use only t he m inim um volum e sett ing necessary t o hear your conv ersat ion or m usic.
Install mobile phones and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle are
securely mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag
deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury
when air bags inflate rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically designed for
your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries
or damage to your phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when disposing used batteries or phones.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave
ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high
external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones and pacemakers to
avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers and the
independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you have any reason
to suspect that your phone is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device,
turn off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or
medical device for guidance.
Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or
chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning signs or instructions.
Your phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or chemical storage
and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases,
or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or
accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone with
a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the number of
keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent
breaks.

animals.
Your phone and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to magnetic
fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or
allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended
periods of time.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or
improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids,
medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the
manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you
experience.
Important usage information
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in damage to your
phone and will void your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten
battery life.
Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.
Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care
Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing
information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or
phone.
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from
other devices.
Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards.
Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal
objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or
circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate
method of contacting emergency services personnel.

Ex posure t o Radio Frequency ( RF) Signa ls
Cer t ifica t ion I nfor m at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm itt er and receiver . I t is designed and
m anufactured not to exceed t he exposure lim it s for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by the Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission (FCC) of the U.S.
governm ent. These FCC exposure lim its are derived from the
recom m endations of two expert organizations, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiation Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst itut e of
Elect rical and Electronics Engineers (I EEE). I n bot h cases, the
recom m endations w ere developed by scient ific and engineering expert s
drawn from indust ry, governm ent , and academ ia after extensive reviews
of the scientific liter ature relat ed to t he biological effect s of RF energy.
The exposure lim it set by the FCC for wireless m obile phones em ploys a
unit of m easurem ent known as t he Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR). The
SAR is a m easure of the rate of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in units of wat t s per kilogram (W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones to com ply wit h a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat ts per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst ant ial m argin of
safety t o give addit ional protect ion to t he public and t o account for any
variations in m easurem ent s.
SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operating posit ions accept ed by
the FCC with t he phone transm it t ing at its highest cert ified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is determ ined at the highest
cert ified power level, t he act ual SAR lev el of the phone while operat ing
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at m ultiple power levels so as to use only t he power
required t o reach t he netw ork. I n general, t he closer you are to a wireless
base st ation ant enna, the lower t he power output.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale to t he public, it m ust be
test ed and cert ified to t he FCC t hat it does not exceed t he exposure lim it
est ablished by t he FCC. Test s for each m odel phone are perform ed in
positions and locations ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on t he body) as required
by the FCC.
For body w orn operation, t his m odel phone has been t ested and m eets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Sam sung accessory
designated for t his product or when used wit h an accessory t hat contains
no m etal and t hat positions the handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from the
body.
Non-com pliance wit h t he above rest rictions m ay result in violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform at ion on t his and ot her m odel phones can be viewed on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use t he phone FCC I D num ber for
search, A3LGTB7810. Som etim es it m ay be necessary to remove t he
battery pack t o find the num ber. Once you have t he FCC I D num ber for a
part icular phone, follow the inst ruct ions on t he website and it should
provide values for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a part icular phone.
Addit ional product specific SAR inform at ion can also be obtained at

