card with a soft cloth.

Important usage information

safety and usage information

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.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

certification information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to

exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF)

energy set by the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These

FCC exposure limits are derived from the

recommendations of two expert organizations, the

National Counsel on Radiation Protection and

Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the

recommendations were developed by scientific and

engineering experts drawn from industry,

government, and academia after extensive reviews

of the scientific literature related to the biological

effects of RF energy.

The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless

mobile phones employs a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The

SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF

energy by the human body expressed in units of

watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires

wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6

watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure

limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to

give additional protection to the public and to

account for any variations in measurements.

safety and usage information

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating

positions accepted by the FCC with the phone

transmitting at its highest certified power level in all

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is

determined at the highest certified power level, the

actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be

well below the maximum value. This is because the

phone is designed to operate at multiple power

levels so as to use only the power required to reach

the network. In general, the closer you are to a

wireless base station antenna, the lower the power

output.

Before a new model phone is available for sale to the

public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC

that it does not exceed the exposure limit

established by the FCC. Tests for each model phone

are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the

ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.

The highest SAR values for this model phone as

reported to the FCC are:

GSM 850 Mode

•Head:

0.113 W/Kg.

•Body-worn: 0.275 W/Kg.

GSM 1900 Mode(Part 24)

•Head:

0.470 W/Kg.

•Body-worn: 0.539 W/Kg.

For body worn operation, this model phone

has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure

guidelines whenused with a Samsung accessory

designated for this product or when used with an

accessory that contains no metal and that positions

the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.

Non-compliance with the above restrictions may

result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.

safety and usage information

SAR information on this and other model phones

can be viewed on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.

This site uses the phone FCC ID number,

A3LGTS8000C. Sometimes it may be necessary to

remove the battery pack to find the number. Once

you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone,

follow the instructions on the website and it should

provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a

particular phone. Additional product specific SAR

information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/

cgb/sar.

Consumer Information on Wireless

Phones

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

has published a series of Questions and Answers

for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF)

exposure from wireless phones. The FDA

publication includes the following information:

What kinds of phones are the subject of

this update?

The term wireless phone refers here to hand-

held wireless phones with built-in antennas,

often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones.

These types of wireless phones can expose the

user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF)

because of the short distance between the

phone and the user's head. These RF exposures

are limited by Federal Communications

Commission safety guidelines that were

developed with the advice of FDA and other

federal health and safety agencies. When the

phone is located at greater distances from the

user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower

because a person's RF exposure decreases

rapidly with increasing distance from the source.

The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a

safety and usage information

base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a

house, typically operate at far lower power

levels, and thus produce RF exposures well

within the FCC's compliance limits.

Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show

that any health problems are associated with

using wireless phones. There is no proof,

however, that wireless phones are absolutely

safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio

frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range

while being used. They also emit very low levels

of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high

levels of RF can produce health effects (by

heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that

does not produce heating effects causes no

known adverse health effects. Many studies of

low level RF exposures have not found any

biological effects. Some studies have suggested

that some biological effects may occur, but such

findings have not been confirmed by additional

research. In some cases, other researchers have

had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in

determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of

wireless phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of

radiation-emitting consumer products such as

wireless phones before they can be sold, as it

does with new drugs or medical devices.

However, the agency has authority to take action

if wireless phones are shown to emit radio

frequency energy (RF) at a level that is

hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could

require the manufacturers of wireless phones to

notify users of the health hazard and to repair,

replace or recall the phones so that the hazard

no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not

justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged

safety and usage information

the wireless phone industry to take a number of

steps, including the following:

• “Support needed research into possible

biological effects of RF of the type emitted by

wireless phones;

• “Design wireless phones in a way that

minimizes any RF exposure to the user that

is not necessary for device function; and

• “Cooperate in providing users of wireless

phones with the best possible information on

possible effects of wireless phone use on

human health.

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of

the federal agencies that have responsibility for

different aspects of RF safety to ensure

coordinated efforts at the federal level. The

following agencies belong to this working group:

• “National Institute for Occupational Safety

and Health

• “Environmental Protection Agency

• “Federal Communications Commission

• “Occupational Safety and Health

Administration

• “National Telecommunications and

Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in

some interagency working group activities, as

well.

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for

wireless phones with the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). All phones

that are sold in the United States must comply

with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF

exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health

agencies for safety questions about wireless

phones.

FCC also regulates the base stations that the

wireless phone networks rely upon. While these

base stations operate at higher power than do

the wireless phones themselves, the RF

safety and usage information

exposures that people get from these base

stations are typically thousands of times lower

than those they can get from wireless phones.

Base stations are thus not the primary subject of

the safety questions discussed in this document.

