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 t urn t he volum e down before plugging t he earphones into an audio source and
use only t he m inim um volum e set t ing necessary t o hear your conversat ion or m usic.
Install mobile phones and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle are securely
mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag deployment
area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury when air bags inflate
rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
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

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

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.

Ex posu re t o Radio Freque ncy ( RF) Signa ls
Cer t ifica t ion I nform at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm it ter and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufact ured not t o 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 endat ions of t wo expert organizat ions, t he National Counsel on
Radiat ion Prot ection and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ut e of
Elect rical and Electronics Engineers ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, the
recom m endat ions were developed by scientific and engineering expert s
drawn from industry, governm ent , and academ ia aft er extensive reviews
of t he scient ific lit erat ure relat ed to 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 rat e of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in unit s of wat ts per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones t o com ply wit h a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y t o give additional prot ect ion to the public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ents.
SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing posit ions accept ed by
the FCC wit h t he phone t ransm it ting at it s highest cert ified power level in
all t ested frequency bands. Alt hough the SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
cert ified power level, t he act ual SAR level of t he phone while operat ing
can be well below the m axim um value. This is because t he phone is
designed t o 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 st at ion antenna, the lower t he power output .
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o t he public, it m ust be
tested and certified t o t he FCC t hat it does not exceed the exposure lim it
est ablished by the FCC. Test s for each m odel phone are perform ed in
posit ions and locat ions ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on t he body) as required
by t he FCC.
For body worn operat ion, t his m odel phone has been t est ed and m eets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used wit h 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 the handset a m inim um of 1.5 cm from t he
body.
Non- com pliance wit h t he above rest rict ions m ay result in violat ion 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 sit e uses the phone FCC I D num ber,
A3LGTS3350. Som et im es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove t he bat tery pack
to find the num ber. Once you have t he FCC I D num ber for a particular
phone, follow t he instructions on t he websit e and it should provide values