Consu m er I nform at ion on W ire less Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist rat ion (FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relating t o radio frequency ( RF)
exposur e from wireless phones. The FDA publicat ion includes the
following inform at ion:
W ha t k in ds of phones are t he subj e ct of t his upda t e ?
The t erm wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones wit h
built-in ant ennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose the user to m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of the short dist ance bet w een the phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim ited by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safet y guidelines t hat were developed w ith
the advice of FDA and other federal healt h and safety agencies. When the
phone is locat ed at greater dist ances from the user, t he exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing dist ance from the source. The so-called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected to t he t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim it s.
Do w ir eless phone s pose a he alt h hazard?
The available scient ific evidence does not show that any healt h problem s
are associated wit h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that w ireless phones ar e absolut ely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels
of radio frequency energy ( RF) in t he m icrowave range while being used.
They also em it ver y low levels of RF w hen in the st and-by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce healt h effect s (by heat ing t issue), exposure
to low level RF t hat does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse healt h effect s. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e st udies have suggest ed that som e
biological effect s m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed
by addit ional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing t hose st udies, or in determ ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent results.
W ha t is FDA's r ole concer ning t he safe t y of w ir eless phone s?
Under the law, FDA does not review t he safet y of radiation-em itt ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it
does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut hority to t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown t o em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous to t he user. I n such a
case, FDA could require t he m anufact ur ers of wireless phones t o not ify
users of the healt h hazard and to repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that the hazard no longer exists.
Alt hough t he exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ustify FDA regulatory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry t o t ake a num ber of st eps,
including t he following:
“ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
the t ype em it t ed by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way that m inim izes any RF exposure
to t he user t hat is not necessary for device function; and
“ Cooperate in pr oviding users of wireless phones with t he best
possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an health.
FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of the feder al agencies t hat
have responsibility for different aspect s of RF safety t o ensure coordinated
effort s at the federal level. The following agencies belong t o this working
group:
“ Nat ional I nst itute for Occupational Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ental Prot ect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
“ Occupational Safety and Healt h Adm inistrat ion
“ Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nst it ut es of Health par ticipat es in som e inter agency working
group act ivit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilit ies for w ireless phones wit h t he Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC). All phones t hat are sold in t he Unit ed
St ates m ust com ply with FCC safety guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies for safety quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates t he base st ations t hat t he wireless phone net works
rely upon. While t hese base st ations operat e at higher power t han do t he
wireless phones t hem selves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base st ations are typically t housands of t im es lower than those t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base st ations are thus not the prim ary subj ect
of the safety quest ions discussed in this docum ent .
W ha t a re t he r esu lt s of t h e resea r ch done a lre a dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing results, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m ethods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures characterist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
results t hat often cannot be repeated in ot her laboratories. A few anim al
studies, however , have suggest ed that low levels of RF could accelerate
the developm ent of cancer in laboratory anim als. However, m any of t he
studies that showed increased tum or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or t reated with cancer-causing chem icals so
as to be pre-disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
studies exposed t he anim als t o RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not sim ilar t o the conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know with cert aint y what t he result s of such
studies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Between t hem , t he st udies invest igat ed any possible associat ion
between the use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, t um ors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or other cancers. None of t he st udies dem onstrat ed t he
exist ence of any harm ful health effect s from wireless phones RF
exposur es. However, none of the st udies can answer quest ions about
long-term exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around three years.
W ha t re sea rch is ne eded t o decide w het her RF e xposure fr om
w ir eless phone s poses a h ealt h risk ?
A com bination of laboratory studies and epidem iological st udies of people
act ually using wireless phones w ould provide som e of t he data t hat are
needed. Lifet im e anim al exposure st udies could be com pleted in a few
years. How ever , very large num bers of anim als would be needed t o
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can pr ovide dat a t hat is direct ly applicable t o
hum an populations, but ten or m ore years' follow-up m ay be needed t o
provide answers about som e health effects, such as cancer. This is
because the int erval between t he t ime of exposure t o a cancer-causing
agent and the t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpretation of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by
difficulties in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day-t o-day use of
wireless phones. Many factors affect this m easurem ent , such as the angle
at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W ha t is FDA doing t o find out m ore a bout t he possible hea lt h
effe ct s of w ir eless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and with
groups of invest igat ors around t he world to ensure that high priority
anim al st udies are conduct ed to address im portant quest ions about t he
effect s of exposure t o radio frequency ener gy (RF).
FDA has been a leading part icipant in the World Health Or ganizat ion
int ernational Elect rom agnetic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influent ial result of t his wor k has been the developm ent of a
detailed agenda of r esearch needs t hat has driven t he est ablishm ent of
new research program s around t he world. The Proj ect has also helped
develop a series of public inform at ion docum ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nt ernet Association ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperative Resear ch and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scient ific
oversight, obtaining input from expert s in governm ent , industry, and
academ ic organizations. CTI A-funded research is conduct ed through
contr act s to independent invest igat ors. The init ial research will include
bot h laboratory studies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of addit ional research needs in the
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world.
W hat steps can I tak e to r educe m y exposur e t o ra dio fr equency
ener gy from m y w ir eless phone?
I f there is a risk from these product s - and at t his point we do not know
that there is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even pot ential risks, you can take a few sim ple steps to m inim ize
your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) . Since t im e is a key factor
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing t he am ount of t im e
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
“ I f you m ust conduct extended conversat ions by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore dist ance between your body and
the source of the RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram atically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body.
Again, t he scient ific data do not dem onst rat e t hat w ireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposur e fr om these
product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W ha t a bout ch ildren using w ir eless phones?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o t ake st eps t o
lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described
above would apply t o children and t eenagers using w ireless phones.
Reducing t he t im e of wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance
between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by ot her nat ional governm ent s have advised t hat
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflet s containing such
a recom m endation in Decem ber 2000. They noted t hat no evidence exist s
that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or other ill effect s. Their
recom m endat ion to lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scientific evidence t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do hands-fr ee k it s for w ir eless phones re duce risk s fr om exposure
t o RF em issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason t o believe t hat hands-free kits reduce
risks. Hands-free kit s can be used wit h wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These system s reduce the absorpt ion of RF energy in t he
head because the phone, which is t he source of the RF em issions, will not
be placed against t he head. On t he other hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against t he waist or other part of t he body during use, t hen that part of
the body will absorb m ore RF ener gy. Wireless phones m arketed in t he
U.S. are required t o m eet safet y requirem ents regardless of whether t hey
are used against the head or against the body. Either configurat ion should
result in com pliance with t he safety lim it .
Do w ir eless phone a ccessories t hat claim t o shield t h e head from
RF ra dia t ion w ork?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe t hat accessories that claim
to shield t he head from those em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
claim t o shield t he user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while
others involve not hing m ore than a m et allic accessory attached t o the
phone. St udies have shown that t hese product s generally do not work as
advertised. Unlike “ hand-free” kits, t hese so-called “ shields” m ay interfere
wit h proper operation of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced to boost its
power t o com pensate, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, t he Federal t rade Comm ission (FTC) charged two
com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed t o protect wireless phone users
from radiation wit h m aking false and unsubstant iat ed claim s. Accor ding t o
FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis to subst antiate their
claim .
W ha t a bout w ire less phone int er fer ence w it h m edical equipm ent ?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact wit h som e
elect ronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed t est
m et hod t o m easure elect rom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators fr om wireless telephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Association for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum ent at ion ( AAMI ) . The final draft, a j oint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any ot her groups,
was com pleted in late 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers t o
ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has t est ed wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary st andard sponsored by t he I nst it ut e of Elect rical and Electr onic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m ethods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no interference
occur s when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com patible hearing
aid at t he sam e tim e. This standard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000.
FDA continues t o m onitor t he use of wireless phones for possible
int eractions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct test ing to assess the int erference and
work t o resolve the problem .

