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.

Important usage information

safety and usage information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)

Signals

Certification Information (SAR)

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 exposure limits are derived from the

recommendations of two expert organizations, the

National Counsel 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.

The 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 exposure

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 value. This is because the

phone is designed to operate at multiple power

levels so as to use only the power required to reach

safety and usage information

the network. In general, the closer you are to a

wireless base station antenna, the lower the power

output.

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 exposure 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.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for

this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels

evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF

exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for

this model phone as reported to the FCC are:

GSM1900

Head: 0.079 W/kg.

Body-worn: 0.211 W/kg.

Body worn operation, this model phone has been

tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines

whenused with a Samsung accessory designated for

this product or when used with an accessory that

contains no metal and that positions the handset a

minimum of 1.5 cm from the body

SAR information on this and other model phones can

be viewed on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site

uses the phone FCC ID number, A3LGTI6320C.

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 product specific SAR information

can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.

Consumer Information on Wireless

Phones

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has

published a series of Questions and Answers for

consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure

from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes

the following information:

What kinds of phones are the subject

of this update?

The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held

wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called

“cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of

wireless phones can expose the user to measurable

radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short

distance between the phone and the user's head.

These RF exposures are limited by Federal

Communications Commission safety guidelines that

were developed with the advice of FDA and other

federal health and safety agencies. When the phone

safety and usage information

is located at greater distances from the user, the

exposure to RF is drastically lower because a

person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with

increasing distance from the source. The so-called

“cordless phones,” which have a base unit

connected to the telephone wiring in a house,

typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus

produce RF exposures well within the FCC's

compliance limits.

Do wireless phones pose a health

hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that

any health problems are associated with using

wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that

wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless

phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy

(RF) in the microwave range while being used. They

also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by

mode. Whereas high 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. Many

studies of low level RF exposures have not found

any biological effects. Some studies have suggested

that some biological effects may occur, but such

findings have not been confirmed by additional

research. In some cases, other researchers have

had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in

determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

safety and usage information

What is FDA's role concerning the

safety of wireless phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of

radiation-emitting consumer products such as

wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does

with new drugs or medical devices. However, the

agency has authority to take action if wireless

phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy

(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a

case, FDA could require the manufacturers of

wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard

and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the

hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify

FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless

phone industry to take a number of steps, including

the following:

• “Support needed research into possible biological

effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless

phones;

• “Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes

any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary

for device function; and

• “Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones

with the best possible information on possible

effects of wireless phone use on human health.

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the

federal agencies that have responsibility for different

aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at

the federal level. The following agencies belong to

this working group:

• “National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health

• “Environmental Protection Agency

• “Federal Communications Commission

• “Occupational Safety and Health Administration

• “National Telecommunications and Information

Administration

safety and usage information

The National Institutes of Health participates in some

interagency working group activities, as well.

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless

phones with the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the

United States must comply with FCC safety

guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA

and other health agencies for safety questions about

wireless phones.

FCC also regulates the base stations that the

wireless phone networks rely upon. While these

base stations operate at higher power than do the

wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that

people get from these base stations are typically

thousands of times lower than those they can get

from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the

primary subject of the safety questions discussed in

this document.

What are the results of the research

done already?

The research done thus far has produced conflicting

results, and many studies have suffered from flaws

in their research methods. Animal experiments

investigating the effects of radio frequency energy

(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones

have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be

repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,

however, have suggested that low levels of RF could

accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory

animals. However, many of the studies that showed

increased tumor development used animals that had

been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-

causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to

develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other

studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22

hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the

conditions under which people use wireless phones,

safety and usage information

so we don't know with certainty what the results of

such studies mean for human health.

Three large epidemiology studies have been

published since December 2000. Between them,

the studies investigated any possible association

between the use of wireless phones and primary

brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic

neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland,

leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies

demonstrated the existence of any harmful health

effects from wireless phones RF exposures.

However, none of the studies can answer questions

about long-term exposures, since the average

period of phone use in these studies was around

three years.

