use only the m inim um volum e set ting necessary t o hear your conversat ion or m usic.
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

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 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 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 Ra dio Freque ncy ( RF) Signals
Cert ifica t ion I nfor m at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm it ter and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufact ured not t o exceed t he exposure lim it s for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by t he Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S.
governm ent. These FCC exposure lim it s are derived from t he
recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizations, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiation Prot ection and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nstit ut e of
Elect rical and Electronics Engineers ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, the
recom m endat ions were developed by scient ific and engineering experts
drawn from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia aft er extensive reviews
of t he scient ific lit erat ure related t o the 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 Absorpt ion 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 unit s of wat t s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones to com ply with a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst antial m argin of
safety 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 accepted by
the FCC wit h t he phone t ransm it ting at it s highest certified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Although the SAR is determ ined at t he highest
certified power level, t he act ual SAR level of the phone while operat ing
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because t he phone is
designed to operat e at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only the power
required to reach t he net work. I n general, the closer you are to a wireless
base st at ion ant enna, t he lower t he power out put.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o the public, it m ust be
tested and certified t o t he FCC t hat it does not exceed t he exposure lim it
est ablished by t he FCC. Tests 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 operation, t his m odel phone has been t est ed and m eets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used wit h a Sam sung accessory
designat ed for t his product or when used with an accessory that cont ains
no m et al and that posit ions t he handset a m inim um of 1.5 cm from the
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 ot her m odel phones can be viewed on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses t he phone FCC I D num ber,
A3LSCHU485. Som et im es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove t he batt ery pack
to find the num ber. Once you have the FCC I D num ber for a particular
phone, follow the inst ruct ions on t he websit e and it should provide values

