Linking Contact
Information

Contact Overview Screen
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. 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.
Contacts

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 device with your accounts, any
updates contacts make to email account names, email addresses,
etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
1. From the Home screen, tap
.
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to another
entry) to reveal the Contact entry’s Overview Screen.

account information.
3. Press

4. 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 first contact image that is displayed for both, and
the first contact’s name that is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with Julie
(second entry). Julie seems to disappear and only Amy
remains. Tap the Amy entry (showing the Amy image) to
view both.
5. Tap the main linked contact to view the contact information
you linked. The contacts and information displays with an icon

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.
1. From the Home screen, tap
.
2. Tap a Contact entry.

be the primary information (such as name, phone number, or
email) and select Done.
Note: If there are multiple phone numbers assigned to an entry,
assigning one as the default will automatically dial that number
when the contact is selected for dialing.

Using Email
Email (or Internet Email) enables you to review and create email
using several email services. You can also receive text message
alerts when you receive an important email. Your phone’s Email
application lets you access and manage multiple email accounts
simultaneously in one convenient location.
There are currently three main types of email accounts on your
phone: Gmail, Internet-based email, and Microsoft Exchange
(Corporate email or Outlook®).

132

To send and receive email messages through an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) account, or if you wish to 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 Exchange ActiveSync - This protocol is frequently used with a
large corporate email server system and provides access to email,
contact, and calendar synchronization.

Wi-Fi Settings
About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for certain types of
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). Wi-Fi communication requires
access to an existing and accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP).
These WAPs can either be Open (unsecured) as 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 11: 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 stand-by mode. Whereas high
298

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
non-ionizing 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.

Health and Safety Information

299

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://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf.
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.

300

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_projectes-creal/
view.php?ID=39.
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/.
Health and Safety Information

301

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 standard-setting 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.

302

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.
Health and Safety Information

303

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.

sources can be obtained from the following organizations (updated

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 RF 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.
Health and Safety Information

305

The RF 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).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public and to account for any variations
in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all 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
reported 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 of the phone.
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 SAR
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 has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this mobile device with all reported SAR levels
306

evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
This mobile phone has a FCC ID number: A3LSMS765C [Model
Number: SM-S765C] and the specific SAR levels for this mobile
phone can be found at the following FCC website:http://www.fcc.gov/
oet/ea/.
The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s
website: http://www.samsung.com/sar.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be accessed
online on the FCC's website through http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/
rfsafety/sar.html. 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 SAR information can
also be obtained at
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellulartelephones.

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;
Health and Safety Information

309

• 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;

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.

310

• 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.

• 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.

• Caution: Some applications or prolonged usage may increase device
temperature. Prolonged skin contact with a device that is hot to the touch
may produce skin discomfort or redness, or low-temperature burns. If the
device feels hot to the touch, discontinue use and close all applications or
turn off the device until it cools. Always ensure that the phone has
adequate ventilation and air flow. Covering the device with bedding, your
body, thick clothing or any other materials that significantly affect air flow
may affect the performance of the phone and poses a possible risk of fire
or explosion, which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to
property.

Health and Safety Information

311

• 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 Samsung-authorized service center.

• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone or the battery,
especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone
and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it to a
service center for inspection.

• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
• Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, key, jewelry, clip,
or pen) causes a direct connection between the + and - terminals of the
battery (metal strips on the battery), for example when you carry a spare
battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the object causing the short-circuiting.
Important! Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your
battery only with Samsung-approved chargers which are
specifically designed for your phone.
WARNING!
Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present a risk
of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Samsung's warranty does
not cover damage to the phone caused by nonSamsung-approved
batteries and/or chargers.

312

• Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some
websites and second-hand dealers not associated with reputable
manufacturers and carriers, might be selling incompatible or even
counterfeit batteries and chargers. Consumers should purchase
manufacturer or carrier-recommended products and accessories. If
unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible,
contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.

• Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and charging
devices could result in damage to the equipment and a possible risk
of fire, explosion, or leakage, leading to serious injuries, damages to
your phone, or other serious hazard.

