Health and safety information
Ex posur e t o Radio Fr eque ncy ( RF) Signals
Cer t ificat ion I nform ation ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm it t er and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufact ured not to exceed t he exposure lim its for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by the 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 endations of two expert organizat ions, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiation Protect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst itut e of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n both cases, t he
recom m endations were developed by scient ific and engineering experts
drawn from indust ry, governm ent , and academ ia aft er ext ensive reviews
of t he scientific lit erat ure related to the 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 the Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR). The
SAR is a m easure of t he rat e of absorption of RF energy by the hum an
body expressed in units of wat t s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones to com ply with a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure lim it incorporates a substant ial m argin of
safet y to give additional protect ion t o t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ent s.
SAR test s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing positions accepted by
the FCC with the phone transm it t ing at its highest certified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is det erm ined at the highest
cert ified power level, the act ual SAR level of t he phone while operat ing
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because the phone is
designed to operat e at m ult iple power levels so as to use only t he power
required t o reach the net work. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base stat ion ant enna, the lower the power out put.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o t he public, it m ust be
test ed and certified to the FCC that 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
posit ions and locations (e.g. at t he ear and worn on t he body) as required
by t he FCC.
For body worn operation, t his m odel phone has been t est ed and m eets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Sam sung accessory
designat ed for t his product or when used wit h an accessory t hat cont ains
no m etal and that posit ions t he handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from the
body.
Non- com pliance with t he above rest rict ions m ay result in violat ion of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform ation on t his and ot her m odel phones can be viewed on- line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the phone FCC I D num ber for
search, A3LGTI 9050. Som etim es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove t he
batt ery pack t o find the num ber. Once you have the FCC I D num ber for a
particular phone, follow the instruct ions on t he website and it should
provide values for typical or m axim um SAR for a part icular phone.

Consum e r I nform at ion on W ir eless Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist ration ( FDA) has published a series of
Questions and Answers for consum ers relating t o radio frequency (RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the
following inform ation:
W ha t k inds of phones a re t he subj ect of t his upda t e ?
The t erm 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 t he short distance bet ween t he phone
and the user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safety guidelines that were developed wit h
the advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safety agencies. When t he
phone is located at great er distances from t he user, the exposure to 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 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 com pliance lim its.
Do w irele ss phones pose a hea lt h ha za r d?
The available scient ific evidence does not show that any health problem s
are associat ed wit h 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 the 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 health effect s ( by heating t issue) , exposure
to low level RF that does not produce heating effect s causes no known
adverse healt h effects. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e st udies have suggested 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 those studies, or in det erm ining the reasons for
inconsist ent results.
W ha t is FD A's r ole concerning the sa fet y of w ire le ss phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review t he safety of radiation- em it t ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it
does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut hority t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown to em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level that is hazardous t o t he user. I n such a
case, FDA could require t he m anufact urers of wireless phones to not ify
users of t he health hazard and to repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that t he hazard no longer exist s.
Alt hough t he exist ing scient ific data do not j ust ify FDA regulatory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone industry 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
the t ype em it ted by wireless phones;
z “ 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
z “ Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with t he best
possible inform ation on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs t o an interagency working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibilit y for different aspects of RF safet y to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working
group:
z “ National I nst itut e for Occupational Safet y and Healt h
z “ Environm ental Protect ion Agency
z “ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
z “ Occupat ional Safety and Healt h Adm inist rat ion
z “ National Telecom m unications and I nform at ion Adm inist ration
The National I nst itut es of Health participates in som e int eragency working
group act ivities, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless phones with the Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission (FCC). All phones t hat are sold in the United
St ates m ust com ply with FCC safet y guidelines that lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other healt h agencies for safety questions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es the base stat ions t hat the wireless phone net works
rely upon. While t hese base stat ions operat e at higher power t han do t he
wireless phones them selves, the RF exposures t hat people get from t hese
base stat ions are typically t housands of t im es lower t han t hose t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base stat ions are thus not t he prim ary subject
of t he safety quest ions discussed in t his docum ent.
W ha t a r e t he result s of t he r esearch done alr eady?
The research done t hus far has produced conflicting result s, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in their research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s investigat ing t he effects of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures characterist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
results t hat often cannot be repeated in other laborat ories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerat e
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 that had
been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer-causing chem icals so
as to be pre-disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
studies exposed the anim als to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not sim ilar to the conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert aint y what t he result s of such
studies m ean for hum an health.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Between them , the studies invest igated 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 the brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he studies dem onst rated t he
existence of any harm ful health effects from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer questions about
long- t erm exposures, since the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
W ha t r esearch is n eeded t o decide w he t her RF ex posure fr om
w ire less phones pose s a hea lt h risk ?
A com bination 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. Lifetim e anim al exposure studies could be com pleted in a few
years. However, very large num bers of anim als would be needed to
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological studies can provide dat a that 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 health effects, such as cancer. This is
because the int erval bet ween the t im e of exposure to a cancer- causing
agent and the tim e t um ors develop - if they do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpret ation 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 fact ors affect t his 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 FD A doing t o find out m or e about t he possible hea lt h
effe ct s of w ireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigat ors around t he world to ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al studies are conduct ed t o address im port ant questions about t he
effect s of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in t he World Health Organizat ion
int ernational Elect rom agnetic Fields ( EMF) Project since its incept ion in
1996. An influent ial result of this work has been the developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven t he 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 ents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nt ernet Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat ive Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scientific
oversight , obt aining input from experts 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 initial research will include
both laborat ory st udies and studies 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 steps can I t ake to r educe m y exposu re t o r adio fr eque ncy
ener gy fr om m y w ire less phone?
I f there is a risk from these product s - and at this point we do not know
that t here is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potent ial risks, you can t ake a few sim ple st eps to m inim ize
your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) . Since tim e is a key factor
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing the am ount of t im e
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
z “ I f you m ust conduct extended conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore dist ance bet ween your body and
the source of t he RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram atically with dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body.
Again, the scientific data do not dem onst rate that 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 a bout children using w irele ss phone s?
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 t ake st eps t o
lower exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) , the m easures described
above would apply t o children and t eenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the tim 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 ents have advised t hat
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he United Kingdom dist ributed leaflets cont aining such
a recom m endation in Decem ber 2000. They noted t hat no evidence exists
that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or ot her ill effect s. Their
recom m endation t o lim it wireless phone use by children was strict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence that any health
hazard exist s.
Do ha nds- fr ee k its for w ireless phones reduce risk s from ex posure
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 to believe t hat hands- free kits reduce
risks. Hands- free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These system s reduce the absorpt ion of RF energy in the
head because the phone, which is the source of t he RF em issions, will not
be placed against the head. On t he ot her hand, if t he phone is m ounted
against the waist or other part of t he body during use, t hen that part of
the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in the
U.S. are required t o m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whet her t hey
are used against the head or against the body. Eit her configuration should
result in com pliance with the safet y lim it .
Do w irele ss phone accessorie s tha t claim t o shield the he ad from
RF r adiat 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 t hat claim
to shield the head from those em issions reduce risks. Som e product s that
claim to shield the user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
others involve nothing m ore than a m etallic accessory attached to t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat these product s generally do not work as
advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kit s, t hese so-called “shields” m ay interfere
with proper operation of the phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost its
power to com pensate, leading t o an increase in RF absorption. I n
February 2002, the Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged t wo
com panies that sold devices that claim ed t o protect wireless phone users
from radiation with m aking false and unsubstant iat ed claim s. According to
FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis to subst ant iat e t heir
claim .
W ha t a bout w ir eless phone int er fere nce w it h m edica l e quipm 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 agnetic int erference ( EMI ) of im planted
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a standard sponsored by the 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 plet ed in lat e 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers to
ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators 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 itut e of Electrical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This standard specifies test m et hods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no interference
occurs when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com patible hearing
aid at the sam e t im e. This st andard was approved by the I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues t o m onit or t he use of wireless phones for possible
int eract ions wit h other m edical devices. Should harm ful interference be
found to occur, FDA will conduct t est ing to assess t he interference and
work t o resolve the problem .

