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 t urn t he volum e down before plugging t he earphones int o an audio source and
use only t he m inim um volum e sett ing necessary t o 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 posur e t o Ra dio Fre que ncy ( RF) Signals
Cer t ificat ion I nform at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm it ter and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufactured 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 t he U.S.
governm ent . These FCC exposure lim its are derived from the
recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizat ions, t he National Counsel on
Radiat ion Protect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and the I nstit ute of
Elect rical and Electronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n both cases, t he
recom m endat ions 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 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 Rate ( 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 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 protection to t he public and to account for any
variat ions in m easurem ent s.
SAR t est s are conduct ed using standard operat ing posit ions accept ed by
the FCC wit h t he phone transm it ting at it s highest certified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Alt hough t he 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 t he net work. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base st at ion ant enna, t he lower t he power out put.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale to t he public, it m ust be
test ed and cert ified to t he FCC t hat it does not exceed t he 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 operation, this m odel phone has been tested and m eet s
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 that cont ains
no m et al and that posit ions 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 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 t he phone FCC I D num ber for

case, FDA could require t he m anufacturers of wireless phones t o notify
users of the healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that the hazard no longer exists.
Although t he exist ing scientific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged the 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 itt ed by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure
to t he user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and
“ Cooperat e in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of the federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspects of RF safet y t o ensure coordinated
effort s at t he federal level. The following agencies belong to t his working
group:
“ Nat ional I nstit ut e for Occupat ional Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ental Protect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupational Safet y and Healt h Adm inistrat ion
“ Nat ional Telecom m unications and I nform at ion Adm inist ration
The Nat ional I nstit utes of Health part icipat es in som e interagency working
group act ivit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless phones wit h the Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) . All phones t hat are sold in t he 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 ot her healt h agencies for safet y quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es t he base st at ions that the 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 t hose they can
get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the prim ary subj ect
of t he safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent.
W ha t a r e t he result s of t he research done a lrea dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in their research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures charact eristic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
result s t hat often cannot be repeat ed 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 laborat ory anim als. However, m any of the
studies t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genetically engineered or treated 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 t he anim als t o RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o the condit ions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert ainty 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. Bet ween t hem , t he st udies invest igat ed 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 the st udies dem onstrated 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 t he average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around t hree years.
W ha t r ese a rch is ne eded t o de cide w he t her RF e x posur e from
w ir eless phone s pose s a h ealt h r isk ?
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 the dat a that 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 ot ing effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a that is direct ly 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 effect s, such as cancer. This is
because the interval bet ween t he t im e of exposure to a cancer- causing
agent and the t im e t um ors develop - if they do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpret at ion of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by
difficult ies 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 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 ore about t he possible healt h
effect s of w ire less phone RF?
FDA is working wit h the U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigat ors around t he world to ensure that high priorit y
anim al st udies are conducted to address im port ant quest ions about the
effects of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF).
FDA has been a leading part icipant in the World Healt h Organizat ion
int ernational Electrom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influential result of t his work has been the developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs that has driven t he est ablishm ent of
new research program s around the world. The Proj ect has also helped
develop a series of public inform at ion docum ents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nt ernet Associat ion (CTI A) have
a form al Cooperative Research and Developm ent Agreem ent (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scientific
oversight , obtaining 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 to independent invest igators. The init ial research will include
bot h laborat ory st udies 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 the world.
W ha t st e ps can I t ake t o r educe m y ex posur e t o r a dio freque ncy
ener gy from m y w irele ss phone?
I f there is a risk from t hese product s - and at t his point we do not know
that there is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even pot ential 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 t im e is a key fact or
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.
“ I f you m ust conduct ext ended conversat ions 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 at ically with distance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body.
Again, t he scientific dat a 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 those described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W ha t a bout ch ildre n u sing w irele ss phone s?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o take 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 dist ance
bet ween t he user and the 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 t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflets containing such
a recom m endation in Decem ber 2000. They not ed t hat no evidence exist s
that using a wireless phone causes brain tum 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 t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do hands- fr ee k it s for w irele ss phones r educe risk s fr om 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, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands- free kit s reduce
risks. Hands- free kit s can be used wit h wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em 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 the head. On t he ot her hand, if t he phone is m ounted
against the waist or other 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 t o m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whether t hey
are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configurat ion should
result in com pliance wit h the safet y lim it .
Do w irele ss phone a ccessories t ha t claim t o shie ld t he he a d from
RF ra dia t 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 t hat accessories t hat claim
to shield t he head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e products t hat
claim to shield t he user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve not hing m ore than a m et allic accessory at t ached 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 interfere
wit h proper operat ion of the phone. The phone m ay be forced to boost it s
power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, t he Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged two
com panies that sold devices t hat claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users
from radiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iat ed claim s. According t o
FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis t o subst antiat e t heir
claim .
W ha t a bout w ire less phone int e rfe r ence w it h m edical equipm e nt ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can int eract wit h som e
elect ronic devices. For t his reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed test
m ethod to m easure elect rom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless t elephones. This t est
m ethod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Associat ion 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 late 2000. This st andard will allow m anufacturers t o
ensure t hat 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 t he I nst it ut e of Electrical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE). This standard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so that 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 standard was approved by the I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues t o m onit or the use of wireless phones for possible
int eract ions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct test ing to assess t he int erference and
work t o resolve t he problem .

Road Safet y
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful abilit y to com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibility
accom panies the benefits 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 t he wheel of a car, practice 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 t o 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 safet y to your wireless phone
wit h one of t he m any hands free accessories available today.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone wit hin 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 t he person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy traffic or hazardous weat her
condit ions. Rain, sleet , snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not take 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 t akes
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 t raffic. Try to 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 otional conversations that m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he potent ial 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 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 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 ot hers to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance 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 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 assist ance or ot her special non-
em ergency num ber.
