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.  Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts.  Your phone is a complex electronic device— protect it from impacts and 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.
Health and safety information Cer t ifica t ion I nfor m ation ( SAR) Ex posure t o Ra dio Fr equency ( RF) Signa ls Your wir eless phone is a radio t ransm it t er and receiver. I t is designed and m anufact ured not t o exceed the 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 organizat ions, the Nat ional Counsel on Radiat ion Prot ection and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ut e of Elect rical and Electronics Engineers ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, the recom m endat ions w ere developed by scient ific and engineering expert s drawn from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia after extensive reviews of t he scient ific lit erature relat ed 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 ts per kilogram ( W/ kg). The FCC requires wireless phones t o com ply w it h a safety lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogram ( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporates a subst antial m argin of safety to give addit ional prot ect ion t o t he public and to account for any variat ions in m easurem ent s. SAR test s are conducted using st andard operating positions accept ed by the FCC w it h t he phone t ransm it t ing at it s highest cer tified power level in all t est ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is det erm ined at the highest cert ified power level, t he act ual SAR lev el of the phone while operat ing can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because t he phone is designed t o operat e at m ult iple power levels so as to use only t he power required t o reach the net work. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless base stat ion ant enna, t he lower t he power output. Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o t he public, it m ust be test ed and certified t o t he FCC t hat it does not exceed t he exposure lim it est ablished by the FCC. Tests for each m odel phone are perform ed in positions and locat ions ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on the body) as required by t he FCC. For body w orn operat ion, t his m odel phone has been t est ed and m eet s the FCC RF exposur e guidelines when used with a Sam sung accessory designat ed for t his product or when used wit h an accessory that cont ains no m et al and t hat posit ions the 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 violat ion of FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR inform at ion on t his and ot her m odel phones can be viewed on-line

Once you have t he FCC I D num ber for a part icular phone, follow the inst ruct ions on the websit e and it should provide values for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a part icular phone. Addit ional product specific SAR inform at ion can also be obt ained at www.fcc.gov/ cgb/ sar. The U.S. Food and Dr ug Adm inist rat ion ( FDA) has published a ser ies of Quest ions and Answ ers for consum ers relat ing t o radio frequency ( RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publicat ion includes the following inform at ion: Consum er I nform ation on W ir eless Phone s W ha t k inds of phones a re t he subj e ct of t his upda t e? The t erm 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 t he user to m easurable radio frequency energy ( RF) because of t he short distance 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 safet y guidelines t hat were developed with the advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he phone is locat ed at great er distances from the user, the exposure t o 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 telephone wiring in a house, typically operat e at far lower pow er levels, and thus produce RF exposur es well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim its. Do w ireless phones pose a hea lt h hazar d? 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 pr oof, however , that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels of radio fr equency energy ( RF) in t he m icrow ave range while being used. They also em it very low levels of RF w hen in t he st and-by m ode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce healt h effects (by heat ing t issue) , exposure to low level RF t hat does not produce heat ing effect s causes no known adverse health effect s. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Som e st udies have suggest ed t hat som e biological effects 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 studies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for inconsist ent result s. W ha t is FDA's role concerning t he sa fe t y of w ir eless phones? Under t he law, FDA does not review the safet y of radiat ion-em it ting consum er product s such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, the agency has
aut horit y to t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown t o em it radio frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous t o the user. I n such a case, FDA could require t he m anufacturers of wir eless phones t o not ify users of t he healt h 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 scient ific dat a do not j ustify FDA regulat ory act ions, FDA has urged t he wireless phone industry t o take a num ber of st eps, including t he following:  “ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of the t ype em it ted by wireless phones;  “ Design wireless phones in a way that m inim izes any RF exposure to t he user that is not necessary for device function; and  “ Cooperat e in providing users of wireless phones wit h t he best possible inform at ion on possible effects of wireless phone use on hum an healt h. FDA belongs to an interagency w orking gr oup of t he federal agencies t hat have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y t o ensure coordinated efforts at t he federal level. The follow ing agencies belong t o t his wor king group:  “ Nat ional I nst it ut e for Occupational Safet y and Healt h  “ Environm ent al Prot ection Agency  “ Federal Com m unications Com m ission  “ Occupational Safet y and Healt h Adm inist ration  “ Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform ation Adm inistrat ion The Nat ional I nst itut es of Healt h part icipat es in som e inter agency working group act ivit ies, as well. FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wir eless phones wit h t he Federal Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC) . All phones t hat are sold in t he Unit ed St at es m ust com ply with FCC safety guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies for safet y questions about wir eless phones. FCC also regulat es t he base stat ions t hat the wireless phone net works rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operate at higher pow er than do the wir eless phones them selves, t he RF exposures t hat people get from these base st at ions are typically thousands of t im es lower t han those t hey can get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are thus not t he prim ary subj ect of the safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent . W ha t a re t he r esult s of t he resear ch done a lr eady? The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing results, and m any studies have suffered from flaws in their research m et hods. Anim al experim ents invest igat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF) exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting result s t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in other laborat ories. A few anim al studies, how ever, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerate the developm ent of cancer in laborat ory anim als. However, m any of t he
