Radio frequency exposure information
In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commisision (FCC) of the U.S. adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. The design of this phone complies with the
FCC guidelines and those standards.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposur e guidelines, use
only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a
1.0 cm. separation distance between the user's body and the
back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or
retracted. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use
of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
Use sensibly
Use only in the normal position (to ear). Avoid unnessary
contact with the antenna when the phone is switched
on.
Accessories and batteries
Use only SAMSUNG-approved accessories and
batteries.
Use qualified service
Only qualified service personnel may install or repair
your phone.

SAMSUNG dealer for further details.
The phone can be used while the battery is charging.
N o t e: You must fully charge the battery before using
your phone for the first time.
1. Connect the lead from the travel adapter to the
bottom of the phone. Check that the arrow on
the lead connector is facing towards the front of the
phone.
2. Connect the adapter to a standard AC wall outlet.
The LEDs on the front of the charger indicate the following:
Red indicates that the battery is charg i n g .
G r een indicates that the battery is fully charg e d .
Yellow indicates that the battery is operating at a
t e m p e r a t u re that is too high or too low, or that something
is not plugged in corre c t l y. Check the charger and battery
for proper connections.

Low Battery Indicator
You can easily tell if your battery needs to be recharged
by checking the battery strength indicator in the
upper-right corner of your phone’s display. The presence
of all three bars indicates a full charge, two bars
indicates a smaller charge, and one bar indicates an
even smaller charge. No bars (the battery icon is empty)
means your battery must be charged.
When the battery charge level gets low, the battery
sensor blinks an empty battery icon ( ), sounds a
tone. If the battery level gets too low, the phone will
turn off automatically. Unfortunately, if this happens
you’ll lose whatever you are doing, including dropping
your call. Watch the battery strength icon and make sure
your battery is adequately charged.

Health and Safety Information
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specified 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 operation 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 phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements
may differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe exposure.
For additional information concerning exposure to
radio frequency signals, see the following websites:

•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 life-time of the
b a t t e ry. Always try to keep the battery at ro o m
t e m p e r a t u re. A phone with a hot or cold battery
may temporarily not work, even when the battery
is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are part i c u l a r l y
a ffected 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 back of 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-circuit.
•Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire.
Health and Safety Information Health and Safety Information
Precautions When Using Batteries
Your phone is powered by a re c h a rgeable Li-ion
s t a n d a rd battery.
•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
re c h a rge your battery only with Samsung-appro v e d
c h a r gers. 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 overc h a rging may shorten its life.

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 wireless
number.
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, on 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, if possible, let your voice

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 upon any wireless phone for essential
communications (for example, medical emergencies).
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 the <SEND> key.
If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls,
etc.), you may first need to turn those features off
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.

notices so require.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instrutions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone 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.

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 which may apply to
the unit.
• 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 in
vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.
• Switch off your phone before boarding an

Airtime -Actual time spent talking on the wireless
phone. Most carriers bill customers based on
how many minutes of airtime they use each
month.
Antenna -A device for transmitting or receiving
signals. The size and shape of antennas is
determined, in part, by the frequency of the
signal they receive. Wireless phones and the
base station must have antennas.
Base Station - The fixed radio transmitter/receiver that
maintains communications with mobile
radio telephones within a given area.
(Typically called a cell or cell site)
CDMA -(Code Division Multiple Access) A spread-
spectrum approach to digital transmission.
With CDMA, each conversion is digitized and
then tagged with a code. The mobile phone
deciphers only a particular code to pick the
right conversation off the air. The transmitted
signal is just above noise level across the
available bandwidth.
Channel - Communications signals transmit along paths
called channels.
Codec - Compression & Decompression.
Deactivation -The process of rendering a wireless
phone inactive.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on the safety standards previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
IEEE. C95.1-1992
•National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
•Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6.
The standards include a substantial safety margind
designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.
*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
