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
z 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.
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

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 .

Road Safet y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y t o com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anytim e. 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.
