Excessive exposure t o sound at high volum es can cause hearing dam age.
Always t urn t he v olum e down before plugging t he earphones int o an audio source and
use only t he m inim um volum e set t ing necessary t o hear your conv er sat 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
z 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.
z Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when disposing used batteries or phones.
z Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave
ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
z 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.
Safety precautions
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.
m anufact ured not t o exceed t he exposure lim it s for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by t he Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S.
governm ent . These FCC exposure lim it s are derived from t he
recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizat ions, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiat ion Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ut e of
Elect rical and Elect r onics Engineers ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endat ions w ere developed by scient ific and engineering expert s
drawn from indust r y, governm ent , and academ ia aft er ext ensive reviews
of t he scient ific lit erat ure relat ed t o t he biological effect s of RF energy.
The exposure lim it set by t he 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 t he rat e of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in unit s of wat t s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones t o com ply wit h a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y t o give addit ional prot ect ion t o t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ent s.
SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing posit ions accept ed by
t he FCC wit h t he phone t ransm it t ing at it s highest cert ified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Alt hough t he SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
cert ified power level, t he act ual SAR lev el of t he phone while operat ing
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because t he phone is
designed t o operat e at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required t o reach t he net work. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base st at ion ant enna, t he lower t he power out put .
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o t he public, it m ust be
t est ed and cert ified t o 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
posit ions and locat ions ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on t he body) as required
by t he FCC.

Consum e r I nfor m a t ion on W ir e le ss Phone s
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist rat ion ( FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answ ers for consum ers relat ing t o radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from w ireless phones. The FDA publicat ion includes t he
following inform at ion:
W ha t k inds of phone s a r e t he subj e ct of t his upda t e ?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones wit h
built - in ant ennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
t ypes of wireless phones can expose t he user t o m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of t he short dist ance bet w een t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safet y guidelines t hat were developed wit h
t he advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is locat ed at great er dist ances fr om t he user, t he exposure t o RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing dist ance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed t o t he t elephone wiring in a house,
t ypically operat e at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim it s.
D o w ir e le ss phon e s pose a he a lt h h a z a r d?
The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any healt h problem s
are associat ed wit h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
t hat w ireless phones are 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 very low levels of RF when in t he st and- by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce healt h effect s ( by heat ing t issue) , exposure
t o low level RF t hat does not produce heat ing effect s causes no known
adverse healt h effect s. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e st udies have suggest ed t hat 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, ot her researchers have had
difficult y in reproducing t hose st udies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent result s.
W ha t is FD A's r ole conce r ning t he sa fe t y of w ir e le ss phone s?
Under t he law , FDA does not review t he safet y of radiat ion- em it t ing
consum er product s such as w ireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it
does wit h new drugs or m edical dev ices. However, t he agency has
aut horit y t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown t o em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous t o 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 t he healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so
t hat t he hazard no longer exist s.
Alt hough t he exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory 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:
z “ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
t he t ype em it t ed by wireless phones;
z “ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure
t o t he user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and
z “ Cooperat e in providing users of wireless phones wit h t he best
possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y t o ensure coordinat ed
effort s at t he federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working
group:
z “ Nat ional I nst it ut e for Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h
z “ Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency
z “ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
z “ Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h Adm inist rat ion
z “ Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nst it ut es of Healt h part icipat es in som e int er agency working
group act ivit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless 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 at es m ust com ply wit h FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies for safet y quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es t he base st at ions t hat t he wireless phone net works
rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operat e at higher pow er t han do t he
wireless phones t hem selves, t he RF exposures t hat people get from t hese
base st at ions are t y pically t housands of t im es lower t han t hose t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect
of t he safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent .
W h a t a r e t h e r e su lt s of t h e r e se a r ch don e a lr e a dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any
st udies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
result s t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al
st udies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerat e
t he developm ent of cancer in laborat ory anim als. However, m any of t he
st udies t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer- causing chem icals so
as t o be pre- disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
st udies exposed t he anim als t o RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he condit ions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert aint y what t he result s of such
st udies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Bet ween t hem , t he st udies invest igat ed any possible associat ion
bet ween t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, t um ors of t he brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he st udies dem onst rat ed t he
exist ence of any har m ful healt h effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions about
long- t erm exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese
st udies was around t hree years.
