Health and safety information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)

Signals

Certification Information (SAR)

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

Health and safety information

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.

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.

When approval test is done, no Samsung

supplied accessories are avialable but maybe

available later after approval.

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 Head: 0.650W/Kg,

Bodyworn: 1.11W/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.

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, A3LSCHS129. 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

Health and safety information

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 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

Health and safety information

Settings

(Menu

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

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

Health and safety information

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

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

Health and safety information

Settings

(Menu

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.

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

Health and safety information

high priority animal studies are conducted to

address important questions about the effects

of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).

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.

Health and safety information

Settings

(Menu

• “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

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?

Health and safety information

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

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

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

Health and safety information

Settings

(Menu

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.

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

Health and safety information

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.

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

pocket.

• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker

to minimize potential interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place, switch your phone

off immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with

some hearing aids. In the event of such

interference, you may wish to consult your

hearing aid manufacturer to discuss

alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices,

consult the manufacturer of your device to

determine if it is adequately shielded from

external RF energy. Your physician may be able

to assist you in obtaining this information.

Switch your phone off in health care facilities

when any regulations posted in these areas

instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment that could be

sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic systems in

Health and safety information

motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or

its representative regarding your vehicle. You

should also consult the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility where

posted notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Environments

Switch your phone off when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all

signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas

could cause an explosion or fire resulting in

bodily injury or even death.

Users are advised to switch the phone off while

at a refueling point (service station). Users are

reminded of the need to observe restrictions on

the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel

storage and distribution areas), chemical plants

or where blasting operations are in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere

are often but not always clearly marked. They

include below deck on boats, chemical transfer

or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied

petroleum gas (such as propane or butane),

areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders,

and any other area where you would normally

be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

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

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.

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.

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.

Health and safety information

(Menu

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.

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

Health and safety information

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.

• 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.

Health and safety information

Settings

(Menu

• 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.

• Keep the phone and all its parts and

accessories out of the reach of small

children.

Health and safety information

• 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.

• 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.
