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

18 Phone Basics

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.

press MENU 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. The wireless industry and
PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Note: Not all service providers support TTY. Consult your service provider for
more information.

Safety
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

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 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).

Safety 93

Safety

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.

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.

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.
94 Safety

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.

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.

96 Safety

• 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.
Safety

It’s best to follow these storage rules:

• Less than one month:

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
Safety 97

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.
The highest reported SAR values of the SCH-r610 are:
CDMA mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.0 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.816 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.545 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.703 W/kg
