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

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.
Health and safety information
Ex posure to Ra dio Freque ncy ( RF) Signals
Cert ifica t ion I nform at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transm itter and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufactured not to exceed the exposure lim it s for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by the Federal Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S.
governm ent. These FCC exposure lim its are derived from the
recom m endations of t wo expert organizations, t he National Counsel on
Radiat ion Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ute of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n both cases, the
recom m endations were developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from indust ry, governm ent , and academ ia after extensive reviews
of t he scientific literature related to the biological effect s of RF energy.
The exposure lim it set by the FCC for wireless m obile phones em ploys a
unit of m easurem ent known as the Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR). The
SAR is a m easure of t he rate of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in units of wat ts per kilogram ( W/ kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to com ply with a safet y lim it of 1.6 watt s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporates a subst ant ial m argin of
safety to give additional protect ion t o the public and t o account for any
variations in m easurem ents.
SAR test s are conduct ed using st andard operating posit ions accepted by
the FCC with the phone t ransm it t ing at it s highest certified power level in
all t est ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
certified 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 the phone is
designed t o operate at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required t o reach t he network. I n general, the closer you are to 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 t o t he public, it m ust be
test ed and certified to the FCC t hat 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 the ear and worn on the 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
designated for t his product or when used wit h an accessory that cont ains
no m etal and t hat positions t he handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from t he
body.
Non- com pliance wit h t he above rest rict ions m ay result in violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform ation on t his and other m odel phones can be viewed on- line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the phone FCC I D num ber for
search, A3LSGHI 717. Som etim es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove t he
batt ery pack t o find the num ber. Once you have t he FCC I D num ber for a
part icular phone, follow t he inst ructions on t he website and it should
provide values for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a part icular phone.

Consum e r I nform at ion on W ire le 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 relating t o radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes t he
following inform ation:
W ha t kinds of phone s are t he subj e ct of t his updat e?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones with
built- in ant ennas, often 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 t he short dist ance bet ween the phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unications Com m ission safety guidelines t hat were developed with
the advice of FDA and other federal healt h and safety agencies. When t he
phone is located at great er distances from t he user, the exposure to RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing dist ance from the source. The so-called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed t o the t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF
exposures well within the FCC's com pliance lim its.
Do w ireless phone s pose a hea lth haza r d?
The available scientific evidence does not show t hat any health problem s
are associated wit h 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 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 health effect s (by heat ing t issue), exposure
to low level RF that does not produce heating effect s causes no known
adverse health effect s. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e studies have suggest ed t hat som e
biological effect s m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed
by additional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had
difficult y in reproducing those st udies, or in determ ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent results.
W ha t is FDA's role concerning t he safet y of w ireless phones?
Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safety of radiation- em itt ing
consum er products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or m edical devices. However, the agency has
authority 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 the m anufact urers of wireless phones t o not ify
users of t he health hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that t he hazard no longer exist s.
Alt hough t he exist ing scientific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to t ake a num ber of steps,
including t he following:
“ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
the t ype em itted by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure
to the user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and
“ Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible inform ation on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs to an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safety t o ensure coordinated
effort s at t he federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working
group:
“ National I nst itute for Occupational Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ent al Protect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupational Safety and Healt h Adm inistration
“ National Telecom m unications and I nform ation Adm inist ration
The National I nst it utes of Healt h part icipat es in som e interagency working
group act ivities, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless phones with the Federal
Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
St ates m ust com ply with FCC safet y guidelines that lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates t he base st at ions t hat the wireless phone net works
rely upon. While t hese base st ations operate at higher power than do the
wireless phones them selves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base st at ions are t ypically thousands of t im es lower than those they can
get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the prim ary subj ect
of t he safet y quest ions discussed in this docum ent .
W ha t ar e t h e result s of t h e resea r ch don e alrea dy?
The research done thus far has produced conflict ing results, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m ethods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igating t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
result s t hat oft en cannot be repeated in other laboratories. 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 t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or t reated with cancer-causing chem icals so
as t o 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 to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not sim ilar to t he conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what t he results of such
studies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Between t hem , t he studies invest igated any possible associat ion
between t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, tum ors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or other cancers. None of t he st udies dem onstrated t he
exist ence of any harm ful health effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions about
long- t erm exposures, since the average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around t hree years.
W ha t re search is nee de d t o de cide w het he r RF exposure from
w ir eless phon es pose s a healt h risk?
A com bination of laboratory studies and epidem iological st udies of people
actually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he data that 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 oting effect if one exists.
Epidem iological studies can provide data that 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 health effect s, such as cancer. This is
because t he int erval bet ween the t im e of exposure t o a cancer- causing
agent and the tim e tum ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpretation 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 t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W ha t is FDA doing t o find out m ore a bout t he possible healt h
effe cts of w ireless phone RF?
FDA is working with t he U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of invest igat ors around t he world to ensure that high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed to address im port ant questions about t he
effect s of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
int ernational Elect rom agnetic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since its inception in
1996. An influential result of t his work has been the 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 ation docum ents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nternet Association ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperative Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o
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 organizations. CTI A- funded research is conduct ed t hrough
contract s to independent invest igators. The initial research will include
both laboratory st udies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of additional research needs in the
context of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world.
W ha t st e ps can I t a k e t o r educe m y exposure t o r a dio frequency
en ergy from m y w ireless phone?
I f there is a risk from t hese product s - and at t his point we do not know
that t here 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 st eps to m inim ize
your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF). Since t im e is a key factor
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 ext ended conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore dist ance between your body and
the source of t he RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram atically with dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body.
.
Again, t he scientific data do not dem onst rate that 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 those described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W ha t about children using w ireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want to take steps t o
lower exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described
above would apply t o children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the t im e of wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance
between t he user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by other 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 leaflet s cont aining such
a recom m endation in Decem ber 2000. They noted t hat no evidence exists
that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or other ill effect s. Their
recom m endation to lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence t hat any health
hazard exist s.
Do ha n ds- fre e k it s for w ire le ss phone s reduce risk s from ex posure
t o RF e m issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason to believe that hands- free kits reduce
risks. Hands- free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em s reduce the absorpt ion of RF energy in the
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 other hand, if t he phone is m ount ed
against the waist or other part of t he body during use, then 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 safety requirem ent s regardless of whet her t hey
are used against t he head or against the body. Eit her configuration should
result in com pliance with the safet y lim it.
Do w ireless phone a cce ssor ie s th a t cla im t o shield t he head from
RF r a dia t ion w ork ?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason to believe that accessories that claim
to shield the head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s that
claim t o shield the user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
others involve nothing m ore than a m etallic accessory at tached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat t hese product s generally do not work as
advertised. Unlike “ hand- free” kits, these so-called “ shields” m ay interfere
with proper operation of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost its
power t o com pensate, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, t he Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged t wo
com panies t hat sold devices that claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users
from radiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iat ed claim s. According to
FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis to subst ant iate their
claim .
W ha t about w ire less phone int erfe rence w it h m edical equipm en t ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can interact with 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 agnetic int erference (EMI ) of im planted
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum entation ( AAMI ) . The final draft , a j oint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any other groups,
was com plet ed in lat e 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers to
ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators 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 nst itute of Elect rical and Elect ronic
Engineers (I EEE) . This st andard specifies test m ethods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no int erference
occurs when a person uses a com patible phone and a com patible hearing
aid at the sam e tim e. This st andard was approved by the I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues to m onitor t he use of wireless phones for possible
int eract ions with other m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess t he interference and
work t o resolve the problem .

