Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your phone. z Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing used batteries or phones. z Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated. z 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
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.

Turn off the phone near medical equipment Your phone can interfere with medical equipment 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. z Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts. z Your phone is a complex electronic device— protect it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious damage. z Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation. z Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or animals. z 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 z Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten battery life. z Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use. z Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use. z Use batteries only for their intended purpose. Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care z 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. z Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices. z Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards. z 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 Ex posure to Ra dio Frequency ( RF) Signa ls Cert ifica t ion I nform ation ( SAR) Your wireless phone is a radio transm 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 the U.S. governm ent . These FCC exposure lim its are derived from t he recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizations, the Nat ional Counsel on Radiat ion Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and the I nstit ute of
Elect rical and Electronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n both cases, the recom m endat ions were developed by scient ific and engineering expert s drawn from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia aft er extensive reviews of the scientific lit erature relat ed t o 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 absorption of RF energy by t he hum an body expressed in unit s of watts per kilogram ( W/ kg). The FCC requires wireless phones t o com ply with a safet y lim it of 1.6 watts per kilogram ( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst antial m argin of safet y t o give additional prot ection t o t he public and to account for any variat ions in m easurem ents. SAR test s are conduct ed using st andard operating posit ions accepted by the FCC wit h the phone transm itting at it s highest certified power level in all test ed frequency bands. Although the SAR is det erm ined at t he highest cert ified power level, t he actual 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 to operat e at m ult iple power levels so as to use only t he power required to reach t he network. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless base st at ion ant enna, the lower t he power out put. Before a new m odel phone is available for sale to the public, it m ust be tested and cert ified t o t he FCC that it does not exceed the exposure lim it est ablished by t he FCC. Test s for each m odel phone are perform ed in positions and locations ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on t he body) as required by the 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 designated for this product or when used wit h an accessory that contains no m etal and that positions the handset a m inim um of 1.5 cm from the body. Non- com pliance wit h the above rest rict ions m ay result in violat ion of FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR inform ation on t his and other m odel phones can be viewed on- line at www.fcc.gov/ oet/ fccid. This sit e uses the phone FCC I D num ber, A3LSGHA697. Som et im es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove the bat tery pack to find the num ber. Once you have the FCC I D num ber for a part icular phone, follow t he inst ructions on the websit e and it should provide values for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a particular phone. Addit ional product specific SAR inform ation can also be obt ained at www.fcc.gov/ cgb/ sar. Consum er I nform ation on W irele ss Phone s The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist ration ( 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 t he following informat ion: W ha t kinds of phones a re t he subj ect of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand- held wireless phones with built - in ant ennas, often 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 ited by Federal Com m unications Com m ission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safet y agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure t o RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h increasing distance from the source. The so-called “ cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to t he telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within t he FCC's com pliance lim it s. Do w ireless phone s pose a healt h hazard? The available scient ific evidence does not show that any healt h problem s are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolut ely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels of radio frequency energy ( RF) in the m icrowave range while being used. They also em it very low levels of RF when in the 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 that does not produce heat ing effect s causes no known adverse healt h effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effect s. Som e studies have suggested that 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 those st udies, or in det erm ining the reasons for inconsist ent results. W ha t is FD A's role conce rning the safe ty of w irele ss ph ones? Under t he law, FDA does not review the safet y of radiation-em it ting consum er products 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 t o 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 anufacturers of wireless phones t o notify users of t he healt h hazard and to repair, replace or recall t he phones so that the hazard no longer exist s. Alt hough the existing scient ific dat a do not j ustify FDA regulat ory act ions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry t o t ake a num ber of st eps, including t he following: z “ Support needed research into possible biological effect s of RF of the t ype em itted by wireless phones; z “ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device funct ion; and z “ Cooperate 