Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure t o sound at high volum es can cause hearing dam age.
Always turn 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 your 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.

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.

Ex posure t o Radio Frequen cy ( RF) Signals
Cer t ifica t ion I nfor m at ion ( SAR)
Your w ireless phone is a radio transm it t er and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufactured not t o exceed the exposure lim its 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 its are derived from t he
recom m endations of t wo expert organizat ions, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiat ion Protect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst itut e of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers (I EEE) . I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endations w ere developed by scientific and engineering expert s
drawn from industry, governm ent , and academ ia aft er extensive reviews
of the scient ific lit erature related t o 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 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 the hum an
body expressed in unit s of wat t s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones to com ply with a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogr am
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incor porat es a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y to give addit ional protect ion t o t he public and to account for any
variations in m easurem ent s.
SAR test s are conducted using standard operat ing posit ions accepted by
the FCC wit h t he phone t ransm it t ing at its highest cer t ified pow er 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 to operat e at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required to reach t he net work. I n general, t he closer you are to a wireless
base stat ion antenna, t he lower the power out put .
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o the public, it m ust be
test ed and cert ified to t he FCC t hat it does not exceed t he exposure lim it
est ablished by t he FCC. Tests for each m odel phone are perform ed in
positions and locat ions ( e.g. at the ear and wor n on t he body) as required
by the FCC.
For body worn operat ion, this m odel phone has been t est ed and m eet s
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used wit h a Sam sung accessory
designat ed for t his product or when used wit h an accessory t hat cont ains
no m et al and t hat posit ions t he 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 violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform at ion on this and ot her m odel phones can be viewed on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This sit e uses the phone FCC I D num ber,
A3LSGHI 917. Som et im es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove the bat t ery 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 t he websit e and it should provide values
for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a part icular phone. Addit ional product

