Safety warnings
Keep your phone away from small children and pets
Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach of small children or animals.
Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure t o sound at high volum es can cause hearing dam age.
Always turn the volum e down before plugging t he earphones int o an audio source and
use only the m inimum volum e setting necessary to hear your conversation 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.
Safety precautions
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all regulations that restrict the use of
mobile phones while driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your safety
when possible.
Follow all safety warnings and regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a mobile phone in a certain area.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your phone or cause injury.
Turn off the phone near medical equipment
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities.
Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel.
Turn off the phone or disable the wireless functions when in an aircraft
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline
regulations and turn off your phone or switch to a mode that disables the wireless
functions when directed by airline personnel.
Protect batteries and chargers from damage
Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or
above 45° C/ 113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity and
life of your batteries.
Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a connection
between the + and - terminals of your batteries and lead to temporary or permanent
battery damage.
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Handle your phone carefully and sensibly
Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage. Do not
handle your phone with wet hands. Water damage to your phone can void your
manufacturer’s warranty.
Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to
moving parts.
Your phone is a complex electronic device— protect it from impacts and
rough handling to avoid serious damage.
Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or
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.
Health and safety information
Ex posure t o Radio Freque ncy ( RF) Signals
Cert ifica tion I nform at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transm itt er and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufactured not to exceed the exposure lim its for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by the Federal Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC) of the U.S.
governm ent . These FCC exposure lim its are derived from t he
recom m endations of t wo expert organizations, the National Counsel on
Radiat ion Protection and Measurem ent (NCRP) and t he I nstitut e of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n both cases, the
recom m endations were developed by scient ific and engineering expert s
drawn from industry, governm ent, and academ ia after ext ensive reviews
of the scient ific lit erat ure related t o the biological effects 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 t he rate of absorption 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 with a safety lim it of 1.6 watt s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporates a subst ant ial m argin of
safety to give additional protect ion t o t he public and to account for any
variations in m easurem ent s.
SAR t ests are conduct ed using st andard operating positions accept ed by
the FCC with the phone t ransm itting at its highest certified power level in
all test ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is determ ined at t he highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because the phone is
designed t o operate at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required to reach the net work. I n general, t he closer you are to a wireless
base st at ion antenna, t he lower t he power out put.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o the public, it m ust be
test ed and cert ified t o the FCC t hat it does not exceed the exposure lim it
est ablished by t he FCC. Test s for each m odel phone are perform ed in
positions and locat ions ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC.
For body worn operation, t his m odel phone has been test ed and m eets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Sam sung accessory
designat ed for this product or when used wit h an accessory that cont ains
no m et al and that positions t he handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from t he
body.
Non-com pliance with the above rest rictions m ay result in violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform at ion on this and ot her m odel phones can be viewed on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses t he phone FCC I D num ber,
A3LGTI 9001. Som et im es it m ay be necessary to rem ove the battery pack
to find t he num ber. Once you have the FCC I D num ber for a particular
phone, follow t he inst ruct ions on t he website and it should provide values
for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a particular phone. Additional product
specific SAR inform ation can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/ cgb/ sar.
Consum e r I nform at ion on W irele ss Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist ration (FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relat ing t o radio frequency (RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publicat ion includes t he
following inform ation:
W ha t kinds of phone s are t h e subj e ct of this upda t e?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with
built -in antennas, often called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose the user t o m easurable radio
frequency energy (RF) because of the short dist ance between the phone
and the user's head. These RF exposures are lim ited by Federal
Com m unications Com m ission safety guidelines t hat were developed with
the advice of FDA and other federal health and safet y agencies. When the
phone is locat ed at greater dist ances from the user, the exposure t o 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 the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF
exposures well wit hin the FCC's com pliance lim its.
Do w ireless phones pose a he alt h ha za rd?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any healt h problem s
are associat ed with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that wireless 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 the stand-by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce healt h effects ( by heating tissue), exposure
to low level RF that does not produce heating effect s causes no known
adverse healt h effect s. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Som e st udies have suggest ed t hat som e
biological effects m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed
by additional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing t hose st udies, or in det erm ining the reasons for
inconsistent result s.
