animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Listening to a headset at high volumes can damage your hearing.
Use only the minimum volume setting necessary to hear your conversation or
music.
Install mobile phones and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle
are securely mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an
air bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause
serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
 Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically
designed for your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause
serious injuries or damage to your phone.
 Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing used batteries or phones.
 Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when
overheated.
 Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high
external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and
overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones and
pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers
and the independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you
have any reason to suspect that your phone is interfering with a pacemaker or
other medical device, turn off the phone immediately and contact the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or
chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning signs or
instructions. Your phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or
chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as
the phone, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone
with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the
number of keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and
take frequent breaks.
Safety precautions

 Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
 Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of
children or animals.
 Your phone and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to
magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic
closures or allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for
extended periods of time.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with
unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers,
hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or
vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any
interference problems you experience.
Important usage information
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in damage to
your phone and will void your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
 Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may
shorten battery life.
 Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged
before use.
 Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
 Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle UIM cards and memory cards with care
 Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing
information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the
card or phone.
 Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise
from other devices.
 Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards.
 Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fingers or
metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or
circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an
alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.
Health and safety information
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 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.
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.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used 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 online at www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid. This site uses the phone FCC ID
number, A3LSCHI899. 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 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 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 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.
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).
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
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 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 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 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.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely
when driving.”

Association
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 cm
(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 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.

Cautions
Changes or modifications made in the radio phone, not expressly
approved by Samsung, will void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any
unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the phone
warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or
sitting on it.
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 aircraft. The use of
wireless phone in aircraft 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.
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.
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 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.
 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 shortcircuiting.
 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.
 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.
 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.