Consu m er I nfor m at ion on W ireless Phones
The U.S. Food and Dr ug Adm inistrat ion ( FDA) has published a series of
Questions and Answ ers for consum ers relating to radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publicat ion includes t he
following inform at ion:
W ha t k inds of ph ones a re t h e subj ect of t his upda t e ?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held w ireless phones with
built-in antennas, oft en 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 dist ance bet ween t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unications Com m ission safet y guidelines t hat were developed wit h
the advice of FDA and ot her federal health and safety agencies. When t he
phone is locat ed at great er dist ances fr om the user, t he exposure t o RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing dist ance from t he source. The so-called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed to the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operat e at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well within the FCC's com pliance lim its.
Do w ireless phones pose a he a lt h h a za r d?
The available scient ific evidence does not show that any healt h problem s
are associat ed w it h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that w ir eless 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 healt h effect s ( by heating 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 effect s. Som e st udies have suggested t hat 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, ot her researchers have had
difficult y in reproducing t hose st udies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent results.
W ha t is FD A's role concer ning t he sa fet y of w ireless phones?
Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safety of radiat ion-em it t ing
consum er product s such as w ireless phones before they can be sold, as it
does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut hority t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown to em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous t o t he user. I n such a
case, FDA could require t he m anufact urers of wireless phones t o notify
users of the healt h hazard and to repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that the hazard no longer exist s.
Alt hough t he exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone industry t o t ake a num ber of st eps,
including t he following:
“ Support needed research int o possible biological effects of RF of
the t ype em itted by w ireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure
to t he user t hat 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 effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies that
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y t o ensure coordinated
effort s at the federal level. The following agencies belong t o this working
group:
“ Nat ional I nst itut e for Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h
“ Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
“ Occupational Safet y and Health Adm inistrat ion
“ Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform ation Adm inistrat ion
The National I nst itut es of Healt h part icipat es in som e int eragency working
group act ivit ies, as w ell.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless 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 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 at ions operat e at higher power t han do the
wireless phones t hem selves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base stat ions are t ypically thousands of tim es lower t han those t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base stations are t hus not t he prim ary subject
of t he safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent .
W ha t a r e t he re sult s of t he r e se a r ch done a lr ea dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igat ing t he effects 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 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 laborat ory 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 genetically 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 t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he condit ions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert ainty what t he result s of such
studies m ean for hum an health.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Bet ween t hem , the st udies 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 the brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he studies dem onst rat ed t he
exist ence of any harm ful healt h effects from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of the st udies can answer quest ions about
long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around t hree years.
W ha t r ese a r ch is neede d t o de cide w he t her RF ex posur e fr om
w ir eless phone s poses a he a lt h r isk ?
A com binat ion of laborat ory 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. Lifet im e anim al exposure st udies could be com pleted in a few
years. However, very lar ge num bers of anim als would be needed t o
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exists.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a that is directly applicable t o
hum an populat ions, but t en or m ore years' follow-up m ay be needed to
provide answers about som e healt h effect s, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between the t im e of exposure t o a cancer-causing
agent and t he t im e tum 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-t o-day use of
wireless phones. Many fact ors affect this 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 FD A doing t o find out m ore a bout t he possible hea lt h
effect s of w ir eless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of invest igat ors around the world to ensure that high priorit y
anim al st udies are conducted t o address im portant questions about t he
effect s of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading part icipant in t he World Healt h Organizat ion
int ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Project since its incept ion in
1996. An influential result of t his work has been the developm ent of a
detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishm ent of
new resear ch program s around t he world. The Proj ect has also helped
develop a series of public inform at ion docum ents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nt ernet Association ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat ive Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scientific
over sight, obt aining input fr om experts in governm ent , indust ry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A-funded research is conduct ed t hrough
contract s to independent investigators. The init ial r esearch will include
bot h laboratory st udies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of additional research needs in t he
context of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world.
W ha t st eps can I t ake t o r educe m y ex posur e t o r adio fr equency
ene r gy fr om m y w ireless phon e?
I f there is a risk from these product s - and at this point w e do not know
that there 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 st eps t o m inim ize
your exposure t o 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 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 bet ween your body and
the source of the RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram atically wit h distance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connect ed t o a rem ote ant enna.
Again, t he scient ific data do not dem onst rate that w ireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure from these
products, you can use m easures like t hose described above to reduce
your RF exposure from w ireless phone use.
W ha t a bout childr en using w ir eless phones?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o t ake steps t o
lower exposure to radio fr equency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described
above would apply t o children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing t he tim e of wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance
between the user and the RF source will r educe RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by other 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 United Kingdom dist ributed leaflet s containing such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed that no evidence exists
that using a wireless phone causes brain tum ors or ot her ill effects. Their
recom m endat ion t o lim it w ireless phone use by children was strict ly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any healt h
hazard exists.
Do ha nds-fre e k it s for w ireless phone s re duce risk s from e x posur e
t o RF em issions?
Since t here 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 wit h wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em s reduce t he absorption of RF energy in t he
head because t he phone, which is t he 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 ot her 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 t he
U.S. are required to m eet safety requirem ent s regardless of whether t hey
are used against t he head or against t he body. Either configurat ion should
result in com pliance with t he safet y lim it .
Do w ireless phone a ccessor ies t ha t claim t o shield t he hea d fr om
RF r a diat ion w or k?
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 t hat claim
to shield t he head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s that
claim to shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory att ached to t he
phone. St udies have shown that t hese products gener ally do not work as
advert ised. 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 its
power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, the Federal trade Com mission ( 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 unsubstantiated claim s. According to
FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis t o subst antiate t heir
claim .
W ha t a bout w ir eless phon e int erfe rence w it h m edica l equipm ent ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can interact w it h som e
electronic devices. For t his r eason, FDA helped develop a det ailed test
m et hod t o m easure elect rom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless telephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Association for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum entat 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 pleted in lat e 2000. This standard will allow m anufact urers t o
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 andar d sponsored by the I nst it ute of Electrical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m ethods 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 t im e. This st andard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000.
FDA continues t o m onit or t he use of w ir eless phones for possible
int eract ions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int er ference be
found t o occur, FDA w ill conduct t est ing t o assess t he interference and
work to resolve the problem .

Roa d Sa fet y
Your w ireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y t o com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im 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 responsibility . 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 t o know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese features help you t o place your
call wit hout taking y our at t ent ion off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. I f possible, add an
addit ional layer of convenience and safet y t o your wireless phone
wit h one of t he m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Position your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able to access
your wireless phone wit hout rem oving your eyes from t he 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 the person you are speaking with 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 t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not take not es or look up phone num bers w hile driving. Jot ting
down a “ to do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes
at tent ion away from your prim ary responsibilit y, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess t he t raffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not m oving or before pulling int o traffic. Try to plan calls
when your car will be stationary. I f you need t o m ake a call while
m oving, dial only a few num bers, check the road and your m irrors,
then cont inue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em ot ional conversations t hat m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he potent ial t o divert your
attent ion from t he r oad.
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, 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 auto accident , crim e in progress or other serious em ergency
where lives are in danger, call 9- 1- 1 or other local em ergency