W ha t is FD A's role concerning t he safety of w ireless phones?
Under t he law, FDA does not review the safety of radiat ion- em itt ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or m edical devices. However, the agency has
authorit y to take action if wireless phones are shown to em it radio
frequency energy (RF) at a level t hat is hazardous t o the user. I n such a
case, FDA could require the m anufact urers of wireless phones to notify
users of the healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall the phones so
that the hazard no longer exist s.
Although the exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to t ake a num ber of st eps,
including the following:
“ Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the t ype em itt ed by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way that m inim izes any RF exposure
to the user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and
“ Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of t he federal agencies that
have responsibilit y for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinat ed
efforts at t he federal level. The following agencies belong to this working
group:
“ National I nstitut e for Occupational Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ental Prot ection Agency
“ Federal Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupational Safet y and Health Adm inist ration
“ National Telecom m unications and I nform ation Adm inist ration
The National I nst itutes of Healt h part icipat es in som e interagency working
group activit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilities for wireless phones with t he Federal
Com m unications Com m ission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
St at es m ust com ply wit h FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other healt h agencies for safet y questions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates t he base st at ions t hat the wireless phone net works
rely upon. While these base st at ions operat e at higher power t han do the
wireless phones t hem selves, the RF exposures t hat people get from t hese
base st at ions are typically thousands of t im es lower than t hose they can
get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are t hus not the prim ary subject
of the safet y questions discussed in t his docum ent .
W ha t ar e the re sult s of t he resea r ch done already?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing results, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igat ing the effect s of radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
results that oft en cannot be repeat ed in other laborat ories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerate
the developm ent of cancer in laborat ory anim als. However, m any of the
studies t hat showed increased tum or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genetically engineered or t reated wit h cancer- causing chem icals so
as t o be pre- disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
studies exposed the anim als to RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar to the condit ions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert ainty what t he results of such
studies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology studies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Between t hem , the studies investigat ed any possible association
bet ween t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoustic neurom a, t um ors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or other cancers. None of the studies dem onst rated t he
exist ence of any harm ful health effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions about
long- term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
W ha t research is needed to decide w he ther RF e x posure from
w ireless phones pose s a healt h risk?
A com binat ion of laboratory studies and epidem iological st udies of people
act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he data that are
needed. Lifetim 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 oting effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can provide 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 to
provide answers about som e health effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval bet ween the tim e of exposure to a cancer- causing
agent and t he t im e tum ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The interpret at ion of epidem iological studies is ham pered by
difficulties in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day-t o- day use of
wireless phones. Many fact ors affect this m easurem ent, such as t he angle
at which the 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 about t he possible he alth
effe cts of w ireless phone RF?
FDA is working wit h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of investigat ors around the world to ensure that high priority
anim al st udies are conduct ed to address im portant quest ions about t he
effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading part icipant in the World Health Organizat ion
international Electrom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since its inception in
1996. An influent ial result of t his work has been the developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven the establishm ent of
new research program s around t he world. The Proj ect has also helped
develop a series of public inform ation docum ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nternet Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat ive Research and Developm ent Agreem ent (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides t he scient ific
oversight, obt aining input from expert s in governm ent, industry, and
academ ic organizations. CTI A- funded research is conducted through
contract s t o independent investigat ors. The init ial research will include
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of additional research needs in t he
context of the latest research developm ents around t he world.
W ha t st eps can I ta k e t o reduce m y exposure t o radio fr eque ncy
energy from m y w ire le ss phone ?
I f t here is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know
that there is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even pot ent ial risks, you can take a few sim ple steps t o m inim ize
your exposure to radio frequency energy (RF) . Since tim e is a key fact or
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing the am ount of tim e
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
“ I f you m ust conduct extended conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore distance between your body and
the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dram atically with 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 connected to a rem ote ant enna.