Roa d Safe t y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y to com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anytim e. But an im portant responsibilit y
accom panies the benefits of wireless phones, one that 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 t he following t ips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese feat ures help you to place your
call wit hout t aking your at tent ion off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
addit ional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone
with one of t he m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Position 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 t im e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let t he person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weat her
conditions. 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 t ing
down a “ t o 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 stationary. I f you need to 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 conversations t hat m ay be
dist racting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversations that have the potential t o divert your
att ent ion from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help. Dial 9- 1- 1 or other local
em ergency num ber in the 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 ot hers in em ergencies. I f you see
an aut o 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
assist ance 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.

Ba t t ery Standby a nd Ta lk Tim e
St andby and talk t im es will vary depending on phone usage patt erns and
conditions. Batt ery power consum pt ion depends on fact ors such as
network configuration, signal strengt h, operating tem perature, feat ures
selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and ot her application usage
patt erns.
Ba t t ery Pr eca ut ions
Never use any charger or bat t ery t hat is dam aged in any way.
Use the batt ery only for it s intended purpose.
I f you use the phone near t he network's base st ation, it uses less
power; talk and st andby t im e are great ly affected by t he signal
strength on t he cellular network and the param et ers set by t he
network operator.
Battery charging tim e depends on the rem aining batt ery charge
and t he type of battery and charger used. The batt ery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of t im es, but it will gradually
wear out. When t he operation tim e ( t alk tim e and st andby t im e) is
noticeably shorter than norm al, it is t im e to buy a new bat tery.
I f left unused, a fully charged batt ery will discharge itself over t im e.
Use only Sam sung- approved batteries and recharge your battery
only wit h Sam sung- approved chargers. When a charger is not in

tem perature. A phone with a hot or cold batt ery m ay t em porarily
not work, even when t he batt ery is fully charged. Li- ion batteries
are particularly affect ed by tem peratures below 0 ° C ( 32 ° F).
Do not short- circuit the batt ery. Accidental short - circuiting can
occur when a m etallic obj ect ( coin, clip or pen) causes a direct
connect ion bet ween t he + and - term inals of t he batt ery ( m etal
strips on the batt ery) , for exam ple when you carry a spare batt ery
in a pocket or bag. Short- circuit ing the t erm inals m ay dam age the
batt ery or t he object causing t he short- circuit ing.
Dispose of used batt eries in accordance with local regulations. I n
som e areas, the disposal of batt eries in household or business
trash m ay be prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li- I on
batt eries, cont act your nearest Sam sung authorized service cent er.
