Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach of small children or animals.
Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure to 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 the m inim um volum e set t ing necessary to hear your conversat 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.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
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.

Ex posure t o Ra dio Fr eque ncy ( RF) Sign als
Cer t ifica t ion I nfor m at ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t ransm it t er and receiver. I t is designed and
m anufact ured not t o exceed t he exposure lim its for radio frequency ( RF)
energy set by the Federal Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S.
governm ent . These FCC exposure lim it s are derived from the
recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizat ions, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiat ion Protect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and the I nst itute of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endat ions w ere developed by scient ific and engineering expert s
draw n from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia aft er ext ensive reviews
of t he scient ific lit erature relat ed t o t he 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 the rat e of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in unit s of w at ts per kilogr am ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones t o com ply w it h a safet y lim it of 1.6 watt s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporates a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y to give additional protect ion t o t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ents.
SAR test s are conducted using standard operat ing posit ions accept ed by
the FCC wit h t he phone t ransm it t ing at it s highest cert ified power level in
all t ested frequency bands. Although t he SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
cert ified power level, t he actual SAR level of t he phone while operating
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because t he phone is
designed t o operate at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required to reach the net work. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base st at ion ant enna, the lower t he power output .
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o the public, it m ust be
test ed and cert ified t o t he FCC t hat it does not exceed t he exposure lim it
est ablished by the FCC. Test s for each m odel phone are perform ed in
posit ions and locat ions ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on t he body) as required
by t he FCC.
For body worn operat ion, this m odel phone has been t est ed and m eet s
the FCC RF exposur e guidelines when used wit h a Sam sung accessory
designated for t his product or when used with an accessory t hat contains
no m etal and t hat positions t he handset a m inim um of 1.5 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 infor m ation on this 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, A3LSGHS275G. Som et im es it m ay be necessary to rem ove t he
bat t ery pack t o find t he num ber. Once you have the FCC I D num ber for a
part icular phone, follow the inst ruct ions on t he websit e and it should
provide values for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a part icular phone.