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 that have responsibility for different aspect s of RF safet y to ensure coordinat ed effort s at t he federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group: z “ Nat ional I nst itute for Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h z “ Environm ent al Protect ion Agency z “ Federal Com m unications Com m ission z “ Occupat ional Safet y and Health Adm inistrat ion z “ Nat ional Telecom m unications and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion The Nat ional I nstit utes of Healt h part icipat es in som e int eragency working group act ivities, as well. FDA shares regulat ory responsibilities for wireless phones wit h t he Federal Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC). All phones that are sold in t he Unit ed St ates m ust com ply wit h FCC safet y guidelines that lim it RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safet y quest ions about wireless phones. FCC also regulates t he base stat ions t hat t he wireless phone net works rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operate at higher power than do the wireless phones t hem selves, the RF exposures that people get from these base st at ions are t ypically t housands of tim es lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect of the safet y questions discussed in this docum ent . W ha t are the r esult s of t he r esea rch done alr ea dy? The research done t hus far has produced conflicting result s, and m any studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al experim ents invest igating the effects of radio frequency energy ( RF) exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing results that oft en cannot be repeated in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al studies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerate the developm ent of cancer in laboratory anim als. However, m any of t he studies that showed increased tum or developm ent used anim als that had been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer- causing chem icals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her studies exposed the anim als t o RF for up to 22 hours per day. These condit ions are not sim ilar t o the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert aint y what t he result s of such studies m ean for hum an healt h. Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber 2000. Between them , the studies investigat ed any possible associat ion between the 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 other cancers. None of t he studies dem onst rated the exist ence of any harm ful healt h effects from wireless phones RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer quest ions about
long- t erm exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years. W ha t rese ar ch is neede d t o decide w he ther RF exposur e from w ireless phones pose s a he alt h risk? A com binat ion of laboratory 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 st udies could be com pleted 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 direct ly applicable t o hum an populations, but ten or m ore years' follow- up m ay be needed to provide answers about som e health effect s, such as cancer. This is because t he int erval bet ween t he t im e of exposure t o 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 int erpret at ion of epidem iological studies is ham pered by difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day- to- 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 ha t is FD A doing t o find out m ore about the possible hea lt h effe cts of w irele ss phone RF? FDA is working wit h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h groups of invest igators around t he world to ensure t hat high priorit y anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im port ant quest ions about t he effects of exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF). FDA has been a leading part icipant in the World Healt h Organizat ion int ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in 1996. An influential result of this work has been t he developm ent of a detailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven t he establishm ent of new research program s around t he world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public inform at ion docum ents on EMF issues. FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nternet Associat ion ( CTI A) have a form al Cooperative Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides the scientific oversight , obt aining input from expert s in governm ent , indust ry, and academ ic organizat ions. CTI A- funded research is conducted through cont ract s t o independent invest igators. The initial research will include bot h 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 t he lat est research developm ents around t he world. W ha t st eps ca n I t a ke t o re duce m y e xposure t o radio fr equency en ergy from m y w ir eless 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 ential risks, you can t ake a few sim ple steps t o m inim ize your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF). Since tim 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. z “ 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 the RF, since the exposure level drops off dram at ically wit h distance. For exam ple, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a rem ote antenna. Again, t he scientific data do not dem onst rate t hat wireless phones are harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure from these product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use. W ha t about childre n using w ire less phone s? The scient ific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. I f you want t o t ake st eps to lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) , the m easures described above would apply t o children and t eenagers using wireless phones. Reducing t he tim e of wireless phone use and increasing the dist ance between the user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure. Som e groups sponsored by ot her national governm ent s 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 ributed leaflets 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 other ill effect s. Their recom m endat ion to lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly precautionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence t hat any health hazard exist s. Do hands- fr ee kit s for w ire less phone s reduce risks fr om e xposure t o RF e m issions? Since there are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands- free kit s reduce risks. Hands- free kit s can be used with wireless phones for convenience and com fort . These system 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 t he head. On the other hand, if t he phone is m ount ed against the waist or other part of t he body during use, t hen t hat part of the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arketed in the U.S. are required t o m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whether t hey are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configuration should result in com pliance wit h the safety lim it . Do w ireless phone a ccessor ies t ha t cla im t o shie ld t he head from RF ra diation w or k? Since there are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat accessories that claim to shield t he head from those em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
