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 ting necessary t o hear your conversation or m usic.
Install mobile phones and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipments 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 distance 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 equipments
Your phone can interfere with medical equipments 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 problem 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 Radio Fre quency ( RF) Signals
Cert ificat ion I nfor m at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transm it ter and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufact ured 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 it s are derived from the
recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizat ions, t he Nat ional Council on
Radiat ion Protect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ute of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, the
recom m endat ions were developed by scientific and engineering expert s
drawn from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia after extensive reviews
of t he scientific literat ure relat ed 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 t he Specific Absorption Rat e ( SAR). The
SAR is a m easure of t he rat e of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in 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 ts per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst antial m argin of
safet y t o give addit ional prot ect ion t o t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ents.
SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing positions accept ed by
the FCC wit h t he phone t ransm itt ing at it s highest certified power level in
all test ed frequency bands. Alt hough the SAR is det erm ined at the highest
cert ified power level, the 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 t o reach t he network. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base st ation antenna, the lower the power out put.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale to t he public, it m ust be
test ed and certified t o t he FCC t hat it does not exceed t he exposure lim it
est ablished by t he FCC. Test s 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, this 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 wit h an accessory that cont ains
no m et al and t hat positions t he handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from t he
body.
Non- com pliance wit h t he above rest rict ions m ay result in violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform at ion on t his and other m odel phones can be viewed on- line at

