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 the earphones int o an audio source and
use only t he m inim um volum e set ting necessary t o 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 equency ( RF) Signals
Cer t ifica t ion I nform 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 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 Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ut e of
Elect rical and Elect r onics Engineers ( I EEE). I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endations wer e developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, governm ent , and academ ia after ext ensive reviews
of the scient ific lit erat ur e 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 know n 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 wat t s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones t o com ply wit h a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat ts per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y t o give addit ional protection t o t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ents.
SAR tests are conduct ed using st andard oper ating posit ions accepted by
the FCC wit h t he phone t ransm it t ing at it s highest cert ified 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 actual SAR lev el of t he phone while operating
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because the phone is
designed t o operate at m ult iple power levels so as to 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, t he lower t he power out put .
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale to t he public, it m ust be
tested and cert ified to t he FCC t hat it does not exceed the 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 w orn on t he body) as required
by the FCC.
For body worn operat ion, t his m odel phone has been t est ed and m eet s
the FCC RF exposur e guidelines whenused with a Sam sung accessory
designat ed for this product or when used with an accessory t hat cont ains
no m etal and t hat positions 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

Consum er I nfor m a t ion on W ir ele ss Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inistr at ion ( FDA) has published a series of
Questions and Answer s for consum ers relat ing to radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes t he
following infor m at ion:
W h at kinds of phones a re t he subj e ct of t his updat e?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wir eless phones wit h
built-in ant ennas, often called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose t he user t o m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of the shor t dist ance between 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 healt h and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is locat ed at greater dist ances from t he user, t he exposure t o RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing distance from the source. The so-called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected to the t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower pow er levels, and thus produce RF
exposures well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim its.
Do w ireless phon es pose a he alt h hazar d?
The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any healt h problem s
are associat ed with using w ireless phones. There is no pr oof, however,
that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels
of radio frequency 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 effect s ( 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 effect s. Som e st udies have suggest ed 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 result s.
W h at is FDA's r ole conce rning t he sa fet y of w ir ele ss phones?
Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safet y of radiat ion-em it t ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it
does w it 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 to t he user. I n such a
case, FDA could require t he m anufact ur ers of w ireless phones t o notify
users of the health hazard and to 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 ust ify FDA regulatory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry t o 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 t ype em itted 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 funct ion; and
“ Cooperate in providing users of wir eless phones wit h t he best
possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an health.
FDA belongs t o an interagency w orking group of t he federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safety t o ensure coordinat ed
effort s at t he federal level. The following agencies belong t o this w orking
group:
“ National I nst it ute for Occupat ional Safety and Healt h
“ Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency
“ Feder al Com m unications Com m ission
“ Occupational Safet y and Healt h Adm inist rat ion
“ National Telecom m unicat ions and I nform ation Adm inistrat ion
The Nat ional I nst itut es of Health par ticipat es in som e int er agency working
group act ivit ies, as w ell.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilit ies for wireless phones w it h 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 with FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other 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 than do t he
wireless phones them selves, the RF exposures t hat people get from these
base stat ions are t ypically t housands of tim es lower than t hose t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base stations are t hus not t he prim ary subject
of t he safety questions discussed in this docum ent .
W ha t a r e t h e r esu lt s of t he rese arch 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 ethods. Anim al
experim ents invest igat ing t he effects of radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures characterist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
result s t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggested t hat low levels of RF could acceler ate
the developm ent of cancer in laboratory anim als. However, m any of t he
studies that showed incr eased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or treat ed wit h cancer-causing chem icals so
as t o be pre-disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other
studies exposed t he anim als to RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions ar e not sim ilar to the conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know w it h certaint y what t he results of such
studies m ean for hum an health.
Three large epidem iology studies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Bet ween them , t he st udies invest igated any possible associat ion
between t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoustic neurom a, t um ors of t he 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 har m ful healt h effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions about
long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around three years.
W ha t r esearch is ne ede d t o decide w he t her RF e x posur e fr om
w ir eless phones pose s a he alt h risk ?