claim to shield the user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while others involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at tached to the phone. Studies have shown t hat t hese products generally do not work as advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kit s, 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 to com pensate, leading to an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n February 2002, t he Federal t rade Com m ission (FTC) charged two com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed t o protect wireless phone users from radiation wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iat ed claim s. According t o FTC, t hese defendants lacked a reasonable basis t o subst antiate t heir claim . W ha t about w ireless phone interference w ith m edical equ ipm e nt ? Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can interact with som e elect ronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed test m ethod to m easure electrom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test m ethod 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 j oint effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any other groups, was com pleted in lat e 2000. This standard will allow m anufact urers t o ensure t hat cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI . FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop a volunt ary standard sponsored by the I nst it ute of Electrical and Elect ronic Engineers ( I EEE). This standard specifies test m et hods and perform ance requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no interference 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 st andard was approved by the I EEE in 2000. FDA continues t o m onit or t he use of wireless phones for possible int eractions with ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful interference be found t o occur, FDA will conduct t est ing t o assess the int erference and work to resolve the problem .

But an im port ant responsibility 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 responsibilit y. When using your wireless phone behind t he wheel of a car, practice good com m on sense and rem em ber the following tips: 1. Get t o know your wireless phone and it s feat ures, such as speed dial and redial. I f available, t hese feat ures help you to place your call without taking your at t ention off the 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 with one of t he m any hands free accessories available today. 3. Position your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able to access your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from the road. I f you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient t im e, let your voice m ail answer it for you. 4. Let t he person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weat her condit ions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous. 5. Do not t ake notes or look up phone num bers while driving. Jot ting down a “ to do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes at t ention away from your prim ary responsibility, driving safely. 6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not m oving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be st at ionary. I f you need to m ake a call while m oving, dial only a few num bers, check the road and your m irrors, then continue. 7. Do not engage in stressful or em otional conversat ions that m ay be distract ing. Make people you are t alking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations t hat have t he pot ential t o divert your at t ention from the road. 8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9- 1-1 or ot her local em ergency num ber in t he case of fire, traffic 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 ot hers in em ergencies. I f you see an auto accident , crim e in progress or other serious em ergency where lives are in danger, call 9- 1-1 or ot her local em ergency num ber, as you would want others 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 t raffic signal, a m inor traffic accident where no one appears inj ured, or a vehicle you know to be st olen, call roadside assist ance or other special non-em ergency num ber. “The w ire less indust ry r em inds you to u se your phone sa fely w hen driving.” For m ore inform a tion, please call 1 - 8 8 8 - 9 0 1 - SAFE, or visit our w eb- sit e w w w .w ow - com .com Provided by the Cellula r Telecom m unica tions & I nt e rnet Associa t ion Ope ra t ing Environm ent Rem em ber t o follow any special regulat ions in force in any area and always swit ch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it , or when it m ay cause interference or danger. When connect ing the phone or any accessory to another device, read its user's guide for det ailed safety inst ruct ions. Do not connect incom patible products. As with ot her m obile radio transm itting equipm ent, users are advised t hat for t he satisfactory operation of t he equipm ent and for t he safety of personnel, it is recom m ended that t he equipm ent should only be used in the norm al operating position ( held to your ear wit h the ant enna point ing over your shoulder). Usin g Your Phone N ear Ot her Ele ct ronic Devices Most m odern electronic equipm ent is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, cert ain elect ronic equipm ent m ay not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult t he m anufact urer to discuss alt ernatives. Pa cem a ke rs Pacem aker m anufact urers recom m end t hat a m inim um dist ance of 15 cm ( 6 inches) be m aint ained between a wireless phone and a pacem aker to avoid potential interference wit h t he pacem aker.