Consu m er I nfor m at ion on W ir e le ss Phone s
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist rat ion (FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relating t o radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes t he
following inform at ion:
W hat k inds of phones a re t he subj ect of t his updat e?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones wit h
built- in antennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose the user to m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of t he short dist ance bet ween t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safet y guidelines t hat were developed wit h
the advice of FDA and other federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is locat ed at great er dist ances from t he user, the exposure t o RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing distance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed t o the t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin the FCC's com pliance lim it s.
Do w ir e less phones pose a healt h ha za r d?
The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any healt h problem s
are associated wit h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels
of radio frequency energy ( RF) in t he m icrowave range while being used.
They also em it very low levels of RF when in t he st and- by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce healt h effect s (by heat ing t issue) , exposure
to low level RF t hat does not produce heat ing effect s causes no known
adverse healt h effect s. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e st udies have suggest ed t hat som e
biological effect s m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed
by addit ional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had
difficult y in reproducing t hose st udies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent result s.
W hat is FD A's role conce r n ing t he safet y of w ire less phones?
Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safet y of radiat ion- em it ting
consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or m edical devices. However, the agency has
aut horit y t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown to em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous to t he user. I n such a
case, FDA could require t he m anufacturers of wireless phones t o not ify
users of t he health hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that t he hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific dat a do not j ustify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry t o t ake a num ber of steps,
including the following:
“ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
the type em it t 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 the 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 t he federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y to ensure coordinat ed
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working
group:
“ National I nst itut e for Occupat ional Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ental Prot ect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupat ional Safet y and Health Adm inist rat ion
“ National Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nstit ut es of Health part icipat es in som e interagency working
group act ivities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones wit h t he Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
St at es m ust com ply with FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other healt h agencies for safet y questions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates t he base st at ions that the wireless phone networks
rely upon. While these base st at ions operat e at higher power t han do t he
wireless phones t hem selves, t he RF exposures t hat people get from these
base st ations are t ypically t housands of t im es lower than those t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are thus not t he prim ary subj ect
of t he safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent.
W hat a re t he result s of t he r e sea r ch done alre a 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 ents investigat ing the effect s of radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
results t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerat e
the developm ent of cancer in laborat ory anim als. However, m any of t he
studies that showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or t reat ed with cancer-causing chem icals so
as t o 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 to 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h certaint y what the result s of such
studies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology studies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Bet ween t hem , the st udies invest igated 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 t he brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he st udies dem onst rat ed t he
exist ence 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- term exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around three years.
W hat r e sea r ch is needed t o decide w he t her RF ex posure from
w ireless phones pose s a healt h r isk ?
A com binat ion of laborat ory st udies and epidem iological st udies of people
actually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he dat a that are
needed. Lifet im 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 to
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exists.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is directly applicable t o
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 t he interval between t he t im e of exposure to a cancer- causing
agent and t he t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The interpret 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 the angle
at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W hat is FD A doing t o find out m or e a bout t he possible hea lt h
effect s of w ire le ss phone RF?
FDA is working wit h t he U.S. National Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of invest igators around t he world t o ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im portant quest ions about t he
effect s of exposure t o radio frequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in t he World Healt h Organization
int ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s inception in
1996. An influent ial result of this work has been t he developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs that has driven the 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 ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nternet Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat ive Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scient ific
oversight , obtaining 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 invest igat ors. 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 t he world.
W hat st eps ca n I t ak e t o re duce m y ex posure t o r adio freque ncy
energy from m y w ir e le ss ph one?
I f t here is a risk from t hese product s - and at t his point we do not know
that t here is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potent ial risks, you can take 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 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 wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connect ed t o a rem ot e antenna.
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e that 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 t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W hat a bout childre n using w irele ss ph ones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o t ake st eps t o
lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described
above would apply t o children and t eenagers 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 the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by other nat ional governm ents have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflet s containing such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed t hat no evidence exists
that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or ot her ill effect s. Their
recom m endat ion to lim it wireless phone use by children was st rictly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scientific evidence t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do hands- free k it s for w ire le ss phone s reduce risk s from ex posure
t o RF e m issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason t o believe that 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 absorption of RF energy in t he
head because t he phone, which is the source of t he RF em issions, will not
be placed against the head. On the ot her hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against the waist or ot her part of the body during use, then that part of
the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in t he
U.S. are required t o m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whet her t hey
are used against the head or against t he body. Eit her configuration should
result in com pliance wit h t he safet y lim it.
Do w ir e le ss phone a cce ssor ie s t hat claim t o shield t he he a d from
RF ra dia t ion w or k?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason t o believe that accessories that claim
to shield t he head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s that
claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at tached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat these product s generally do not work as
advertised. Unlike “ hand- free” kits, these so- called “ shields” m ay interfere
with proper operat ion of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost it s
power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, 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 with m aking false and unsubst antiat ed claim s. According to
FTC, t hese defendant s lacked a reasonable basis to subst antiat e t heir
claim .
W hat a bout w ireless phone int erference w it h m edica l equipm ent ?
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 t est
m ethod t o m easure elect rom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im planted
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 Association for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum entat ion (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 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
volunt ary standard sponsored by t he I nst it ute 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 that no interference
occurs when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com patible hearing
aid at the sam e tim e. This st andard was approved by the I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues to m onit or the use of wireless phones for possible
int eractions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful interference be
found to occur, FDA will conduct test ing t o assess t he interference and
work to resolve t he problem .

Road Sa fet y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y t o com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibilit y
accom panies t he 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, pract ice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he following t ips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and it s feat ures, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese feat ures help you t o place your
call wit hout taking your att ention 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 t o your wireless phone
with one of t he m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone wit hout rem oving your eyes from the road. I f
you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient tim e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weat her
condit ions. Rain, sleet , snow, ice and even heavy t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not t ake notes or look up phone num bers while driving. Jot ting
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book takes
att ent 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 into t raffic. Try t o plan calls
when your car will be st at ionary. I f you need t o m ake a call while
m oving, dial only a few num bers, check the road and your m irrors,
then cont inue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em ot ional conversat ions t hat m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are t alking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he pot ent ial to divert your
att ent 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, t raffic accident or m edical
em ergencies. Rem em ber, it is a free call on your wireless phone!

with Bluetooth. If the devices are within range of one another,
you can exchange information between them even if they are
located in dierent rooms.
Samsung is not responsible for the loss, interception,
●
or misuse of data sent or received via the Bluetooth
wireless feature.
Always ensure that you share and receive data with
●
devices that are trusted and properly secured. If there
are obstacles between the devices, the operating
distance may be reduced.
Some devices, especially those that are not tested
●
or approved by Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible
with your device.