What are the results of the research done

already?

The research done thus far has produced

conflicting results, and many studies have

suffered from flaws in their research methods.

Animal experiments investigating the effects of

radio frequency energy (RF) exposures

characteristic of wireless phones have yielded

conflicting results that often cannot be repeated

in other laboratories. A few animal studies,

however, have suggested that low levels of RF

could accelerate the development of cancer in

laboratory animals. However, many of the

studies that showed increased tumor

development used animals that had been

genetically engineered or treated with cancer-

causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to

develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other

studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22

hours per day. These conditions are not similar

to the conditions under which people use

wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty

what the results of such studies mean for human

health.

Three large epidemiology studies have been

published since December 2000. Between them,

the studies investigated any possible association

between the use of wireless phones and primary

brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic

neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland,

leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies

demonstrated the existence of any harmful

health effects from wireless phones RF

exposures. However, none of the studies can

answer questions about long-term exposures,

since the average period of phone use in these

studies was around three years.

safety and usage information

What research is needed to decide whether

RF exposure from wireless phones poses a

health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and

epidemiological studies of people actually using

wireless phones would provide some of the data

that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure

studies could be completed in a few years.

However, very large numbers of animals would

be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer

promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological

studies can provide data that is directly

applicable to human populations, but ten or

more years' follow-up may be needed to provide

answers about some health effects, such as

cancer. This is because the interval between the

time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and

the time tumors develop - if they do - may be

many, many years. The interpretation of

epidemiological studies is hampered by

difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure

during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many

factors affect this measurement, such as the

angle at which the phone is held, or which model

of phone is used.

What is FDA doing to find out more about

the possible health effects of wireless

phone RF?

FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology

Program and with groups of investigators around

the world to ensure that high priority animal

studies are conducted to address important

questions about the effects of exposure to radio

frequency energy (RF).

safety and usage information

FDA has been a leading participant in the World

Health Organization international

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its

inception in 1996. An influential result of this

work has been the development of a detailed

agenda of research needs that has driven the

establishment of new research programs around

the world. The Project has also helped develop a

series of public information documents on EMF

issues.

FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet

Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative

Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)

to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA

provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input

from experts in government, industry, and

academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is

conducted through contracts to independent

investigators. The initial research will include

both laboratory studies and studies of wireless

phone users. The CRADA will also include a

broad assessment of additional research needs

in the context of the latest research

developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my

exposure to radio frequency energy from

my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products - and at

this point we do not know that there is - it is

probably very small. But if you are concerned

about avoiding even potential risks, you can take

a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to

radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key

factor in how much exposure a person receives,

reducing the amount of time spent using a

wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.

• “If you must conduct extended

conversations by wireless phone every day,

you could place more distance between your

body and the source of the RF, since the

exposure level drops off dramatically with

distance. For example, you could use a

safety and usage information

headset and carry the wireless phone away

from your body or use a wireless phone

connected to a remote antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate

that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are

concerned about the RF exposure from these

products, you can use measures like those

described above to reduce your RF exposure

from wireless phone use.

What about children using wireless

phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger

to users of wireless phones, including children

and teenagers. If you want to take steps to

lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF),

the measures described above would apply to

children and teenagers using wireless phones.

Reducing the time of wireless phone use and

increasing the distance between the user and

the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national

governments have advised that children be

discouraged from using wireless phones at all.

For example, the government in the United

Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a

recommendation in December 2000. They noted

that no evidence exists that using a wireless

phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.

Their recommendation to limit wireless phone

use by children was strictly precautionary; it was

not based on scientific evidence that any health

hazard exists.

Do hands-free kits for wireless phones

reduce risks from exposure to RF

emissions?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to

RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no

reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce

risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless

phones for convenience and comfort. These

systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in

safety and usage information

the head because the phone, which is the source

of the RF emissions, will not be placed against

the head. On the other hand, if the phone is

mounted against the waist or other part of the

body during use, then that part of the body will

absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones

marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety

requirements regardless of whether they are

used against the head or against the body.

Either configuration should result in compliance

with the safety limit.

Do wireless phone accessories that claim to

shield the head from RF radiation work?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to

RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no

reason to believe that accessories that claim to

shield the head from those emissions reduce

risks. Some products that claim to shield the

user from RF absorption use special phone

cases, while others involve nothing more than a

metallic accessory attached to the phone.

Studies have shown that these products

generally do not work as advertised. Unlike

“hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may

interfere with proper operation of the phone.