What research is needed to decide

whether RF exposure from wireless

phones poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and

epidemiological studies of people actually using

wireless phones would provide some of the data that

are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could

be completed in a few years. However, very large

numbers of animals would be needed to provide

reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one

exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that

is directly applicable to human populations, but ten

or more years' follow-up may be needed to provide

answers about some health effects, such as cancer.

This is because the interval between the time of

exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time

tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many

years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is

hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF

exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.

Many factors affect this measurement, such as the

angle at which the phone is held, or which model of

phone is used.

safety and usage information

What is FDA doing to find out more

about the possible health effects of

wireless phone RF?

FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology

Program and with groups of investigators around the

world to ensure that high priority animal studies are

conducted to address important questions about the

effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).

FDA has been a leading participant in the World

Health Organization international Electromagnetic

Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An

influential result of this work has been the

development of a detailed agenda of research

needs that has driven the establishment of new

research programs around the world. The Project

has also helped develop a series of public

information documents on EMF issues.

FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet

Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative

Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to

do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides

the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts

in government, industry, and academic

organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted

through contracts to independent investigators. The

initial research will include both laboratory studies

and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA

will also include a broad assessment of additional

research needs in the context of the latest research

developments around the world.

safety and usage information

What steps can I take to reduce my

exposure to radio frequency energy

from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products - 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 exposure to radio frequency energy

(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much

exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of

time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF

exposure.

• “If you must conduct extended conversations by

wireless phone every day, you could place more

distance between your body and the source of

the RF, since the exposure level drops off

dramatically with distance. For example, you

could use a headset and carry the wireless phone

away from your body or use a wireless phone

connected to a remote antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that

wireless phones are harmful. But if you are

concerned about the RF exposure from these

products, you can use measures like those

described above to reduce your RF exposure from

wireless phone use.

safety and usage information

What about children using wireless

phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to

users of wireless phones, including children and

teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower

exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the

measures described above would apply to children

and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the

time of wireless phone use and increasing the

distance between the user and the RF source will

reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national

governments have advised that children be

discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For

example, the government in the United Kingdom

distributed leaflets containing such a

recommendation in December 2000. They noted

that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone

causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their

recommendation to limit wireless phone use by

children was strictly precautionary; it was not based

on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

Do hands-free kits for wireless phones

reduce risks from exposure to RF

emissions?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF

emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason

to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-

free kits can be used with wireless phones for

convenience and comfort. These systems reduce

the absorption of RF energy in the head because the

phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will

not be placed against the head. On the other hand,

if the phone is mounted against the waist or other

part of the body during use, then that part of the

body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones

marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety

requirements regardless of whether they are used

against the head or against the body. Either

configuration should result in compliance with the

safety limit.

safety and usage information

Do wireless phone accessories that

claim to shield the head from RF

radiation work?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF

emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason

to believe that accessories that 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 “hand-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. In February 2002, the Federal trade

Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold

devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users

from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated

claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked

a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.

safety and usage information

What about wireless phone

interference with medical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones

can interact with some electronic devices. For this

reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method

to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of

implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators

from wireless telephones. This test method is now

part of a standard sponsored by the Association for

the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI).

The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device

manufacturers, and many other groups, was

completed in late 2000. This standard will allow

manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers

and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.

FDA has tested wireless phones and helped

develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).

This standard specifies test methods and

performance requirements for hearing aids and

wireless phones so that no interference occurs

when a person uses a compatible phone and a

compatible hearing aid at the same time. This

standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones

for possible interactions with other medical devices.

Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA

will conduct testing to assess the interference and

work to resolve the problem.

Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to

communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime.

But an important responsibility accompanies the

benefits of wireless phones, one that every user

must uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.

When using your wireless phone behind the wheel

of a car, practice good common sense and

remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its

features, such as speed dial and redial. If

available, these features help you to place

your call without taking your attention off

the road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device.

