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

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

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 posur e t o Radio Frequen cy ( RF) Signals
Cer t ificat ion I nform at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transm itt er and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufact ured not t o exceed the exposure lim it s for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by t he Federal Com m unications Com m ission (FCC) of the U.S.
governm ent. These FCC exposure lim its are derived from the
recom m endations of t wo expert organizations, t he National Counsel on
Radiat ion Protect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ut e of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n both cases, the
recom m endations were developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia after ext ensive reviews
of t he scient ific literat ure related 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 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 watt s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones to com ply wit h a safety lim it of 1.6 watts per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporates a subst antial m argin of
safet y to give additional protect ion t o t he public and t o account for any
variations in m easurem ent s.
SAR test s are conducted using st andard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with t he phone transm itt ing at it s highest certified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is determ ined at the highest
cert ified power level, t he act ual SAR level of t he phone while operating
can be well below the m axim um value. This is because the phone is
designed t o operat e at m ultiple power levels so as to use only t he power
required t o reach t he network. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base stat ion antenna, 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
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 the ear and worn on t he body) as required
by t he 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
designated for t his product or when used wit h an accessory that contains
no m etal and that positions the handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from the
body.
Non- com pliance with the 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 9308. Som et im es it m ay be necessary to rem ove the
batt ery pack to find t he num ber. Once you have t he 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