Display / Touch-Screen
Please note the following information when using your mobile
device:
WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY
The display on your mobile device is made of glass or acrylic
and could break if your mobile device is dropped or if it
receives significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or
cracked as this could cause injury to you.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A TOUCH-SCREEN
MOBILE DEVICE
If your mobile device 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, please refer to the “Standard
Limited Warranty”.

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.
316

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:
• 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.

Health and Safety Information

317

Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation-data, including data relating
to your current location, 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 services and/or mobile device
features are in use. Check with local service providers.

318

To make an emergency call:
1. If the mobile device is not on, switch it on.
2. From the Home screen, tap

3. Key in the emergency number for your present location (for
example, 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency
numbers vary by location.
4. Tap

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.
Health and Safety Information

319

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. If the
mobile device has a retractable camera lens, do not use soap
and water to clean the lens. Use a blower or brush or lens
cleaning paper dampened in a lens cleaning 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.
320

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.

• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at
which you can hear adequately.

• Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, not
realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to your hearing.

Health and Safety Information

321

• 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.

require you to do so.

Health and Safety Information

325

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 any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection
Association.
When your Device is Wet

326

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established
requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be compatible
with hearing aids and other assistive hearing devices.
When individuals employing some assistive hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile devices, they 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: Wireless 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. M-ratings refer to enabling acoustic
coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil mode.

Health and Safety Information

327

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. T-ratings refer to enabling inductive coupling with hearing
aids operating in telecoil mode.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher
ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to
interference noise.
Under the current industry standard, American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless mobile device
rating values are added together to indicate how usable they are
together. For example, 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 equals M5.
Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with
normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular wireless
mobile device. A sum of 6 or more would indicate excellent
performance.
However, these are not guarantees that all users will be satisfied. T
ratings work similarly.

328

The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
HAC 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.

What are the limits on SAMSUNG’s liability?
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SETS OUT THE FULL EXTENT OF
SAMSUNG’S RESPONSIBILITIES, AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
REGARDING THE PRODUCTS.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SAMSUNG BE LIABLE FOR
DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT
OR FOR, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COMMERCIAL LOSS OF ANY SORT;
LOSS OF USE, TIME, DATA, REPUTATION, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL,
PROFITS OR SAVINGS; INCONVENIENCE; INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; OR DAMAGES ARISING
FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT. SOME STATES
AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG
AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE DISCLAIMER OR LIMITATION
OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
SAMSUNG MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE
QUALITY, CAPABILITIES, OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE OR
SUITABILITY OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT USED
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PRODUCT, OR THE ABILITY TO
INTEGRATE ANY SUCH SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT WITH THE
PRODUCT, WHETHER SUCH THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR
EQUIPMENT IS INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT DISTRIBUTED BY
SAMSUNG OR OTHERWISE. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUALITY,
CAPABILITIES, OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE AND SUITABILITY OF
336

ANY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT RESTS SOLELY
WITH THE USER AND THE DIRECT VENDOR, OWNER OR SUPPLIER OF
SUCH THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT.
Nothing in the Product instructions or information shall be construed
to create an express warranty of any kind with respect to the
Products. No agent, employee, dealer, representative or reseller is
authorized to modify or extend this Limited Warranty or to make
binding representations or claims, whether in advertising,
presentations or otherwise, on behalf of SAMSUNG regarding the
Products or this Limited Warranty.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights that vary from state to state.
What is the procedure for resolving disputes?
ALL DISPUTES WITH SAMSUNG ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE
OF THE PRODUCTS SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH
FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT BY A COURT OR JURY.
Any such dispute shall not be combined or consolidated with a
dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s Product or claim, and
specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, shall not under any
circumstances proceed as part of a class action. The arbitration shall
be conducted before a single arbitrator, whose award may not
exceed, in form or amount, the relief allowed by the applicable law.
The arbitration shall be conducted according to the American
Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules
applicable to consumer disputes. This arbitration provision is entered
pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The laws of the State of
Texas, without reference to its choice of laws principles, shall govern
Warranty Information

