Always t urn t he volum e down before plugging t he earphones int o an audio source and
use only t he m inim um volum e set t ing necessary t o hear you r conv ersat ion or m usic.
Install mobile phones and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle are
securely mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag
deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury
when air bags inflate rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically designed for
your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries
or damage to your phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when disposing used batteries or phones.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave
ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high
external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones and pacemakers to
avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers and the
independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you have any reason
to suspect that your phone is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device,
turn off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or
medical device for guidance.
Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or
chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning signs or instructions.
Your phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or chemical storage
and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases,
or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or
accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone with
a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the number of
keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent
breaks.
Safety precautions
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.

Using incompatible accessories may damage your phone or cause injury.
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.
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.

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
at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use t he phone FCC I D num ber for
search, A3LSGHI 827. Som etim es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove the
battery pack t o find t he num ber. 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

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 .

Your wir eless phone gives you the power ful abilit y t o com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anyw here, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibility
accom panies t he benefit s of wir eless phones, one t hat every user m ust
uphold.
Roa d Sa fety
When dr iving a car, driving is your first r esponsibilit y. 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. Dial 9-1- 1 or other local
em ergency num ber in t he case of fire, t raffic accident or m edical
em ergencies. Rem em ber, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone t o help ot hers in em ergencies. I f y ou see

Connectivity
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology capable of
exchanging information over a distance of about 10 m without requiring
a physical connection.
You do not need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth. If the
devices are within range of one another, you can exchange information between
them even if they are located in different rooms.
Samsung is not responsible for the loss, interception, or misuse of
data sent or received via the Bluetooth wireless feature.
Always ensure that you share and receive data with devices that are trusted
and properly secured. If there are obstacles between the devices, the operating
distance may be reduced.
Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by Bluetooth
SIG, may be incompatible with your device.