The phone may be forced to boost its power to

compensate, leading to an increase in RF

absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade

Commission (FTC) charged two companies that

sold devices that claimed to protect wireless

phone users from radiation with making false

and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC,

these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to

substantiate their claim.

What about wireless phone interference

with medical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless

phones can interact with some electronic

devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a

detailed test method to measure

electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted

cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from

safety and usage information

wireless telephones. This test method is now

part of a standard sponsored by the Association

for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation

(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA,

medical device manufacturers, and many other

groups, was completed in late 2000. This

standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that

cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe

from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested

wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary

standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard

specifies test methods and performance

requirements for hearing aids and wireless

phones so that no interference occurs when a

person uses a compatible phone and a

compatible hearing aid at the same time. This

standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless

phones for possible interactions with other

medical devices. Should harmful interference be

found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to

assess the interference and work to resolve the

problem.

Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful

ability to communicate by voice, almost

anywhere, anytime. But an important

responsibility accompanies the benefits of

wireless phones, one that every user must

uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first

responsibility. When using your wireless phone

behind the wheel of a car, practice good common

sense and remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its

features, such as speed dial and redial. If

available, these features help you to place

your call without taking your attention off

the road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. If

possible, add an additional layer of

convenience and safety to your wireless

phone with one of the many hands free

accessories available today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy

reach. Be able to access your wireless phone

without removing your eyes from the road. If

you get an incoming call at an inconvenient

time, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with know

you are driving; if necessary, suspend the

call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather

conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even

heavy traffic can be hazardous.

safety and usage information

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers

while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or

flipping through your address book takes

attention away from your primary

responsibility, driving safely.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if

possible, place calls when you are not

moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to

plan calls when your car will be stationary. If

you need to make a call while moving, dial

only a few numbers, check the road and your

mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting. Make

people you are talking with aware you are

driving and suspend conversations that have

the potential to divert your attention from

the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial

9-1-1 or other local emergency number in

the case of fire, traffic accident or medical

emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on

your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. If you see an auto accident,

crime in progress or other serious

emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-

1-1 or other local emergency number, as you

would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-

emergency wireless assistance number when

necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle

posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic

signal, a minor traffic accident where no one

appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be

stolen, call roadside assistance or other

special non-emergency number.

safety and usage information

Operating Environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in

force in any area and always switch your phone

off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it

may cause interference or danger. When

connecting the phone or any accessory to

another device, read its user's guide for detailed

safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible

products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting

equipment, users are advised that for the

satisfactory operation of the equipment and for

the safety of personnel, it is recommended that

the equipment should only be used in the normal

operating position (held to your ear with the

antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Using Your Phone Near Other

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded

from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,

certain electronic equipment may not be

shielded against the RF signals from your

wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to

discuss alternatives.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a

minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be

maintained between a wireless phone and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with

the pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with the

independent research and recommendations of

Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• should always keep the phone more than 15

(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the

phone is switched on.

• should not carry the phone in a breast

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates

using radio signals, wireless and landline

networks as well as user programmed functions,

which cannot guarantee connection in all

conditions. Therefore, you should never rely

solely on any wireless phone for essential

communications (medical emergencies, for

example).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the

phone must be switched on and in a service area

with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls

may not be possible on all wireless phone

networks or when certain network services and/

or phone features are in use. Check with local

service providers.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2. Key in the emergency number for your

present location (for example, 911 or other

official emergency number). Emergency

numbers vary by location.

3. Press .

If certain features are in use (call barring, for

example), you may first need to deactivate

those features before you can make an

emergency call. Consult this document and your

local cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to

give all the necessary information as accurately

safety and usage information

as possible. Remember that your phone may be

the only means of communication at the scene

of an accident; do not cut off the call until given

permission to do so.

Restricting Children's access to your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be

allowed to play with it because they could hurt

themselves and others, damage the phone or

make calls that increase your phone bill.

safety and usage information

Other Important Safety

Information

• Only qualified personnel should service the

phone or install the phone in a vehicle.

Faulty installation or service may be

dangerous and may invalidate any warranty

applicable to the device.

• Check regularly that all wireless phone

equipment in your vehicle is mounted and

operating properly.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids,

gases or explosive materials in the same

compartment as the phone, its parts or

accessories.

• For vehicles equipped with an air bag,

remember that an air bag inflates with great

force. Do not place objects, including both

installed or portable wireless equipment in

the area over the air bag or in the air bag

deployment area. If wireless equipment is

improperly installed and the air bag inflates,

serious injury could result.

• Switch your phone off before boarding an

is illegal and may be dangerous to the

aircraft's operation.

• Failure to observe these instructions may

lead to the suspension or denial of telephone

services to the offender, or legal action, or

both.

