Rapid Character Entry

Rapid character entry is easy in any mode, using

the Character Selection Map. As you enter

characters, your phone predicts the next

character you might want and presents choices

in the Character Selection Map area. When a

desired character appears, you may select it as

described in Step 3 on page 48.

For example, if you want to type the word

“zhong guo ( )” and entered the first

character using the following keystrokes; 9, 4, 6,

6, 1 and 7, you don’t need to complete the

Pinyin spelling to include “guo ( ).” With no

extra typing, the character is displayed

conveniently in the Character Selection Map for

you to choose.

Using the Chinese Stroke Mode

This mode allows you to enter individual Chinese

strokes, in written order, from top to bottom and

from left to right. Your phone provides Chinese

Simplified Stroke mode and Chinese Traditional

Stroke mode.

The two modes work similarly, but the

characters that appear on the display may differ.

Even though there are many different strokes

used to create Chinese characters, the strokes

are classified into 5 basic categories; heng, shu,

pie, dian and zhe. The basic strokes are printed

on the keypad, on the keys 1to 5.

To enter a stroke, press the key printed with the

stroke that most closely represents the exact

stroke you desire.

character from the Character Selection Map

and add it to your message, press the

corresponding key (7to ).

Note: If you are uncertain of the order of one or

more strokes, press the 6key in place of

each questionable stroke. Continue entering

Rapid character entry is easy in any mode, using

the Character Selection Map. As you enter

characters, your phone predicts the next

character you might want and presents choices

in the Character Selection Map area. When a

desired character appears, you may select it as

described in Step 3 on page 51.

In most cases, you will see the desired character

in the Character Selection Map area before you

have entered all of the strokes to build it.

For example, try typing the twelve stroke

character pair “ ” using the following

keystrokes; 2, 8, and 7. Even though “ ” is a

twelve stroke character pair, your phone enables

you to type it in only three key presses!

Using the Quick English Mode

This mode allows you to enter English words

with only one key press per letter. Each key on a

keypad has more than one letter - a single press

on the 5 key could be J, K, or L. The Quick

English mode automatically compares your key

presses to an internal linguistic database to

determine the correct word.

The mode requires far fewer keystrokes than the

traditional multi-tap method, English mode.

1. Press keys on the phone just once per desired

letter. For example, to enter “HELLO,” press

, , , and .

The word that you are typing appears on the

display. It may change with each key that you

press.

2. Type to the end of the word before editing or

deleting any keystrokes.

3. If the word is correct, put a space by pressing

the key and start entering the next word.

Otherwise, press the 0, or key

repeatedly to display alternative word choices

for the keys that you pressed.

Example: Both “OF” and “ME” have the

Health and Safety

Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)

Signals

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed and manufactured, so as to

exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency

(RF) energy, as recommended by the Federal

Communications Commission of the U.S.

Government. These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted

levels of RF energy for the general population. The

guidelines are based on the safety standards

previously set by both U.S. and international

standards bodies:

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

IEEE. C95.1-1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6.

The standards include a substantial safety margind

designed to assure the safety of all persons,

regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs

a unit of measurement known as the SAR (Specific

Absorption Rate). The SAR limit recommended by

the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one

gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial

margin of safety to give additional protection for the public

and to account for any variations in measurements.

Health and Safety Information

132

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating

positions specified by the FCC with the phone

transmitting at its highest certified power level in all

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is

determined at the highest certified power level, the

actual SAR level of the phone while operation can

be well below the maximum value. This is because

the phone is designed to operate at multiple power

levels so as to use only the power required to reach

the network. In general, the closer you are to a

base station, the lower the power output of the

phone.

Before a new phone model is available for sale to

the public, it must be tested and certified to the

FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by

the government-adopted requirement for safe

exposure. The tests are performed in positions and

locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as

required by the FCC for each model. (Body-worn

measurements may differ among phone models,

depending upon available accessories and FCC

requirements). While there may be differences

between the SAR levels of various phones and at

various positions, they all meet the government

requirement for safe exposure.

For body worn operation, to maintain compliance

with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only

Samsung- approved accessories. When carrying the

phone while it is on, use the specific Samsung-

supplied or approved carrying case, holster, or

other body-worn accessory.

Use of non-Samsung-approved accessories may

violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be

avoided.

Operation and is subject to the condition that this

device does not cause harmful interference.

135

Precautions When Using Batteries

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion

standard battery.

• Never use any charger or battery that is

damaged in any way.

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network’s base

station, it uses less power; talk and standby

time are greatly affected by the signal strength

on the cellular network and the parameters set

by the network operator.

• Battery charging time depends on the

remaining battery charge and the type of

battery and charger used. The battery can be

charged and discharged hundreds of times, but

it will gradually wear out. When the operation

time including talk time and standby time is

noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to

buy a new battery.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will

discharge itself over time.

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and

recharge your battery only with Samsung-

approved chargers. When a charger is not in

use, disconnect it from the power source. Do

not leave the battery connected to a charger

for more than a week, since overcharging may

shorten its life.

134

Health and Safety Information

• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging

capacity of your battery; it may require cooling

or warming first.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places,

such as in a car in summer or winter

conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and

life-time of the battery. Always try to keep the

battery at room temperature. A phone with a

hot or cold battery may temporarily not work,

even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion

batteries are particularly affected by

temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental

short circuiting can occur when a metallic

object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct

connection between the + and - terminals of

the battery (metal strips on the back of the

battery), for example when you carry a spare

battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the

terminals may damage the battery or the

object causing the short-circuit.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with

local regulations. Always recycle. Do not

dispose of batteries in a fire.

Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful

ability to communicate by voice, almost

anywhere, anytime. But an important

responsibility accompanies the benefits of

wireless phones, one that every user must

uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first

responsibility. When using your wireless phone

behind the wheel of a car, practice good common

sense and remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its

features, such as speed dial and redial. If

available, these features help you to place

your call without taking your attention off the

road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. If

possible, add an extra layer of convenience

and safety to your wireless phone with one of

the many hands-free accessories available

today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy

reach. Be able to access your wireless phone

without removing your eyes from the road. If

you get an incoming call at an inconvenient

time, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with know

you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call

in heavy traffic or hazardous weather

conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even

heavy traffic can be hazardous.

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers

while driving. Jotting down a To Do list or

flipping through your phonebook takes your

attention away from your primary

responsibility, driving safely.

Health and Safety Information

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if

possible, place calls when you are not moving

or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls

when your car will be stationary. If you need

to make a call while moving, dial only a few

numbers, check the road and your mirrors,

then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting. Make

the people with whom you are talking aware

that you are driving and suspend

conversations that have the potential to divert

your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial

the emergency number in the case of fire,

traffic accident or medical emergencies.

Remember, it is a free call on your wireless

phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. If you see a car accident, crime

in progress or other serious emergency where

lives are in danger, call the emergency

number, as you would want others to do for

you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-

emergency wireless assistance number when

necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle

posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic

signal, a minor traffic accident where no one

appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be

stolen, call roadside assistance or any other

special non-emergency wireless number.

Health and Safety Information

Operating Environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in

force in any area and always switch off your

phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or

when it may cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or any accessory to

another device, read its user’s guide for detailed

safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible

products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting

equipment, users are advised that for the

satisfactory operation of the equipment and for

the safety of personnel, it is recommended that

the equipment should only be used in the normal

operating position (held to your ear with the

antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded

from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,

certain electronic equipment may not be

shielded against the RF signals from your

wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to

discuss alternatives.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a

minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be

maintained between a wireless phone and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with

the pacemaker. These recommendations are

consistent with the independent research and

recommendations of Wireless Technology

Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should always keep the phone more than 15

cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the

phone is switched on

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize potential interference

If you have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place, switch off your

phone immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with

some hearing aids. In the event of such

interference, you may wish to consult your

hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices,

consult the manufacturer of your device to

determine if it is adequately shielded from

external RF energy. Your physician may be able

to assist you in obtaining this information.

Switch off your phone in health care facilities

when any regulations posted in these areas

instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment that could be

sensitive to external RF energy.

141

Health and Safety Information

140

Health and Safety Information

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic systems in

motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or

its representative regarding your vehicle.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Switch off your phone in any facility where

posted notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Switch off your phone when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all

signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas

could cause an explosion or fire resulting in

bodily injury or even death.

Users are advised to switch off the phone while

at a refueling point (service station). Users are

reminded of the need to observe restrictions on

the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel

storage and distribution areas), chemical plants

or where blasting operations are in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere

are often but not always clearly marked. They

include below deck on boats, chemical transfer

or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied

petroleum gas (such as propane or butane),

areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders,

and any other area where you would normally be

advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates

using radio signals, wireless and landline

networks as well as user-programmed functions,

which cannot guarantee connection in all

conditions. Therefore, you should never rely

solely on any wireless phone for essential

communications (medical emergencies, for

example).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the

phone must be switched on and in a service area

with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls

may not be possible on all wireless phone

networks or when certain network services

and/or phone features are in use. Check with

local service providers.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2. Key in the emergency number for your

present location (for example, 999 or any

other official emergency number). Emergency

numbers vary by location.

3. Press the key.

If certain features are in use (call barring, for

example), you may first need to deactivate those

features before you can make an emergency

call. Consult this document and your local

cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to

give all the necessary information as accurately

as possible. Remember that your phone may be

the only means of communication at the scene

of an accident; do not cut off the call until given

permission to do so.

Health and Safety Information

Other Important Safety

Information

• Only qualified personnel should service the

phone or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty

installation or service may be dangerous and

may invalidate any warranty applicable to the

device.

• Check regularly that all wireless phone

equipment in your vehicle is mounted and

operating properly.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases

or explosive materials in the same

compartment as the phone, its parts or

accessories.

• For vehicles equipped with an air bag,

remember that an air bag inflates with great

force. Do not place objects, including both

installed or portable wireless equipment in the

area over the air bag or in the air bag

deployment area. If wireless equipment is

improperly installed and the air bag inflates,

serious injury could result.

• Switch off your phone before boarding an

aircraft. The use of wireless phones in aircraft

may be dangerous to the operation of the

aircraft, and is illegal.

• Failure to observe these instructions may lead

to the suspension or denial of telephone

services to the offender, or legal action, or

both.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and

craftsmanship and should be treated with care.

The suggestions below will help you fulfill any

warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this

product for many years.

• Keep the phone and all its parts and

accessories out of the reach of small children’s.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity

and liquids contain minerals that will corrode

electronic circuits.

• Do not touch the phone with wet hands while

it is charging. Doing so may give you an

electric shock or damage the phone.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty

areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