Consum er I nform at ion on W ir eless Phon es
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist ration ( FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions 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 ar e t he subj ect of t his updat e?
The t erm wireless phone refers here to hand- held wireless phones with
built - in antennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose t he user t o m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of t he short distance between t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unications Com m ission safety guidelines t hat were developed with
the advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When the
phone is located at great er dist ances from t he user, the exposure to RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing dist ance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed t o the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well within t he FCC's com pliance lim it s.
Do w ire less phones pose a he a lt h ha za rd?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problem s
are associated 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 st and-by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce healt h effect s (by heating t issue), 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 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 additional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing t hose st udies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent results.
W ha t is FD A's r ole concerning t he sa fet y of w ir eless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safet y of radiat ion- em it ting
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
authority to take act ion if wireless phones are shown t o em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. I n such a
case, FDA could require the m anufact urers of wireless phones t o notify
users of t he health hazard and t o repair, replace or recall the phones so
that t he hazard no longer exist s.
Alt hough t he exist ing scientific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulatory actions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry to t ake a num ber of st eps,
including t he following:
“ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
the t ype em it t ed by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way t hat 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 t he best
possible inform ation on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs to an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies that
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safety to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong t o this working
group:
“ National I nst itut e for Occupat ional Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ental Prot ect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupational Safety and Health Adm inistration
“ National Telecom m unications and I nform ation Adm inist ration
The National I nst itut es of Healt h participates in som e interagency working
group act ivities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with t he Federal
Com m unications Com m ission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
St ates m ust com ply with FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other healt h agencies for safet y quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stat ions that the wireless phone networks
rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operate at higher power than do the
wireless phones them selves, the RF exposures that people get from t hese
base stat ions are t ypically t housands of t im es lower than those t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base st ations are thus not t he prim ary subject
of t he safety quest ions discussed in this docum ent .
W ha t a re t he re sults of t he r esea rch done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m ethods. Anim al
experim ents invest igating t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures characterist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. 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 t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als that had
been genet ically engineered or treated wit h cancer- causing chem icals so
as t o be pre- disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
studies exposed t he anim als to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not sim ilar t o t he conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know with certaint y what the results of such
studies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Between them , t he st udies invest igated any possible association
between 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 other cancers. None of the st udies dem onstrated 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- t erm exposures, since t he average period of phone use in these
studies was around t hree years.
W ha t r esearch is nee ded t o de cide w het he r RF e x posure from
w ire less phones pose s a he a lt h risk?
A com bination of laboratory st udies and epidem iological studies of people
act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he data t hat are
needed. Lifetim e anim al exposure st udies 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 oting effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can provide data 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 effect s, such as cancer. This is
because the int erval bet ween t he t im e of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the tim e tum ors develop - if they do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The interpret 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 this m easurem ent, such as the angle
at which the phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W ha t is FD A doing to find out m ore a bou t t he possible he a lt h
effect s of w irele ss phone RF?
FDA is working with t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and with
groups of invest igators around the world to ensure t hat high priority
anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im portant questions about t he
effect s of exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
int ernational Elect rom agnetic Fields (EMF) Proj ect since its inception in
1996. An influential result of t his work has been t he developm ent of a
detailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven t he est ablishm ent of
new research program s around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public inform ation docum ents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nt ernet Association (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 the scientific
oversight , obt aining input from expert s in governm ent, industry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A- funded research is conduct ed t hrough
contract s t o independent invest igators. The init ial research will include
both laboratory studies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of additional research needs in t he
context of t he lat est research developm ents around the world.
W ha t steps ca n I take t o re duce m y exposure t o ra dio fr equency
ener gy from m y w ir eless phone?
I f there is a risk from these product s - and at this point we do not know
that 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 to m inim ize
your exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) . Since t im 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 dist ance between your body and
the source of t he RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram atically with distance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body.
Again, the scientific data do not dem onst rate 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 a bout children using w ir eless ph ones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to 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 to children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the tim e of wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance
between 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,
the governm ent in the United Kingdom dist ributed leaflet s 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 other ill effect s. Their
recom m endation to lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
Do ha nds- free k its for w ir eless phones r educe 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, t here is no reason t o believe that hands- free kits reduce
risks. Hands- free kits 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 the 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 the body during use, then t hat part of
the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in the
U.S. are required to m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whet her they
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 ire le ss phone a cce ssories tha t claim t o shield t he hea d from
RF r adiat ion w ork ?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe that accessories t hat claim
to shield the head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s that
claim t o shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
others involve not hing m ore than a m et allic accessory at t ached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown that these product s generally do not work as
advertised. Unlike “ hand- free” kits, these so-called “shields” m ay int erfere
with proper operat ion of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost its
power to com pensate, leading to an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, the Federal t rade Com m ission (FTC) charged two
com panies t hat sold devices that claim ed to protect wireless phone users
from radiation with m aking false and unsubst antiat ed claim s. According to
FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis t o subst antiat e their
claim .
W ha t a bout w irele ss phone int erfere nce w it h m edical equipm ent ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can interact wit h som e
elect ronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed t est
m et hod t o m easure elect rom agnetic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Association for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum ent ation ( AAMI ) . The final draft, a j oint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any other groups,
was com plet ed in lat e 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers to
ensure t hat 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 it ut e of Elect rical and Elect ronic
Engineers (I EEE). This st andard specifies test 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 patible phone and a com patible hearing
aid at t he sam e tim e. This st andard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000.
FDA continues t o m onit or the use of wireless phones for possible
int eractions wit h other m edical devices. Should harm ful interference be
found to occur, FDA will conduct test ing t o assess t he int erference and
work t o resolve t he problem .

Roa d Safety
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y to com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anytim e. But an im portant responsibility
accom panies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and it s features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese features help you to place your
call wit hout t aking your at tention 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 the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weather
conditions. 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. Jot t ing
down a “ t o do” list or flipping through your address book takes
att ention away from your prim ary responsibilit y, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not m oving or before pulling int o t raffic. Try t o plan calls
when your car will be st ationary. I f you need t o m ake a call while
m oving, dial only a few num bers, check the road and your m irrors,
then cont inue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em otional conversat ions that m ay be
dist racting. Make people you are t alking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions that have the potential t o divert your
att ention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9- 1- 1 or other local
em ergency num ber in the 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 other 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 st olen, call roadside assistance or other special non-
em ergency num ber.