Product Performance

Getting the Most Out of Your Signal

Reception

The quality of each call you make or receive

depends on the signal strength in your area.

Your phone informs you of the current signal

strength by displaying a number of bars next to

the signal strength icon. The more bars

displayed, the stronger the signal.

If you're inside a building, being near a window

may give you better reception.

safety and usage information

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15

minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is

automatically activated. If your phone is active,

it periodically rechecks service availability or you

can check it yourself by pressing any key.

Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a

message displays on the screen. When a signal

is found, your phone returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and

receiver. When it's turned on, it receives and

transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When

you use your phone, the system handling your

call controls the power level. This power can

range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital

mode.

Maintaining Your Phone's Peak

Performance

For the best care of your phone, only authorized

personnel should service your phone and

accessories. Faulty service may void the

warranty.

There are several simple guidelines to operating

your phone properly and maintaining safe,

satisfactory service.

• Hold the phone with the antenna raised,

fully-extended and over your shoulder.

• Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's

antenna.

• Don't use the phone if the antenna is

damaged.

• Speak directly into the phone's receiver.

• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories

to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get

wet, immediately turn the power off and

remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call

Customer Care for service.

safety and usage information

Availability of Various Features/

Ring Tones

Many services and features are network

dependent and may require additional

subscription and/or usage charges. Not all

features are available for purchase or use in all

areas. Downloadable Ring Tones may be

available at an additional cost. Other conditions

and restrictions may apply. See your service

provider for additional information.

Battery Standby and Talk Time

Standby and talk times will vary depending on

phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery

power consumption depends on factors such as

network configuration, signal strength, operating

temperature, features selected, frequency of

calls, and voice, data, and other application

usage patterns.

Battery Precautions

• Never use any charger or battery that is

damaged in any way.

• Use the battery only for its intended

purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network's

base station, it uses less power; talk and

standby time are greatly affected by the

signal strength on the cellular network and

the parameters set by the network operator.

• Battery charging time depends on the

remaining battery charge and the type of

battery and charger used. The battery can

be charged and discharged hundreds of

times, but it will gradually wear out. When

the operation time (talk time and standby

time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is

time to buy a new battery.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will

discharge itself over time.

safety and usage information

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and

recharge your battery only with Samsung-

approved chargers. When a charger is not in

use, disconnect it from the power source. Do

not leave the battery connected to a charger

for more than a week, since overcharging

may shorten its life.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the

charging capacity of your battery: it may

require cooling or warming first.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold

places, such as in a car in summer or winter

conditions, as you will reduce the capacity

and lifetime of the battery. Always try to

keep the battery at room temperature. A

phone with a hot or cold battery may

temporarily not work, even when the battery

is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are

particularly affected by temperatures below

0 °C (32 °F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental

short- circuiting can occur when a metallic

object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct

connection between the + and - terminals of

the battery (metal strips on the battery), for

example when you carry a spare battery in a

pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals

may damage the battery or the object

causing the short-circuiting.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with

local regulations. In some areas, the

disposal of batteries in household or

business trash may be prohibited. For safe

disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact

your nearest Samsung authorized service

center. Always recycle. Do not dispose of

batteries in a fire.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and

craftsmanship and should be treated with care.

The suggestions below will help you fulfill any

warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this

product for many years.

safety and usage information

• Keep the phone and all its parts and

accessories out of the reach of small

children.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity

and liquids contain minerals that will corrode

electronic circuits.

• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing

so may cause an electric shock to you or

damage to the phone.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty

areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High

temperatures can shorten the life of

electronic devices, damage batteries, and

warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When

the phone warms up to its normal operating

temperature, moisture can form inside the

phone, which may damage the phone's

electronic circuit boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone.

Rough handling can break internal circuit

boards.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning

solvents or strong detergents to clean the

phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly

dampened in a mild soap-and-water

solution.

• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the

device's moving parts and prevent proper

operation.

• Do not put the phone in or on heating

devices, such as a microwave oven, a stove

or a radiator. The phone may explode when

overheated.

• When the phone or battery gets wet, the

label indicating water damage inside the

phone changes color. In this case, phone

repairs are no longer guaranteed by the

manufacturer's warranty, even if the

warranty for your phone has not expired.

safety and usage information

• If your phone has a flash or light, do not use

it too close to the eyes of people or animals.

This may cause damage to their eyes.

• Use only the supplied or an approved

replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas or modified accessories may

damage the phone and violate regulations

governing radio devices.

• If the phone, battery, charger or any

accessory is not working properly, take it to

your nearest qualified service facility. The

personnel there will assist you, and if

necessary, arrange for service.