Again, t he scient ific data do not dem onstrat e t hat wireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure from 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 ha t about ch ildren using w ir e less phones?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless
phones, including children and teenagers. I f you want t o take st eps to
lower exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) , the m easures described
above would apply t o children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing t he t im e of wireless phone use and increasing the dist ance
bet ween t he user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by ot her national governm ent s have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in the United Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflets containing such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They noted t hat no evidence exist s
that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or ot her ill effect s. Their
recom m endation to lim it wireless phone use by children was strict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence that any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do hands- free kits for w ir e less phones reduce risk s from ex posur e
t o RF e m issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands- free kits reduce
risks. Hands-free kit s can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em s reduce the absorpt ion of RF energy in the
head because the phone, which is t he source of the RF em issions, will not
be placed against the head. On t he other hand, if the phone is m ount ed
against the waist or other part of t he body during use, then that part of
the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arketed in t he
U.S. are required to m eet safety requirem ents regardless of whet her t hey
are used against the head or against t he body. Eit her configuration should
result in com pliance with t he safety lim it .
Do w ire le ss phone acce ssor ie s tha t cla im t o shield the hea d from
RF radiat ion w or k ?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim
to shield the head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e products t hat
claim to shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
others involve nothing m ore than a m et allic accessory at t ached to the
phone. St udies have shown t hat these product s generally do not work as
advert ised. Unlike “ hand-free” kits, t hese so-called “ shields” m ay int erfere
wit h proper operation of the 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, the Federal trade Com m ission (FTC) charged two
com panies that sold devices t hat claim ed to protect wireless phone users
from radiation wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iated claim s. According t o
FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis to subst ant iate their
claim .
W ha t about w ir e less phone inter fer e nce w ith m edical equipm ent ?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with som e
electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed test
m et hod to m easure elect rom agnet ic interference (EMI ) of im planted
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless telephones. 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 instrum ent ation (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 lat e 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers to
ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has test ed wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary st andard sponsored by the I nst it ut e of Electrical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m ethods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference
occurs when a person uses a com patible phone and a com pat ible hearing
aid at the sam e tim e. This standard was approved by the I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues t o m onit or t he use of wireless phones for possible
interact ions with ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful interference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct t est ing to assess t he interference and
work to resolve t he problem .

Road Safet y
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibility
accom panies t he benefits of wireless phones, one t hat every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind t he wheel of a car, practice good com m on sense
and rem em ber the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, these features help you t o place your
call without t aking your at tention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safet y t o your wireless phone
wit h one of the m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access
your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from t he 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 the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the 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 not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jott ing
down a “ to do” list or flipping t hrough your address book takes
at tention away from your prim ary responsibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess t he t raffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not m oving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls
when your car will be st at ionary. I f you need to 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 stressful or em ot ional conversations t hat m ay be
distract ing. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have the pot ential to divert your
at tention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
em ergency num ber in the 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 auto accident, crim e in progress or ot her 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 t o 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 traffic signal, a m inor
traffic accident where no one appears inj ured, or a vehicle you
know t o be stolen, call roadside assist ance or other special non-
em ergency num ber.

Ba tt ery St andby and Talk Tim e
St andby and t alk t im es will vary depending on phone usage pat terns and
condit ions. Battery power consum pt ion depends on fact ors such as
net work configuration, signal st rengt h, operat ing tem perature, features
selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage
pat terns.
Ba tt ery Preca ut ions
Never use any charger or bat tery t hat is dam aged in any way.
Use t he bat tery only for it s intended purpose.
I f you use the phone near t he network's base st at ion, it uses less
power; t alk and st andby t im e are greatly affect ed by the signal
strengt h on t he cellular net work and t he param et ers set by the
net work operat or.
Batt ery charging t im e depends on t he rem aining bat tery charge
and the type of bat tery and charger used. The bat tery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of t im es, but it will gradually
wear out . When t he operation tim e ( talk tim e and standby t im e) is
noticeably shorter t han norm al, it is tim e t o buy a new bat t ery.
I f left unused, a fully charged bat t ery will discharge itself over t im e.