Road Safet y
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability t o com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anyw here, anyt im e. But an im portant responsibilit y
accom panies t he benefits of wireless phones, one t hat every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibilit y. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, pract ice good com m on sense
and rem em ber the following tips:
1. Get t o know your wireless phone and it s feat ures, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese features help you to place your
call wit hout t aking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. I f possible, add an
addit ional layer of convenience and safet y t o your wireless phone
with one of t he m any hands free accessories available today.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able to access
your w ireless phone without rem oving your eyes from the road. I f
you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient t im e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let t he person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy traffic or hazardous weat her
condit ions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not t ake notes or look up phone num bers while driving. Jotting
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes
att ention away from your prim ary responsibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the t raffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not m oving or before pulling int o traffic. Try t o plan calls
when your car will be st ationary. I f you need t o m ake a call while
m oving, dial only a few num bers, check t he road and your m irrors,
then continue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em otional conversations t hat m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are talking wit h aware you are driving
and suspend conversations t hat have t he potent ial t o divert your
att ent ion from the r oad.
8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help. Dial 9- 1- 1 or other local
em ergency num ber in t he case of fire, t raffic accident or m edical
em ergencies. Rem em ber, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone t o help ot hers in em ergencies. I f you see
an aut o accident , cr im e in progress or other serious em ergency
where lives are in danger, call 9- 1-1 or ot her local em ergency
num ber, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assist ance or a special non-em ergency wireless
assist ance num ber when necessary. I f you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken t raffic signal, a m inor
traffic accident where no one appears inj ured, or a vehicle you
know t o be st olen, call roadside assist ance or other special non-
em ergency num ber.
“The w ir eless industry rem inds you t o use your phone safe ly w hen
driving.”

net work configurat ion, signal strengt h, operating tem per ature, features
select ed, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and ot her applicat ion usage
patterns.
Ba t t ery Precaut ions
Never use any charger or batt ery that is dam aged in any w ay.
Use t he bat tery only for its intended purpose.
I f you use t he phone near the network's base st at ion, it uses less
power; t alk and st andby t im e are great ly affect ed by t he signal
strength on t he cellular network and t he param eters set by the
network operator.
Batt ery charging t im e depends on t he rem aining bat tery charge
and t he t ype of batter y and charger used. The bat tery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of tim es, but it w ill gradually
wear out . When the operation t im e (talk t im e and st andby t im e) is
not iceably short er t han norm al, it is t im e to buy a new battery.
I f left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over t im e.
