Installing the Battery
䊳

See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 6.

Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.

WARNING

Device Basics

2. Press down on the end of the battery compartment cover (just below the embossed
Samsung logo), slide the cover off, and remove the battery from the device.
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

Charging the Battery
Charge your battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your device.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
device automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on. For
a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upperright corner of your device’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery
icon (
) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Samsung-approved desktop charger, travel adapter, or vehicle power adapter to
charge your battery.

Using the Charger
䊳

Plug the flat end of the charger into the device’s Accessories/Power Cable Jack and the
other end into an electrical outlet.

Navigating the Device Screens
The SPH-m800 is a touch-sensitive device which allows you to not only select an onscreen
option with a single touch, but also scroll through long menu lists by simply sliding up and
down through the display with either a stylus or by using your fingertip. Avoid using sharp
objects to prevent scratching or breaking the screen.

Accessing the Main Screens
When the device is locked and
is pressed, the SPH-m800 displays the unlock screen.
䢇 To access the device’s Phone Functions and Home Functions menus, you must first press
and hold
to unlock the device (as described at the top of the unlock screen).
The Phone Functions menu is displayed first.

Scrolling Through Screens
As you navigate through the device, options are presented onscreen as scrollable lists that
allow up or down navigation.
Note

The One Hand Operation of the menus is set to Right Handed by default. See “Changing the
One Hand Operation Setting” on page 19 to change to Left Handed.

To navigate through a scrollable menu:
1. Touch a desired onscreen menu tab (located at the bottom of the screen).
2. Touch and gently press an onscreen option.
The screen on your device is touch-resistive, which means that when you touch an item to
select it or when you drag your finger to scroll, you have to press down slightly to activate the
item. This helps avoid selecting menus or items unintentionally. You can adjust the touch
sensitivity of your screen through the Settings menu. See “Touch Settings” on page 34 for
details.

Device Basics

Tip

The smaller the contact point on your screen, the less pressure required. In this case, touch
the screen with the tip of your finger, your fingernail, or the stylus.

m800.book Page 18 Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:26 AM

3. From the available list of options you can either:
䡲 Touch and gently press an entry to activate it.
䡲 Firmly press and slide your finger up or down the screen to scroll through lists of menu
items. Scrolling on your SPH-m800 requires that your press more firmly on the screen
than the gentle press required to open menu items.

Tip

When scrolling through a list (see illustration on the right above) make sure NOT to tap or
press individual entries on the list. This action will open the list entry.

Selecting Items
As you navigate through the screens, you can select any option by pressing it with either your
fingertip or a stylus.

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the home network. Your new
device works anywhere on your service provider’s network and allows you to roam on other
networks where your service provider has implemented roaming agreements with the other
carriers. This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you
manage your roaming experience.

Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your device’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the network. Anytime you
are roaming, the device displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on a digital system,
the roaming icon will be displayed along with the text
– Digital Roam –.
Tip

Remember, when you are using your device off the network, always dial numbers using 11
digits (1 + area code + number).

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

Note

Roaming

When you’re roaming on digital networks, you may not be able to access certain features,
depending on the available network.
If you’re on a call when you leave the network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in
an area where you think service is available, turn your device off and on again to reconnect to
the network.

Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode
Your device allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu
option, you can determine which signals your device accepts.
Choose from two different settings on your device to control your roaming experience.
1. Press

and touch Home (

Home

) > Settings > Roaming.

2. Touch the Roaming Mode field and touch one of the following options:
䡲 Automatic: This setting seeks service. When service is unavailable, the phone searches
for an alternate system.
䡲 Home Only: This setting allows you to access the home network only and prevents
roaming on other networks.

Using Call Guard
Your device has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the home network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming by
requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is
not required when you make or receive calls while on your home network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press

Using the microSD Card
Your device is equipped with an installed 2GB microSD (Secure Digital) memory card and its
adapter to expand the device’s available memory space. It allows you to store images, videos,
music, and voice data in your device.
Important

Note

The Camera and Music features require that you must have microSD card installed.
Although the SPH-m800 comes with a pre-installed 2GB card, it can support microSD
cards of up to 8GB.

Compatibility with all microSD memory cards is not guaranteed.

Using Your Device: microSD Card

device or replace the card, follow these instructions.
1. Flip up the microSD plastic cover on the right side of the device.
2. Firmly push the end of the card further into the device and release—the card should pop
out from the memory card slot. If this does not work, repeat this process.

Note

The microSD card and its adapter can be easily damaged by improper operation. Please be
careful when inserting, removing, or handling them.

Note

DO NOT remove a microSD card while files are being accessed or transferred. Doing so will
result in loss or damage of data.
Make sure your battery is fully charged before using the microSD card. Your data may
become damaged or unusable if the battery runs out while using the microSD card.

To avoid loss of data, DO NOT remove the USB cable, the microSD card, or the battery
while files are being accessed or transferred.
DO NOT use your computer to change or edit folder or file names on the microSD, and do
not attempt to transfer large amounts of data from the computer to the microSD card. Doing
so may cause the microSD card to fail.
DO NOT turn off or restart your computer, or return to the unlock screen, while using a mass
storage device. Doing so will result in loss or damage of data.
While your device is connected to the computer, your device’s screen will display “Phone
Off.” You cannot make or receive calls while your device is using an active USB connection.
If you connect a mass storage device to a peripheral device, your device may not work
properly.

Safety and Warranty Information
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 199192, 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 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

102

Safety and Warranty Information

m800.book Page 103 Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:26 AM

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.
䡲 Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
䡲 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:
䡲 Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and re-dial.
䡲 When available, use a hands-free device.
䡲 Position your phone within easy reach.
䡲 Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
䡲 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
䡲 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before
pulling into traffic.
䡲 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from
the road.
䡲 Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.
䡲 Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
䡲 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.

104

Safety and Warranty Information

m800.book Page 105 Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:26 AM

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.

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:
䡲 Fueling areas such as gas stations.
䡲 Below deck on boats.

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.
䡲 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.
䡲 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F
to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
䡲 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
䡲 Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䡲 Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䡲 Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䡲 The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
䡲 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.
䡲 Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to
follow these storage rules:

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:
䡲 Reorient / relocate the receiving antenna.
䡲 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
䡲 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.
The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-m800 are:
CDMA mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.07 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.22 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.46 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.964 W/kg