A com binat ion of laboratory studies 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 ot ing effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is directly applicable to
hum an populat ions, but t en or m ore years' follow-up m ay be needed to
provide answers about som e health effect s, such as cancer. This is
because t he int erval bet ween t he tim e of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and t he t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpret 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 ors affect t his m easurem ent, such as t he angle
at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W h at is FDA doing t o find out m or e a bout t he possible hea lt h
effect s of w ir ele ss phone RF?
FDA is w orking w it h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of investigat ors ar ound the world to ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed to address im portant quest ions about the
effect s of exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading participant in t he World Healt h Or ganizat ion
int ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influent ial result of t his work has been t he developm ent of a
detailed agenda of r esearch needs that has driven t he establishm 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 unications & I nt ernet Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperative Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o
do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides t he scientific
oversight , obtaining input from expert s in governm ent , indust ry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A-funded research is conduct ed through
contract s t o independent invest igat ors. The init ial research w ill include
bot h laborat ory 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 ca n I t a ke to reduce m y ex posure t o ra dio fr equency
ene rgy fr om m y w ireless phone?
I f t here 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 pot ent ial risks, you can t ake a few sim ple steps to 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 conversat ions by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore dist ance between your body and
the source of the RF, since t he exposure level drops off
dram at ically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry the 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 dat a do not dem onst rate that wireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure from these
product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W h at about childr en using w ir eless phones?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless
phones, including children and teenagers. I f you want t o t ake steps to
low er exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described
above w ould apply t o children and t eenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing t he tim e of wireless phone use and incr easing t he dist ance
between t he user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by other national governm ents 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 ribut ed leaflets containing such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed t hat no evidence exist s
that using a wireless phone causes brain tum ors or other ill effect s. Their
recom m endation to lim it wireless phone use by children was strict ly
precaut ionary; it was not based on scientific evidence t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do hands-fr ee k it s for w irele ss phones r educe risk s from exposure
t o RF em ission s?
Since t here 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 w it h wir eless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em s reduce t he absorpt ion of RF energy in the
head because t he phone, which is t he source of the RF em issions, w ill 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 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 t o m eet safet y requirem ents regardless of whether t hey
are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configurat ion should
result in com pliance with t he safety lim it.
Do w ireless phon e a cce ssor ies t ha t cla im t o shield t h e he ad fr om
RF r adia t ion w or k?
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 t hat claim
to shield the head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
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 accessor y at tached to t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat t hese products generally do not work as
advert ised. Unlike “ hand-free” kit s, t hese so-called “ shields” m ay int erfere
wit h proper operat ion of the phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost it s
power to com pensat e, leading to an increase in RF absorption. I n
February 2002, t he Federal trade Com m ission ( FTC) charged two
com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed to prot ect wireless phone users
from radiation wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iated claim s. According to
FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis to subst ant iate their
claim .
W h at about w ir eless phon e int e rfer ence w it h m e dical equipm e nt ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can int eract wit h som e
elect ronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed 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 w ireless t elephones. This t est
m ethod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Association 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 pleted in lat e 2000. This st andar d will allow m anufacturers t o
ensure that cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has t est ed wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary standard sponsored by the I nst it ute of Elect rical and Electronic
Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance
requir em ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so that 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 cont inues to m onitor t he use of wir eless phones for possible
int eractions 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 .

Road Sa fet y
Your wireless phone gives you the pow erful ability t o com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anyw here, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibilit y
accom panies the benefit s of wireless phones, one t hat every user m ust
uphold.
When dr iving 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 the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese feat ures help you to place your
call without t aking your att ention 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 w ireless 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 t o 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 t im e, let your voice
m ail answ er it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy traffic or hazardous weat her
condit ions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy tr affic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not t ake not es or look up phone num bers w hile driving. Jot t ing
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes
at tent ion away from your prim ary responsibility, 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 t raffic. Try to plan calls
when your car will be st at ionary. 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 conversat ions t hat m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are talking with awar e you are dr iving
and suspend conversations t hat have t he pot ent ial t o divert your
attent ion from t he road.
8. Use your wir eless 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 you see
an auto accident , crim e in progress or ot her serious em er gency
wher e lives are in danger, call 9- 1- 1 or ot her 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