W ha t r e se a r ch is ne e de d t o de cide w he t he r RF e x posur e fr om
w ir e le ss phone s pose s a h e a lt h r isk ?
A com binat ion of laborat ory st udies and epidem iological st udies of people
act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he dat a t hat are
needed. Lifet im e anim al exposure st udies could be com plet ed in a few
years. However, 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 provide dat a t hat is direct ly applicable t o
hum an populat ions, but t en or m ore years' follow- up m ay be needed t o
provide answers about som e healt h effect s, such as cancer. This is
because t he int erval bet ween t he t im e of exposure t o a cancer- causing
agent and t he t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpret at ion of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by
difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day- t o- day use of
wireless phones. Many fact ors affect t his m easurem ent , such as t he angle
at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W ha t is FD A doing t o find out m or e a bout t he possible he a lt h
e ffe ct s of w ir e le ss phone RF?
FDA is working w it h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of invest igat ors around t he world t o ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im port ant quest ions about t he
effect s of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading part icipant in t he World Healt h Or ganizat ion
int ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influent ial result of t his work has been t he developm ent of a
det ailed 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 Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat iv e Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o
do research on wireless phone safet y . FDA provides t he scient ific
oversight , obt aining input from expert s in governm ent , indust ry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A- funded research is conduct ed t hrough
cont ract s t o independent invest igat ors. The init ial research will include
bot h laborat ory st udies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of addit ional research needs in t he
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world.
W ha t st e ps ca n I t a k e t o r e duce m y e x posur e t o r a dio fr e que ncy
e ne r gy fr om m y w ir e le ss phone ?
I f t here is a risk from t hese product s - and at t his point we do not know
t hat t here is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even pot ent ial risks, you can t ake a few sim ple st eps t o m inim ize
your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) . Since t im e is a key fact or
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.
z “ I f you m ust conduct ext ended conversat ions by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore dist ance bet ween your body and
t he source of t he RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram at ically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connect ed t o a rem ot e ant enna.
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e t hat wireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure fr om t hese
product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W h a t a bout childr e n using w ir e le ss phone s?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o 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
bet ween t he user and t he 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,
t he governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflet s cont aining such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed t hat no evidence exist s
t hat using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or ot her ill effect s. Their
recom m endat ion t o lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
D o ha nds- fr e e k it s for w ir e le ss phone s r e duce r isk s fr om e x posur e
t o RF e m issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands- free kit s reduce
risks. Hands- free kit s can be used w it h wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em s reduce t he absorpt ion of RF energy in t he
head because t he phone, w hich is t he source of t he RF em issions, w ill not
be placed against t he head. On t he ot her hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against t he waist or ot her part of t he body during use, t hen t hat part of
t he body w ill absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in t he
U.S. are required t o m eet safet y requir em ent s regardless of whet her t hey
are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configurat ion should
result in com pliance wit h t he safet y lim it .
D o w ir e le ss phon e a cce ssor ie s t ha t cla im t o shie ld t h e he a d fr om
RF r a dia t ion w or k ?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat accessories t hat claim
t o shield t he head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
claim t o shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at t ached t o t he
phone. St udies hav e shown t hat t hese product s generally do not work as
advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kit s, t hese so- called “ shields” m ay int erfere
wit h proper operat ion of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost it s
power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, t he Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged t wo
com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users
from r adiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iat ed claim s. Accor ding t o
FTC, t hese defendant s lacked a reasonable basis t o subst ant iat e t heir
claim .
W ha t a bout w ir e le ss phon e int e r fe r e nce w it h m e dica l e quipm e nt ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can int eract wit h som e
elect ronic devices. For t his 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 defibrillat ors fr om wireless t elephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Associat ion 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 plet ed in lat e 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers t o
ensure t hat cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has t est ed wireless phones and helped dev elop a
volunt ary st andard sponsored by t he I nst it ut e of Elect rical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no int erference
occurs when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com pat ible hearing
aid at t he sam e t im e. This st andard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues t o m onit or t he use of wir eless phones for possible
int eract ions wit h ot her m edical dev ices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct t est ing t o assess t he int erference and
