Health and Safety

Information

Exposure to Radio-Frequency Energy

(SAR Information)

This phone meets European Union (EU)

requirements concerning exposure to radio waves.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed and manufactured so as not

to exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency

(RF) energy, as recommended by the EU Council.

These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines

and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the

general population. The guidelines were developed

by independent scientific organisations through the

periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific

studies. The limits include a substantial safety

margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,

regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs

a unit of measurement known as SAR (Specific

Absorption Rate). The SAR limit recommended by

the EU Council is 2.0W/kg.

* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0

watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body

tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to

give additional protection for the public and to account for

any variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary

depending on national reporting requirements and the

network band.

154

Health and Safety

Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the

emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)

energy set by the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) 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 that were

developed by independent scientific organizations

through periodic and through evaluation of scientific

studies.

The standards include a substantial safety margin

designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless

of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a

unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption

Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set 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.

HHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn

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 operating 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

wireless base station antenna, the lower the power

output of the phone.

Before a new model phone 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. While there may be

differences between the SAR levels of various

phones and at various positions, they all meet the

government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for

this model phone with all reported SAR levels

evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure

guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on

file with the FCC and can be found under the Display

Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after

searching on FCC ID printed in the label on the phone.

FCC certification information for this model phone is

attached separation paper.

For Body Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations

with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm from the body.

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,

use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that

maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user's

body and the back of the phone,including the antenna.

The use of belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories

should not contain metallic components. The use of accessories

that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with

For more Information concerning exposure to radio

frequency signals, see the following websites:

FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

Health and Safety Information

157

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating

positions 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 operating 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 model phone is available for sale to

the public, compliance with the European R&TTE

Directive must be shown. This directive includes as

one of its essential requirements the protection of

the health and safety of the user and any other

person.

Precautions When Using Batteries

•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

(talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter

than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

Health and Safety Information

158

• 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.

• 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 lifetime 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 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-circuiting.

•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.

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

160

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 an

emergency number in 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 an emergency number,

as you would want others to do for you.

10. 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

161

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.

Health and Safety Information

162

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

minimise potential interference

If you have any reason to suspect that interference

is taking place, switch your phone off 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 your phone off

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.

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.

Health and Safety Information

163

Posted Facilities

Switch off your phone in any facility where posted

notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Environments

Switch your phone off 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 the phone off while at a

refuelling 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.

Health and Safety Information

164

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, proceed as follows.

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

2. Key in the emergency number for your present

location (for example, 112 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

165

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 your phone off 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.

Health and Safety Information

166

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.

•Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and

liquids contain minerals that corrode electronic

circuits.

• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so

may cause an electric shock to you or damage to

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

devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt

certain plastics.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the

phone warms up to its normal operating

temperature, moisture can form inside the

phone, which may damage the phone’s electronic

circuit boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough

handling can break internal circuit boards.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or

strong detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it

with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild

soap-and-water solution.

Health and Safety Information

167

•Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the

device’s moving parts and prevent proper

operation.

•Do not put the phone in or on heating devices,

such as a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator.

The phone may explode when overheated.

• Use only the supplied or an approved

replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennas or

modified accessories may damage the phone and

violate regulations governing radio devices.

•If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is

not working properly, take it to your nearest

qualified service facility. The personnel there will

assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.

is called a MIDlet.

MMS (Multimedia Message Service)

A message service for the mobile environment,

standardized by the WAP Forum and the 3rd

Generation Partnership Program (3GPP). For phone

users, MMS is similar to Short Message Service

(SMS)-it provides automatic, immediate delivery of

user-created content from phone to phone. The

message addressing used is primarily phone

numbers, thus the traffic goes from phone to

phone. MMS also provides support for e-mail

addressing, so that messages can be sent by

e-mail. In addition to the text content of SMS, MMS

messages can contain still images, voice or audio

clips, and also video clips and presentation

information.