studies t hat show ed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer-causing chem icals so as t o be pre-disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her studies exposed the anim als to RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These condit ions are not sim ilar to the condit ions under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert aint y what t he results of such studies m ean for hum an health. Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber 2000. Bet ween them , t he studies invest igat ed 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 other cancers. None of t he studies dem onst rat ed t he exist ence of any har m ful healt h effect s from wireless phones RF exposures. How ever, none of the st udies can answer quest ions about long-t erm exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese studies was around three years. W ha t resear ch is needed t o decide w he t her RF e xposur e from w ir eless phones poses a h ea lt h r isk ? A com binat ion of laborat ory studies and epidem iological st udies of people act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he data t hat are needed. Lifet im e anim al exposure studies could be com plet ed 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 exist s. Epidem iological st udies can pr ovide dat a t hat is direct ly applicable t o hum an populations, but t en or m ore years' follow-up m ay be needed t o provide answers about som e health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval bet ween the t im e of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any years. The interpret ation of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wir eless phones. Many fact ors affect t his m easurem ent, such as the angle at w hich the phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used. W ha t is FDA doing t o find out m or e a bou t t he possible hea lt h effe ct s of w ir eless phone RF? FDA is working w it h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and w it h groups of invest igat ors around t he world t o ensure t hat high priorit y anim al st udies are conducted t o address im port ant quest ions about t he effect s of exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) . FDA has been a leading par ticipant in t he World Healt h Or ganizat ion internat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s inception in 1996. An influent ial result of this work has been t he developm ent of a det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven t he 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) t o do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scient ific oversight , obt aining input from experts in governm ent , indust ry, and academ ic organizations. CTI A-funded resear ch is conduct ed through cont ract s t o independent invest igators. The init ial research will include bot h laborat ory 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 context of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world. W hat st eps can I t ak e t o reduce m y ex posur e t o radio fr equency energy from m y w ireless phone? I f there is a risk from these 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 potent ial risks, you can t ake a few sim ple steps 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 t he am ount of t im e spent using a w ir eless phone will reduce RF exposure.  “ I f you m ust conduct ext ended conversat ions by wireless phone every day, you could place m ore dist ance bet ween your body and the source of t he 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. Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e t hat wireless phones are harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure fr om 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 a bout children using w ir eless phones? The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o t ake st eps t o lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described above would apply t o children and t eenager s using w ireless phones. Reducing t he tim 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 ent s have advised t hat children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple, the governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ributed leaflets cont aining such a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes br ain t um ors or ot her ill effects. Their recom m endation t o lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence t hat any healt h hazard exist s. Do hands-free k it s for w ir ele ss phones r educe r isk s from exposur e t o RF em issions? Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kit s can be used w ith w ireless phones for convenience
and com fort. These syst em s reduce t he absorpt ion 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 t he waist or other part of the body during use, t hen t hat part of the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in t he U.S. are required to m eet safety requirem ents regardless of whether 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 safety lim it . Do w ireless phone acce ssor ies t hat cla im t o shield t h e he ad fr om RF r adia t ion w ork? Since t here are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe that accessories that claim to shield t he head from those em issions reduce risks. Som e product s that claim t o shield t he user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while ot hers involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at tached t o the phone. St udies have shown that t hese product s generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “ hand-free” kits, t hese so-called “ shields” m ay interfere 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 to an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n February 2002, the Federal t rade Com m ission (FTC) charged two com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users from radiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubst antiat ed claim s. According t o FTC, t hese defendant s lacked a reasonable basis t o substant iat e their claim . W ha t a bout w ir eless phone in ter ference w it h m e dical equipm ent ? Radio frequency energy ( RF) from w ireless phones can int eract wit h som e electronic devices. For t his 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 planted cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless t elephones. This test 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 j oint effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any ot her groups, was com plet ed in lat e 2000. This standard will allow m anufact urers t o ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless phone EMI . FDA has t ested wireless phones and helped develop a volunt ary st andard sponsored by t he I nstit ute of Elect rical and Elect ronic Engineers ( I EEE) . This standard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance requirem ent s 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 tim e. This st andard w as approved by the I EEE in 2000. FDA cont inues t o m onitor the use of wir eless phones for possible interact ions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be found t o occur, FDA will conduct test ing t o assess t he int erference and work to resolve t he problem .

When using your wir eless phone behind t he w heel of a car, pract ice good com m on sense and rem em ber the following t ips: 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 t aking your attent ion off t he road. 2. When available, use a hands-fr ee device. I f possible, add an additional layer of convenience and safet y t o your wireless phone wit h one of t he m any hands free accessories available today. 3. Posit ion your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able t o access your wireless phone wit hout rem oving your eyes from the 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 t he person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weather 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. Jot ting down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes at tent ion away from your prim ar y responsibility, dr iving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not m oving or before pulling int o t raffic. Try t o plan calls when your car will be st ationary. 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 ot ional conversat ions t hat m ay be dist ract ing. Make people you are talking wit h aware you ar e driving and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he potential to divert your attent ion from t he road. 8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help.
