Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure t o sound at high volum es can cause hearing dam age.
Always turn 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 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.

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 posure t o Ra dio Fr eque ncy ( RF) Sign a ls
Cert ifica t ion I nform at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm it t er and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufact ured not t o exceed the exposure lim its 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 endations of t wo expert organizations, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiation Prot ect ion and Measurem ent (NCRP) and the I nst it ute of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endations were developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from indust ry, governm ent , and academ ia aft er extensive reviews
of t he scient ific lit erat ure relat ed 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 t he Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR). The
SAR is a m easure of the rat e of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in unit s of watt s per kilogram (W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones t o 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 incorporat es a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y t o give addit ional protection t o t he public and t o account for any
variations in m easurem ent s.
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 t ing at it s highest certified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Alt hough t he SAR is det erm ined at the highest
certified power level, t he act ual SAR level of t he phone while operating
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because t he phone is
designed t o operat e at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required to reach t he net work. I n general, the closer you are to a wireless
base st ation antenna, the 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
tested and certified t o t he FCC t hat it does not exceed the exposure lim it
est ablished by t he FCC. Tests for each m odel phone are perform ed in
posit ions and locat ions ( e.g. at the 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 eet s
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used wit h a Sam sung accessory
designat ed for t his product or when used with an accessory that contains
no m et al and t hat posit ions the handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from t he
body.
Non- com pliance with t he above restrict ions m ay result in violat ion of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.

case, FDA could require t he m anufact urers of wireless phones t o not ify
users of t he healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall the phones so
that t he hazard no longer exist s.
Although t he existing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry to take a num ber of st eps,
including t he following:
“ Support needed research into possible biological effect s of RF of
the t ype em itt ed by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way that m inim izes any RF exposure
to the user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and
“ 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 healt h.
FDA belongs t o an interagency working group of the federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspects of RF safet y t o ensure coordinat ed
effort s at the federal level. The following agencies belong to t his working
group:
“ Nat ional I nst itute for Occupat ional Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ent al Protection Agency
“ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
“ Occupat ional Safety and Healt h Adm inist rat ion
“ Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nst it utes of Healt h part icipates in som e interagency working
group act ivit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless phones wit h t he Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC). All phones t hat are sold in t he Unit ed
St ates m ust com ply with FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies for safet y questions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es t he base st at ions t hat the wireless phone networks
rely upon. While t hese base st ations 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 ations are t ypically t housands of t im 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 h a t a re t he r e sult s of t he re sea r ch done a lr e a dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflicting result s, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s investigat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures characterist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
result s t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in other laborat ories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerate
the developm ent of cancer in laborat ory anim als. However, m any of the
studies t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als that had
been genetically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer-causing chem icals so
as to be pre- disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
studies exposed the anim als to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he condit ions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h certainty what t he result s of such
studies m ean for hum an health.
Three large epidem iology studies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Bet ween t hem , t he studies invest igat ed 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 the brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or other cancers. None of t he st udies dem onst rat ed the
exist ence of any harm ful healt h effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer questions about
long- t erm exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around t hree years.
W h a t r e se a rch is needed t o decide w hether RF ex posure fr om
w ire le ss phones pose s a hea lt h risk ?
A com binat ion 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 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 that is direct ly applicable t o
hum an populat ions, but t en or m ore years' follow- up m ay be needed to
provide answers about som e healt h effect s, such as cancer. This is
because t he interval between t he t im e of exposure t o a cancer-causing
agent and the t im e t um ors develop - if t hey 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 factors affect t his m easurem ent , such as t he angle
at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W h a t is FDA doing t o find out m or e a bout t he possible healt h
effect s of w ireless phone RF?
FDA is working wit h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of investigat ors around t he world to ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im port ant questions about the
effects of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading part icipant in the World Healt h Organization
int ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influent ial 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 the world. The Proj ect has also helped
develop a series of public inform at ion docum ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nt ernet 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 organizations. CTI A- funded research is conduct ed t hrough
cont ract s to independent investigat ors. The initial research will include
both 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 the
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world.
W h a t st eps can I t ak e t o reduce m y ex posure t o radio freque n cy
energy from m y w ir e le ss phone?
I f t here 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 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 t he am ount of t im 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 at ically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body.
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e t hat wireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure from t hese
product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W h a t a bout childre n using w ireless phones?
The scient ific 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 steps t o
lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF), t he m easures described
above would apply t o children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing t he t im e of wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance
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 t hat
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ributed 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 endation t o lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do hands- fr e e k it s for w ir eless phones r educe r isks from ex posure
t o RF em ission s?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands- free kits 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 the source of the RF em issions, will not
be placed against t he head. On t he ot her hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against t he waist or ot her part of t he 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 whet her they
are used against the head or against the body. Eit her configurat ion should
result in com pliance wit h the safety lim it.
Do w ir e less phone a ccessories t ha t cla im t o shield t he head from
RF radia t ion w ork?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o 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 t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at t ached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat t hese product s generally do not work as
advertised. Unlike “hand- free” kit s, these so- called “ shields” m ay interfere
wit h proper operat ion of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced to boost it s
power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorption. I n
February 2002, t he Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged t wo
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 iated claim s. According to
FTC, t hese defendant s lacked a reasonable basis t o substant iat e their
claim .
W h a t a bout w ir e le ss phone int erference w it h m e dical equipm ent?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can interact wit h som e
elect ronic devices. For t his reason, FDA helped develop a detailed t est
m et hod to m easure elect rom agnet ic 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 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 lat e 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 t est ed wireless phones and helped develop a
voluntary st andard sponsored by the I nst itute of Elect rical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est 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 pat ible hearing
aid at the sam e t im 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 ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct t est ing t o assess the int erference and
work to resolve the problem .

Roa d Safety
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y to com m unicate 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 t he 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 its features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, these features help you t o place your
call wit hout t aking your at t ent ion off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safet y t o your wireless phone
wit h one of the m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Position your wireless phone wit hin 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 t he call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weather
condit ions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic 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 t hrough your address book t akes
att ention 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 t o plan calls
when your car will be st at ionary. I f you need to m ake a call while
m oving, dial only a few num bers, check t he road and your m irrors,
then continue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em ot ional conversat ions t hat m ay be
distracting. Make people you are t alking wit h aware you are driving
and suspend conversations t hat have the pot ent ial t o divert your
att ention from the 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 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 ot hers 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 t raffic signal, a m inor
traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you
know t o be st olen, call roadside assistance or ot her special non-
em ergency num ber.

Pa cem a k ers
Pacem aker m anufact urers recom m end t hat a m inim um dist ance of 15 cm
( 6 inches) be m aintained between a wireless phone and a pacem aker t o
avoid pot ential interference wit h t he pacem aker.
These recom m endations are consistent with the independent research
and recom m endat ions of Wireless Technology Research.
Pe rsons w it h pacem a k ers:
should always keep t he phone m ore t han 15 cm
( 6 inches) from their pacem aker when the phone is swit ched on.
should not carry t he phone in a breast pocket .
should use t he ear opposit e t he pacem aker t o m inim ize pot ent ial

I f you have any reason t o suspect that int erference is taking place, swit ch
your phone off im m ediately.
Hea ring Aids
Som e digit al wireless phones m ay interfere wit h som e hearing aids. I n t he
event of such int erference, you m ay wish t o consult your hearing aid
m anufact urer t o discuss alt ernat ives.
Ot her M e dical Devices
I f you use any ot her personal m edical devices, consult t he m anufact urer
of your device to determ ine if it is adequat ely shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician m ay be able t o assist you in obt aining t his
inform ation. Swit ch your phone off in healt h care facilit ies when any