If possible, add an additional layer of

convenience and safety to your wireless

safety and usage information

phone with one of the many hands free

accessories available today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy

reach. Be able to access your wireless

phone without removing your eyes from

the road. If you get an incoming call at an

inconvenient time, let your voice mail

answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with

know you are driving; if necessary,

suspend the call in heavy traffic or

hazardous weather conditions. Rain,

sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic

can be hazardous.

5. Do not take notes or look up phone

numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to

do” list or flipping through your address

book takes attention away from your

primary responsibility, driving safely.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if

possible, place calls when you are not

moving or before pulling into traffic. Try

to plan calls when your car will be

stationary. If you need to make a call

while moving, dial only a few numbers,

check the road and your mirrors, then

continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting.

Make people you are talking with aware

you are driving and suspend

conversations that have the potential to

divert your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.

Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency

safety and usage information

number in the case of fire, traffic accident

or medical emergencies. Remember, it is

a free call on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. If you see an auto accident,

crime in progress or other serious

emergency where lives are in danger, call

9-1-1 or other local emergency number,

as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-

emergency wireless assistance number

when necessary. If you see a broken-

down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a

broken traffic signal, a minor traffic

accident where no one appears injured,

or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call

roadside assistance or other special non-

emergency number.

Operating Environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force

in any area and always switch your phone off

whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may

cause interference or danger. When connecting the

phone or any accessory to another device, read its

user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not

connect incompatible products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,

users are advised that for the satisfactory operation

of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is

recommended that the equipment should only be

safety and usage information

used in the normal operating position (held to your

ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Using Your Phone Near Other

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from

radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain

electronic equipment may not be shielded against

the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult the

manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a

minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be

maintained between a wireless phone and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the

pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with the

independent research and recommendations of

Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• should always keep the phone more than 15 cm

(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone

is switched on.

• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize potential interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place, switch your phone off immediately.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile

Phones

When some mobile phones are used near some

hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear

implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or

whining noise. Some hearing devices are more

immune than others to this interference noise, and

phones also vary in the amount of interference they

generate.

safety and usage information

The wireless telephone industry has developed

ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist

hearing device users in finding phones that may be

compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones

have been rated. Phones that are rated have the

rating on their box or a label 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

phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your

hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your

personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC

requirements and are likely to

generate less interference to hearing devices than

phones that are not labeled. M4 is

the better/higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC

requirements and are likely to be more usable with a

hearing device°Øs telecoil (°×T Switch°± or

°×Telephone Switch°±) than unrated phones. T4 is

the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all

hearing devices have telecoils in them.)Hearing

devices may also be measured for immunity to this

type of interference. Your hearing device

manufacturer or hearing health professional may

help you find results for your hearing device. The

more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you

are to experience interference noise from mobile

phones.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices,

consult the manufacturer of your device to determine

if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.

Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining

this information. Switch your phone off in health care

safety and usage information

facilities when any regulations posted in these areas

instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment that could be

sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor

vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its

representative regarding your vehicle. You should

also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that

has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted

notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Environments

Switch your phone 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 phone 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.

safety and usage information

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using

radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well

as user programmed functions, which cannot

guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore,

you should never rely solely on any wireless phone

for essential communications (medical emergencies,

for example).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone

must be switched on and in a service area with

adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not

be possible on all wireless phone networks or when

certain network services and/or phone features are

in use. Check with local service providers.

1)To make an emergency call:

If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2)Key in the emergency number for your present

location (for example, 911 or other official

emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by

location.

3)Press .

If certain features are in use (call barring, for

example), you may first need to deactivate those

features before you can make an emergency call.

Consult this document 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 phone 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.

Restricting Children's access to your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be

allowed to play with it because they could hurt

themselves and others, damage the phone or make

calls that increase your phone bill.

Cautions

Changes or modifications made in the radio phone,

not expressly approved by Samsung, will void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Only use approved batteries, antennas and

chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories

may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if

said accessories cause damage or a defect to the

phone.

Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex

piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid

dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.