337

the interpretation of the Limited Warranty and all disputes that are
subject to this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall decide all
issues of interpretation and application of this arbitration provision
and the Limited Warranty.
For any arbitration in which your total damage claims, exclusive of
attorney fees and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less (“Small
Claim”), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your reasonable
attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs as part of any award,
but may not grant SAMSUNG its attorney fees, expert witness fees or
costs unless it is determined that the claim was brought in bad faith.
In a Small Claim case, you 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 your 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.
You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure by providing
notice to SAMSUNG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the
first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the Product. To opt out, you
must send notice by e-mail to optout@sta.samsung.com, with the
subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out.” You must include in the opt out
338

e-mail (a) your 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 you have 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, you may opt out
by calling 1-888-987-4357 no later than 30 calendar days from the date
of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the Product 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 you 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.

End User License Agreement for Software
IMPORTANT. READ CAREFULLY: This End User License Agreement
("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a
single entity) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung") for
software, owned by Samsung and its affiliated companies and its
third party suppliers and licensors, that accompanies this EULA,
which includes computer software and may include associated
media, printed materials, "online" or electronic documentation in
connection with your use of this device ("Software").

340

This device requires the use of preloaded software in its normal
operation. BY USING THE DEVICE OR ITS PRELOADED SOFTWARE,
YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS EULA. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT
THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE DEVICE OR THE SOFTWARE.
1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Samsung grants you the following rights
provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
You may install, use, access, display and run one copy of the
Software on the local hard disk(s) or other permanent storage media
of one computer and use the Software on a single computer or a
mobile device at a time, and you may not make the Software
available over a network where it could be used by multiple
computers at the same time. You may make one copy of the
Software in machine readable form for backup purposes only;
provided that the backup copy must include all copyright or other
proprietary notices contained on the original.
Certain items of the Software may be subject to open source
licenses. The open source license provisions may override some of
the terms of this EULA. We make the applicable open source licenses
available to you on the Legal Notices section of the Settings menu of
your device.
2. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP. Samsung reserves all
rights not expressly granted to you in this EULA. The Software is
protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and
treaties. Samsung or its suppliers own the title, copyright and other
intellectual property rights in the Software. The Software is licensed,
not sold.
3. LIMITATIONS ON END USER RIGHTS. You may not reverse engineer,
decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source
code or algorithms of, the Software (except and only to the extent
Warranty Information

341

that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law not
withstanding this limitation), or modify, or disable any features of,
the Software, or create derivative works based on the Software. You
may not rent, lease, lend, sublicense or provide commercial hosting
services with the Software.
4. CONSENT TO USE OF DATA. You agree that Samsung and its
affiliates may collect and use technical information gathered as part
of the product support services related to the Software provided to
you, if any, such as IMEI(your device's unique identification number),
device number, model name, customer code, access recording, your
device's current SW version, MCC (Mobile Country Code), MNC
(Mobile Network Code). Samsung and its affiliates may use this
information solely to improve their products or to provide customized
services or technologies to you and will not disclose this information
in a form that personally identifies you. At all times your information
will be treated in accordance with Samsung's Privacy Policy, which
can be viewed at:
http://account.samsung.com/membership/pp.
5. SOFTWARE UPDATES. Samsung may provide to you or make
available to you updates, upgrades, supplements and add-on
components (if any) of the Software related to security, including bug
fixes, service upgrades (parts or whole), products or devices, and
updates and enhancements to any software for security previously
installed (including entirely new versions), (collectively “Update”)
after the date you obtain your initial copy of the Software related to
security to improve such Software and ultimately enhance your user
experience with your device. This EULA applies to all and any
component of the Update that Samsung may provide to you or make
available to you after the date you obtain your initial copy of the
342