Consum e r I nform at ion on W irele ss Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inistrat ion ( FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relat ing t o radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the
following inform at ion:
W hat k inds of phones are t he subject of t his updat e?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones with
built- in antennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose t he user t o m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of the short dist ance between 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 that were developed wit h
the advice of FDA and ot her federal health and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is located at great er dist ances from t he user, t he exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing dist ance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed t o t he t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operat e 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 zard?
The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any healt h problem s
are associat ed 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 studies 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, ot her 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 FDA's role concerning t he safety of w ireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safet y of radiat ion- em itt ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it
does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut hority t o t ake action if wireless phones are shown to em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level that is hazardous t o t he user. I n such a
case, FDA could require t he m anufact urers of wireless phones t o not ify
users of t he healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that the hazard no longer exist s.
Although the existing scient ific dat a do not just ify FDA regulatory actions,
FDA has urged the wireless phone indust ry t o t ake a num ber of st eps,
including the following:
“ Support needed research into possible biological effect s of RF of
the t ype em it ted by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure
to t he user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and
“ Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with t he best
possible inform ation on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspects of RF safet y t o ensure coordinat ed
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working
group:
“ Nat ional I nst it ut e for Occupat ional Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupat ional Safet y and Health Adm inist ration
“ Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nst it ut es of Healt h participat es in som e int eragency working
group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilit ies for wireless phones wit h t he Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) . All phones that are sold in the Unit ed
St at es m ust com ply wit h FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies for safet y questions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es t he base st at ions t hat t he wireless phone net works
rely upon. While these base st at ions operate at higher power t han do t he
wireless phones them selves, the RF exposures t hat people get from t hese
base st at ions are typically t housands of tim es lower t han those they can
get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are t hus not the prim ary subj ect
of t he safety questions discussed in t his docum ent .
W hat are t h e resu lt s of t he rese a rch done a lready?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igating the effects of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures characterist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
result s that often cannot be repeated in ot her laboratories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggested t hat low levels of RF could accelerat e
the developm ent of cancer in laboratory anim als. However, m any of the
studies t hat showed increased tum or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genetically engineered or treat ed wit h cancer-causing chem icals so
as to 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 t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he condit ions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h certaint y what t he 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 , t he 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 rated t he
existence of any harm ful healt h effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he studies can answer questions about
long- term exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around t hree years.
W hat rese a rch is needed t o decide w het her RF exposure from
w ir e less phone s poses a healt h risk ?
A com binat ion of laborat ory st udies and epidem iological st udies of people
act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he dat a t hat are
needed. Lifetim e anim al exposure studies could be com pleted in a few
years. However, very large num bers of anim als would be needed t o
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exists.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is direct ly applicable to
hum an populat ions, but t en or m ore years' follow-up m ay be needed to
provide answers about som e healt h effects, such as cancer. This is
because t he interval between t he t im e of exposure t o a cancer-causing
agent and t he t im e tum 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 t his m easurem ent , such as t he angle
at which the phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W hat is FDA doing t o find out m ore about t he possible healt h
effect s of w irele ss phone RF?
FDA is working wit h the U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of invest igat ors around t he world t o ensure that high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im port ant questions about t he
effects of exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Healt h Organizat ion
int ernational Electrom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion 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 t he 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 nt ernet Associat ion (CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat ive Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides t he scientific
oversight, obt aining input from experts in governm ent, indust ry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A-funded research is conduct ed t hrough
cont racts t o independent invest igators. The init ial research will include
both laboratory 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 the lat est research developm ents around t he world.
W hat st e ps ca n I t ake t o redu ce m y exposure t o radio frequency
energy from m y w ir e less phone?
I f t here is a risk from these product s - and at this point we do not know
that there is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even pot ent ial risks, you can t ake a few sim ple st eps t o m inim ize
your exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) . Since t im e is a key fact or
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing the 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 distance bet ween your body and
the source of the RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram at ically wit h dist ance.
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rate t hat 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 t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W hat abou t children using w ireless phone s?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless
phones, including children and teenagers. I f you want to take st eps t o
lower exposure to 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 t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by ot her nat ional governm ents have advised t hat
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in the Unit ed Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflet s cont aining such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed t hat no evidence exist s
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 strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence t hat any health
hazard exists.
Do hands- free k it s for w ir e less phones reduce r isks fr om ex posure
t o RF em issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason t o believe t hat hands- free kit s reduce
risks. Hands- free kits 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 t he ot her hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against t he waist or ot her part of t he 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 configurat ion should
result in com pliance wit h t he safet y lim it .
Do w ir e le ss phone accessor ies t hat cla im t o shie ld t h e head fr om
RF radiat ion w ork ?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason t o believe t hat accessories t hat claim
to shield t he head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
claim t o shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve not hing m ore than a m et allic accessory at tached t o the
phone. Studies have shown that these product s generally do not work as
advertised. Unlike “ hand- free” kit s, t hese so- called “ shields” m ay int erfere
wit h 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 absorption. I n
February 2002, t he Federal trade Com m ission ( FTC) charged t wo
com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users
from radiation wit h m aking false and unsubst antiat ed claim s. According t o
FTC, t hese defendants lacked a reasonable basis t o subst antiat e t heir
claim .
W hat abou t w ireless phone int e r ference w it h m edical e quipm e nt ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can int eract wit h som e
elect ronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed t est
m et hod t o m easure elect rom agnet ic int erference (EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless t elephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Associat ion for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum ent at ion ( AAMI ). The final draft , a joint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any ot her groups,
was com plet ed in late 2000. This st andard will allow m anufacturers t o
ensure that 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 st andard sponsored by t he I nstit ut e of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers ( I EEE). This st andard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance
requirem ents for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no int erference
occurs when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com pat ible hearing
aid at t he sam e t im e. This standard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000.
FDA continues t o m onit or t he use of wireless phones for possible
int eract ions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess t he int erference and
work t o resolve the problem .

Road Sa fe t y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful ability t o com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anytim e. But an im portant responsibilit y
accom panies t he benefit s of wireless phones, one t hat every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind t he wheel of a car, practice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he following t ips:
1. Get t o know your wireless phone and its feat ures, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese features help you t o place your
call wit hout t aking your att ent ion off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety t o your wireless phone
wit h one of the m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from t he 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 not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jott ing
down a “ to do” list or flipping through your address book t akes
att ent ion away from your prim ary responsibilit y, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the t raffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not m oving or before pulling int o t raffic. Try to 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 t he road and your m irrors,
then cont inue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em otional conversat ions that m ay be
distract ing. Make people you are talking wit h aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he pot ential to divert your
att ent ion from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help. Dial 9- 1- 1 or ot her local
em ergency num ber in t he case of fire, t raffic accident or m edical
em ergencies. Rem em ber, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone t o help others in em ergencies. I f you see
an aut o accident , crim e in progress or ot her serious em ergency
where lives are in danger, call 9-1- 1 or ot her local em ergency
num ber, as you would want ot hers t o do for you.
10. Call roadside assist ance or a special non-em ergency wireless
assistance num ber when necessary. I f you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a m inor
traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you
know t o be stolen, call roadside assist ance or ot her special non-
em ergency num ber.
“The w ireless indust ry rem inds you t o use your phone safely w hen

Connectivity
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology
capable of exchanging information over a distance of about 10 m
without requiring a physical connection.
You do not need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth.
If the devices are within range of one another, you can exchange
information between them even if they are located in different 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.