Consum er I nfor m at ion on W ir eless Phon es
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist rat 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 publication includes the
following inform at ion:
W hat k inds of phone s ar e t he subj ect of t his upda t e?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand-held w ireless phones with
built -in ant ennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose the user t o m easurable radio
frequency energy (RF) because of the short dist ance 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 wit h
the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the
phone is located at great er dist ances fr om the user, the exposure t o RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing dist ance from the source. The so-called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected t o t he t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin the FCC's com pliance lim it s.
Do w ir eless phon es pose a hea lth h a za rd?
The available scient ific evidence does not show that any healt h problem s
are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that wir 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 effects ( by heat ing t issue) , exposur e
to low level RF t hat does not produce heat ing effect s causes no known
adverse health effects. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. 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, other researchers have had
difficult y in reproducing t hose st udies, or in determ ining the reasons for
inconsistent results.
W hat is FDA's role concer ning t he sa fe t y of w ire less phones?
Under t he law, FDA does not r eview t he safet y of r adiat ion-em it t ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut horit y to t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown to em it radio
frequency energy (RF) at a level that 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 t he hazard no longer exist s.
Although 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 indust ry to t ake a num ber of st eps,
including t he following:
“ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
the type em itt ed by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way that m inim izes any RF exposure
to the 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 ation on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies t hat
have responsibility for different aspect s of RF safet y t o ensure coordinat ed
effort s at t he federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working
group:
“ National I nst it ute for Occupat ional Safet y and Health
“ Envir onm ent al Pr ot ection Agency
“ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
“ Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h Adm inist rat ion
“ National Telecom m unications and I nfor m ation Adm inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nst itut es of Health par ticipates in som e int er agency working
group activit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless phones with t he Federal
Com m unications Com m ission ( FCC). All phones that are sold in t he Unit ed
St at es m ust com ply wit h FCC safety guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and ot her health agencies for safet y quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates t he base stat ions t hat the wireless phone net works
rely upon. While t hese base st ations operate at higher pow er t han do t he
wireless phones t hem selves, the RF exposures t hat people get from these
base st at ions are t ypically t housands of tim es lower than t hose t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not t he prim ary subj ect
of t he safet y questions discussed in this docum ent .
W ha t ar e t he re su lt s of t he re sea r ch don e alr ea dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing results, and m any
studies have suffered from flaw s in their research m et hods. Anim al
experim ent s invest igat ing t he effect s of radio fr equency energy ( RF)
exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
results t hat often cannot be repeat ed in ot her laboratories. 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 treated wit h cancer-causing chem icals so
as to 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 to the conditions 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 , t he st udies invest igated any possible associat ion
bet ween 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 the studies dem onst rat ed t he
exist ence of any har m ful health effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answ er quest ions about
long-t erm exposures, since the average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around three years.
W hat r esear ch is needed t o decide w het he r RF e xposu re fr om
w ire less phones poses a hea lt h risk ?
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 the dat a t hat are
needed. Lifetim e anim al exposure st udies 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 oting effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is direct ly applicable t o
hum an populations, but ten or m ore years' follow-up m ay be needed to
provide answers about som e healt h effects, such as cancer. This is
because the int erval between the tim e of exposure t o 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 inter pret at ion of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by
difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day-t o-day use of
wireless phones. Many fact or s affect t his m easurem ent, such as the angle
at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W hat is FDA 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 wor king w it h the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigat ors around the world to ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed 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 participant in the World Healt h Organizat ion
int ernat ional Electrom agnetic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since its inception in
1996. An influent ial result of t his work has been the developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven the est ablishm ent of
new research program s around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public inform at ion docum ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nternet Association ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperative Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o
do resear ch on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scient ific
oversight , obtaining input from expert s in governm ent , indust ry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A-funded research is conduct ed through
cont ract s t o independent invest igat ors. The init ial resear ch will include
bot h laborator y 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
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ent s around the w orld.
W ha t st eps can I t a ke t o reduce m y exposur e to ra dio fr equency
energy from m y w ireless phone?
I f t here is a risk from t hese product s - and at t his point we do not know
that t here is - it is pr obably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even pot ential r isks, you can t ake a few sim ple st eps to m inim ize
your exposure t o r adio frequency energy ( RF) . Since tim e is a key factor
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 conversat ions by wireless phone
every day, you could place m or e 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 t he 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 t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W hat a bout childr en using w ireless phones?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o take st eps t o
lower exposure t o radio frequency energy (RF), t he m easures described
above would apply t o children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing t he t im e of wireless phone use and increasing the distance
bet ween the user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsor ed by other national governm ents have advised t hat
childr en be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ributed leaflets containing such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They noted that no evidence exists
that using a wireless phone causes brain tum ors or other ill effect s. Their
recom m endation t o lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scientific evidence t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do ha nds-fr ee k it s for w ir eless phones reduce risk s fr om e xposur e
t o RF em issions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands-free kits reduce
risks. Hands-free kit s can be used wit h wireless phones for convenience
and com fort. These system s reduce t he absorpt ion of RF energy in t he
head because t he phone, which is the sour ce of t he RF em issions, will not
be placed against t he head. On the other hand, if t he phone is m ounted
against t he waist or ot her part of t he body during use, t hen t hat part of
the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m ar ket ed in t he
U.S. are required to m eet safety requirem ents regardless of whether they
are used against the head or against t he body. Eit her configurat ion should
result in com pliance wit h t he safet y lim it .
Do w ir eless phon e accessories t ha t cla im t o sh ie ld t he hea d fr om
RF ra diat ion w ork ?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe t hat accessories t hat claim
to shield the head from those em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
claim t o 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 at t ached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown that these product s generally 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 it s
power t o com pensate, 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 to protect wireless phone users
from radiat ion with m aking false and unsubst antiat ed claim s. According to
FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis t o substant iate t heir
claim .
W hat a bout w ire less phon e int er fe re nce w it h m edical equipm ent ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can interact wit h som e
electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed t est
m ethod t o m easure elect rom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im planted
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors fr om wireless t elephones. This test
m ethod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Associat ion for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum entation (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 late 2000. This standard will allow m anufact urers to
ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has t ested wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary standard sponsored by t he I nst it ute of Electrical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance
requirem ents for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference
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 was approved by t he I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues t o m onit or t he use of wir eless phones for possible
int eract ions w it h other m edical dev ices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct test ing t o assess t he interference and
work to resolve the problem .

Road Safet y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y t o com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibility
accom panies the benefit s of wireless phones, one that every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibilit y. When using your
wireless phone behind t he wheel of a car , pract ice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he 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 wit hout taking your at tention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. I f possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety t o your wireless phone
wit h one of t he m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from t he road. I f
you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient t im e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let t he person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy traffic or hazardous weat her
conditions. Rain, sleet , snow , ice and even heavy t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone num ber s while driv ing. Jot ting
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes
at tention aw ay fr om your pr im ary responsibility, driv ing 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 t raffic. Tr y 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 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 ar e talking wit h awar e you are driving
and suspend conversat ions that have t he potent ial t o divert your
attent ion from the r oad.
8. Use your wireless phone t o 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 aut o accident , crim e in progress or other serious em ergency
where lives are in danger, call 9- 1- 1 or other local em ergency
num ber, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assist ance or a special non-em ergency wireless
assistance num ber when necessary. I f you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a brok en traffic signal, a m inor
traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you