Roa d Safet y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y to com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im e. But an im portant responsibilit y
accom panies t he benefit s 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 t he following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and it s feat ures, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese feat ures help you t o place your
call without taking your attention off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone
with one of t he m any hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from t he road. I f
you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient tim e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let t he 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 t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not take not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jotting
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes
at t ent ion away from your prim ary responsibilit y, 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 t o plan calls
when your car will be st ationary. 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 cont inue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em ot ional conversations t hat m ay be
dist racting. Make people you are t alking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he pot ent ial to divert your
at t ent ion 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 t he case of fire, traffic 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 , crim e in progress or ot her serious em ergency
where lives are in danger, call 9-1- 1 or other 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 to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-
em ergency num ber.

network configuration, signal strength, operating tem perature, feat ures
selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage
patt erns.
Ba t t e ry Pr ecaut ions
z Never use any charger or battery that is dam aged in any way.
z Use the batt ery only for it s int ended purpose.
z I f you use the phone near the net work's base stat ion, it uses less
power; talk and standby tim e are greatly affect ed by the signal
strength on t he cellular network and t he param et ers set by the
network operator.
z Battery charging tim e depends on the rem aining batt ery charge
and the type of bat t ery and charger used. The bat t ery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of t im es, but it will gradually
wear out. When t he operation tim e ( t alk tim e and st andby tim e) is
not iceably shorter than norm al, it is t im e to buy a new bat t ery.
z I f left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge it self over tim e.
z Use only Sam sung- approved bat t eries and recharge your bat t ery
only wit h Sam sung- approved chargers. When a charger is not in
use, disconnect it from t he power source. Do not leave the batt ery
connect ed t o a charger for m ore than a week, since overcharging

not work, even when t he bat t ery is fully charged. Li- ion bat t eries
are part icularly affected by t em peratures below 0 ° C ( 32 ° F).
z Do not short - circuit the battery. Accidental short - circuit ing can
occur when a m etallic obj ect ( coin, clip or pen) causes a direct
connect ion bet ween t he + and - t erm inals of t he bat t ery ( m etal
strips on t he batt ery), for exam ple when you carry a spare bat t ery
in a pocket or bag. Short - circuiting the term inals m ay dam age the
batt ery or t he object causing the short - circuiting.
z Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulat ions. I n
som e areas, the disposal of bat t eries in household or business
trash m ay be prohibit ed. For safe disposal options for Li-I on
batt eries, cont act your nearest Sam sung aut horized service center.