Software related to security, unless we provide other terms along
with such Update. To use Software related to security provided
through Update, you must first be licensed for the Software identified
by Samsung as eligible for the Update. After the Update, you may no
longer use the Software that formed the basis for your Update
eligibility. The updated Software version may add new functions and,
in some limited cases, may delete existing functions.
While the Update will be generally available, in some limited
circumstances, the Software updates will only be offered by your
network carrier, and such Software updates will be governed by your
contractual relationship with your network carrier.
With the “Automatic Update” function enabled (as in the default
setting in the Security menu in the Setting), your device downloads
some Updates automatically from time to time. Given the importance
of receiving Updates for security software in a timely manner to
defend against new threats, such Update may be automatically
downloaded and installed. We recommend that you check availability
of any new Updates periodically for optimal use of your device. If you
want to avoid any use of network data for the Update downloads,
then you should choose the “Wi-Fi Only” option in the Setting.
6. Some features of the Software may require your device to have
access to the internet and may be subject to restrictions imposed by
your network or internet provider. Unless your device is connected to
the internet through Wi-Fi connection, the Software will access
through your mobile network, which may result in additional charges
depending on your payment plan. In addition, your enjoyment of
some features of the Software may be affected by the suitability and
performance of your device hardware or data access.

accompanied. In such event, the transfer must include all of the
Software (including all component parts, the media and printed
materials, any upgrades, this EULA) and you may not retain any
copies of the Software. The transfer may not be an indirect transfer,
such as a consignment. Prior to the transfer, the end user receiving
the Software must agree to all the EULA terms.

subject to export restrictions of various countries. You agree to
comply with all applicable international and national laws that apply
to the Software, including all the applicable export restriction laws

provided only with "restricted rights" with only those rights as are
granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions
herein. All Software and Products are provided subject to Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.227.19.
15. APPLICABLE LAW. This EULA is governed by the laws of the
jurisdiction where you are a resident or, if a resident of the United

of law provisions. This EULA shall not be governed by the UN
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the
application of which is expressly excluded.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
(a) Non-United States residents. If a dispute, controversy or
difference arising in any way from this EULA or your use of the
Software is not amicably settled, it shall be subject to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the jurisdiction where you
are a resident. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Samsung may apply
for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in
any jurisdiction.
(b) United States residents. ALL DISPUTES WITH SAMSUNG ARISING
IN ANY WAY FROM THIS EULA OR YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE
SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING
ARBITRATION, AND NOT BY A COURT OR JURY. Any such dispute
shall not be combined or consolidated with any other person's or
entity's claim or dispute, and specifically, without limitation of the
foregoing, shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a
class action. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single
arbitrator, whose award may not exceed, in form or amount, the
348

relief allowed by the applicable law. The arbitration shall be
conducted according to the American Arbitration Association (AAA)
Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to consumer disputes. This
arbitration provision is entered pursuant to the Federal Arbitration
Act. The laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its choice of
laws principles, shall govern the interpretation of the EULA and all
disputes that are subject to this arbitration provision. The arbitrator
shall decide all issues of interpretation and application of this
arbitration provision and the EULA. For any arbitration in which your
total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert witness
fees, are $5,000.00 or less ("Small Claim"), the arbitrator may, if you
prevail, award your reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees
and costs as part of any award, but may not grant Samsung its
attorney fees, expert witness fees or costs unless it is determined
that the claim was brought in bad faith. In a Small Claim case, you
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 your 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 licensing or use of the Software. You may opt out of this
dispute resolution procedure by providing notice to Samsung no later
Warranty Information

349

than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer
purchaser's purchase of this device. To opt out, you must send
notice by e-mail to optout@sta.samsung.com, with the subject line:
"Arbitration Opt Out." You must include in the opt out e-mail (a) your
name and address; (b) the date on which the device was purchased;
(c) the device model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or
MEID or Serial Number, as applicable, if you have it (the IMEI or MEID
or Serial Number can be found (i) on the device box; (ii) on the device
information screen, which can be found under "Settings;" (iii) on a
label on the back of the device beneath the battery, if the battery is
removable; and (iv) on the outside of the device if the battery is not
removable). Alternatively, you may opt out by calling
1-888-987-4357 no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the
first consumer purchaser's purchase of the device 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 your use of the
device or its preloaded Software, and you will continue to enjoy the
benefits of this license.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY. This EULA is the entire
agreement between you and Samsung relating to the Software and
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