Other Important Safety

Information

• Only qualified personnel should service the phone

or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation

or service may be dangerous and may invalidate

any warranty applicable to the device.

• Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment

in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or

explosive materials in the same compartment as

the phone, its parts or accessories.

• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember

that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not

place objects, including both installed or portable

wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or

in the air bag deployment area. If wireless

equipment is improperly installed and the air bag

inflates, serious injury could result.

safety and usage information

• Switch your phone off before boarding an aircraft.

The use of wireless phone in aircraft is illegal and

may be dangerous to the aircraft's operation.

• Failure to observe these instructions may lead to

the suspension or denial of telephone services to

the offender, or legal action, or both.

Product Performance

Getting the Most Out of Your Signal

Reception

The quality of each call you make or receive

depends on the signal strength in your area. Your

phone informs you of the current signal strength by

displaying a number of bars next to the signal

strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger

the signal.

If you're inside a building, being near a window may

give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15

minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is

automatically activated. If your phone is active, it

periodically rechecks service availability or you can

check it yourself by pressing any key.

Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a

message displays on the screen. When a signal is

found, your phone returns to standby mode.

Maintaining Your Phone's Peak

Performance

For the best care of your phone, only authorized

personnel should service your phone and

accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

There are several simple guidelines to operating your

phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory

service.

safety and usage information

• Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-

extended and over your shoulder.

• Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's

antenna.

• Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

• Speak directly into the phone's receiver.

• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to

rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet,

immediately turn the power off and remove the

battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for

service.

Availability of Various Features/

Ring Tones

Many services and features are network dependent

and may require additional subscription and/or

usage charges. Not all features are available for

purchase or use in all areas. Downloadable Ring

Tones may be available at an additional cost. Other

conditions and restrictions may apply. See your

service provider for additional information.

Battery Standby and Talk Time

Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone

usage patterns and conditions. Battery power

consumption depends on factors such as network

configuration, signal strength, operating temperature,

features selected, frequency of calls, and voice,

data, and other application usage patterns.

safety and usage information

Battery Precautions

• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged

in any way.

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network's base

station, it uses less power; talk and standby time

are greatly affected by the signal strength on the

cellular network and the parameters set by the

network operator.

• Battery charging time depends on the remaining

battery charge and the type of battery and

charger used. The battery can be charged and

discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually

wear out. When the operation time (talk time and

standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it

is time to buy a new battery.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge

itself over time.

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and

recharge your battery only with Samsung-

approved chargers. When a charger is not in use,

disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave

the battery connected to a charger for more than

a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging

capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or

warming first.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places,

such as in a car in summer or winter conditions,

as you will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the

battery. Always try to keep the battery at room

temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery

may temporarily not work, even when the battery

is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly

affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-

circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin,

clip or pen) causes a direct connection between

safety and usage information

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.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with

local regulations. In some areas, the disposal of

batteries in household or business trash may be

prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion

batteries, contact your nearest Samsung

authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not

dispose of batteries in a fire.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone 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 the phone and all its parts and accessories

out of the reach of small children.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and

liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic

circuits.

• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so

may cause an electric shock to you or damage to

the phone.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty

areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic

devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt

certain plastics.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the

phone warms up to its normal operating

temperature, moisture can form inside the phone,

which may damage the phone's electronic circuit

boards.

safety and usage information

• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough

handling can break internal circuit boards.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or

strong detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it with

a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-

water solution.

• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the

device's moving parts and prevent proper

operation.

• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices,

such as a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator.

The phone may explode when overheated.

• When the phone or battery gets wet, the label

indicating water damage inside the phone

changes color. In this case, phone repairs are no

longer guaranteed by the manufacturer's

warranty, even if the warranty for your phone has

not expired.

• If your phone has a flash or light, do not use it too

close to the eyes of people or animals. This may

cause damage to their eyes.

• Use only the supplied or an approved

replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas or

modified accessories may damage the phone

and violate regulations governing radio devices.

• If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is

not working properly, take it to your nearest

qualified service facility. The personnel there will

assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.