Consum e r I nfor m at ion on W ir ele ss Phon es
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist rat ion (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 publicat ion includes t he
following inform at ion:
W hat k inds of phones a re t he subj e ct of t his update ?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones wit h
built-in antennas, oft en 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 dist ance bet ween t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safet y guidelines that were developed with
the advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is located at greater dist ances from the user, t he exposure t o RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing dist ance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed t o t he t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operat e at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim it s.
Do w ire le ss phones pose a he alt h haza rd?
The available scientific evidence does not show t hat any healt h 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 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 effects ( by heat ing tissue) , exposure
to low level RF t hat does not produce heating effect s causes no known
adverse healt h effect s. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e studies have suggest ed 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, ot her researchers have had
difficult y in reproducing those st udies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent results.
W hat is FDA's r ole conce rning t he sa fe t y of w ir eless phone s?
Under the law, FDA does not review t he safet y of radiat ion- em itting
consum er products such as wireless phones before they 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 t hat is hazardous to the user. I n such a
case, FDA could require t he m anufact urers of wireless phones to not ify
users of the healt h hazard and to repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that t he hazard no longer exist s.
Although t he exist ing scientific dat a do not j ustify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry t o t ake a num ber of steps,
including t he following:
“ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
the type em it ted by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure
to the user that is not necessary for device funct ion; and
“ Cooperat e in providing users of wireless phones wit h t he best
possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an health.
FDA belongs t o an interagency working group of t he federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y t o ensure coordinated
effort s at the federal level. The following agencies belong t o this working
group:
“ National I nst it ut e for Occupat ional Safet y and Health
“ Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupat ional Safet y and Health Adm inistrat ion
“ National Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nst it ut es of Health part icipat es in som e int eragency working
group act ivit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilities for wireless phones wit h the Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission (FCC) . All phones t hat are sold in the United
St at es m ust com ply wit h FCC safet y guidelines that lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and ot her health agencies for safet y quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es t he base st ations t hat t he wireless phone net works
rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operate at higher power t han do t he
wireless phones t hem selves, t he RF exposures t hat people get from t hese
base st at ions are t ypically t housands of tim es lower t han those t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect
of t he safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent.
W hat a re t he re sult s of t he re search done a lr ea dy?
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 t he effect s of radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
result s that often cannot be repeat ed in ot her 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 laborat ory anim als. However, m any of the
studies that 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 to be pre- disposed t o 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 t o t he conditions 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 health.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Bet ween t hem , t he studies invest igated any possible association
bet ween t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, t um ors of t he brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he studies dem onst rat ed t he
existence of any harm ful healt h effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions about
long- t erm exposures, since the average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around t hree years.
W hat r esearch is needed t o decide w hether RF ex posu re from
w ire le ss phones poses a he alt h risk?
A com binat ion of laborat ory st udies and epidem iological studies 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 st udies could be com plet ed in a few
years. However, very large num bers of anim als would be needed t o
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is directly applicable to
hum an populat ions, but ten or m ore years' follow- up m ay be needed t o
provide answers about som e healt h effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between the t im e of exposure t o a cancer- causing
agent and t he t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpret ation of epidem iological studies is ham pered by
difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day- to- day use of
wireless phones. Many fact ors affect t his m easurem ent, such as t he angle
at which the phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W hat is FDA doing t o find out m or e about t he possible healt h
effect s of w ireless phon e RF?
FDA is working wit h the U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of investigat ors around t he world t o ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im port ant quest ions about t he
effects of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF).
FDA has been a leading part icipant in t he World Healt h Organizat ion
int ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influential result of t his work has been t he 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 nternet Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat ive Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scient ific
oversight , obt aining input from expert s in governm ent , indust ry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A-funded research is conducted t hrough
cont racts t o independent invest igators. The init ial research will include
bot h laboratory studies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of addit ional research needs in t he
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world.
W hat st eps can I t ak e t o reduce m y ex posu re t o radio fre quency
energy from m y w ir eless phone?
I f there is a risk from t hese products - 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 t o m inim ize
your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF). Since tim e is a key fact or
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing t he am ount of tim e
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
“ I f you m ust conduct extended conversat ions by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore distance bet ween your body and
the source of t he RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram at ically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connect ed t o a rem ot e ant enna.
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rate t hat wireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from t hese
product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W hat a bout children using w ireless phone s?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o t ake st eps to
lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF), t he m easures described
above would apply to children and t eenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the t im e of wireless phone use and increasing the distance
bet ween t he user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by other nat ional governm ent s have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflet s containing such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed that no evidence exist s
that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or ot her ill effect s. Their
recom m endat ion to lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precautionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence that any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do hands- free k it s for w ire le ss ph ones re duce r isks from e xposur e
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 to believe that hands- free kits reduce
risks. Hands- free kit s can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and com fort. These system s reduce t he absorpt ion of RF energy in t he
head because t he phone, which is t he source of t he RF em issions, will not
be placed against t he head. On t he other hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against t he waist or ot her part of the body during use, t hen t hat part of
the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arketed in t he
U.S. are required to m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whet her t hey
are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configuration should
result in com pliance with the safet y lim it .
Do w ire le ss phone acce ssories t ha t cla im t o shield t he he ad from
RF ra dia t ion w or k?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason to believe that accessories t hat claim
to shield t he head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
claim t o shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve nothing m ore t han a m etallic accessory at tached to t he
phone. St udies have shown that t hese product s generally do not work as
advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kit s, t hese so- called “ shields” m ay int erfere
wit h proper operation of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost it s
power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, the Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged two
com panies t hat sold devices that claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users
from radiation wit h m aking false and unsubstantiat ed claim s. According to
FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis t o subst ant iat e t heir
claim .
W hat a bout w ir eless phone int erfe re nce w it h m edica l e quipm e nt ?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can int eract with som e
elect ronic devices. For t his reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed t est
m et hod t o m easure elect rom agnet ic interference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
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 inst rum ent at ion (AAMI ) . The final draft , a j oint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any ot her groups,
was com plet ed in late 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers t o
ensure t hat cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary st andard sponsored by the I nst it ut e of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m ethods and perform ance
requirem ents for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no interference
occurs when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com pat ible hearing
aid at t he sam e t im e. This standard was approved by the I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues to m onit or t he use of wireless phones for possible
int eractions with ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful interference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct t esting t o assess the int erference and
work t o resolve the problem .

Road Safe ty
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 port ant 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 responsibility. 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 t o know your wireless phone and it s features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese feat ures help you to place your
call wit hout taking your at tent ion off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
addit ional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone
wit h one of the m any hands free accessories available today.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from the 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 t he person you are speaking wit h 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. Jot ting
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book takes
attent 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 int o traffic. Try t o plan calls
when your car will be st at ionary. 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 ot ional conversat ions that m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are t alking wit h aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions that have the pot ential t o divert your
attent ion from t he road.
8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help. Dial 9- 1- 1 or ot her local
em ergency num ber in t he 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 other 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 to do for you.
10. Call roadside assist ance or a special non-em ergency wireless
assistance num ber when necessary. I f you see a broken- down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a m inor

select ed, frequency of calls, and voice, dat a, and ot her application usage
patterns.
Ba t tery Preca ut ions
Never use any charger or bat t ery that is dam aged in any way.
Use t he bat tery only for it s int ended purpose.
I f you use t he phone near the net work's base st at ion, it uses less
power; t alk and st andby t im e are great ly affect ed by t he signal
strengt h on t he cellular net work and the param et ers set by t he
net work operat or.
Bat t ery charging tim e depends on the rem aining battery charge
and t he t ype of bat t ery and charger used. The bat tery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of tim es, but it will gradually
wear out . When t he operat ion t im e ( t alk tim e and st andby t im e) is
not iceably short er t han norm al, it is t im e to buy a new bat t ery.
