your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries
or damage to your phone.
z Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when disposing used batteries or phones.
z Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave
ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
z 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

battery life.
z Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.
z Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
z Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care
z 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.
z Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from
other devices.
z Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards.
z 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 posur e t o Radio Fr equ ency ( RF) Signa ls
Cer t ificat ion I nform ation ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transm it ter 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 it s are derived from t he
recom m endations of t wo expert organizat ions, t he National Counsel on
Radiation Prot ect 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 were developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia after ext ensive reviews
of t he scient ific lit erature related to 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 known as the Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR). The
SAR is a m easure of t he rat e of absorption of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in units of wat t s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones to com ply wit h a safety lim it of 1.6 watts per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y to give additional protect ion t o t he public and to account for any
variat ions in m easurem ents.
SAR test s are conduct ed using st andard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with t he phone t ransm it t ing at its highest certified 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 act ual SAR level of the 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 the power
required to reach t he network. I n general, t he closer you are to a wireless
base stat ion ant enna, t he lower the power output .
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o t he 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
positions and locations ( e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by t he FCC.
For body worn operation, this m odel phone has been t est ed and m eets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with 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 the handset a m inim um of 1.0 cm from the
body.
Non- com pliance with the above restrictions m ay result in violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform ation on this and ot her m odel phones can be viewed on- line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the phone FCC I D num ber for
search, A3LSGHT699. Som etim es it m ay be necessary t o rem ove the
batt ery pack to find the num ber. Once you have t he FCC I D num ber for a
part icular phone, follow t he inst ruct ions on the websit e and it should
provide values for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a part icular phone.

Consum er I nform at ion on W ireless Phone s
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist ration ( FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relating t o radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes t he
following inform at ion:
W hat kinds of phones a re t he subj e ct of t his upda t e ?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones with
built-in antennas, often 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 ited by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safet y guidelines that were developed with
the advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is located at greater dist ances from t he user, the exposure t o RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing distance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim its.
Do w ire less phone s pose a he alt h haza rd?
The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any health problem s
are associat ed with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that wireless phones are absolutely 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 the stand- by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effect s ( by heating t issue) , exposure
to low level RF that does not produce heat ing effect s causes no known
adverse health effect s. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e studies have suggest ed t hat som e
biological effect s m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed
by additional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing t hose studies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for
inconsistent results.
W hat is FDA's r ole concerning the sa fet y of w ire less phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safet y of radiat ion- em itting
consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey 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 the m anufact urers of wireless phones to not ify
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 the existing scientific 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:
z “ Support needed research into possible biological effect s of RF of
the type em it t ed by wireless phones;
z “ 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
z “ Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with t he best
possible inform ation on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an healt h.
FDA belongs to an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies that
have responsibilit y for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to t his working
group:
z “ National I nst itut e for Occupat ional Safety and Healt h
z “ Environm ent al Protect ion Agency
z “ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
z “ Occupat ional Safet y and Health Adm inist ration
z “ National Telecom m unications and I nform ation Adm inistration
The National I nst itut es of Health part icipat es in som e int eragency working
group act ivities, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilities for wireless phones with t he Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC). All phones t hat are sold in t he United
St ates m ust com ply with FCC safet y guidelines that lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safet y quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es the base stat ions t hat t he wireless phone networks
rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operat e at higher power t han do the
wireless phones them selves, t he RF exposures that people get from t hese
base stat ions are typically thousands of tim es lower than those t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base st ations are t hus not the prim ary subj ect
of t he safet y quest ions discussed in this docum ent .
W hat are t he r esult s of t he r esear ch done a lr eady?
The research done thus 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 ents invest igat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures charact eristic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
results t hat often cannot be repeat ed in other 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 the
studies t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer- causing chem icals so
as to be pre- disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other
studies exposed the anim als to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not sim ilar t o t he conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h cert ainty what the results of such
studies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber
2000. Between t hem , the st udies investigat ed any possible associat ion
bet ween t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, tum ors of t he brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he st udies dem onst rated the
existence of any harm ful health effect s from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer questions about
long- t erm exposures, since the average period of phone use in t hese
studies was around three years.
W hat research is nee ded to de cide w he t her RF e xposure from
w ireless phones poses a he a lt h risk?
A com binat ion of laboratory st udies and epidem iological studies 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 studies 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 exists.
Epidem iological studies can provide data t hat is direct ly applicable t o
hum an populations, but ten or m ore years' follow- up m ay be needed t o
provide answers about som e health effect s, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between t he tim e of exposure to a cancer- causing
agent and t he tim e tum ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The interpret ation of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by
difficulties in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day-to-day use of
wireless phones. Many fact ors affect this m easurem ent, such as the angle
at which the phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W hat is FDA doing t o find out m or e about t he possible he a lt h
effe ct s of w ire less phone RF?
FDA is working with t he U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of invest igators around the world to ensure that high priority
anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im portant questions about t he
effect s of exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading participant in t he World Health Organizat ion
international Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Project since its inception in
1996. An influential result of t his work has been t he developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven t he est ablishm ent of
new research program s around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public inform ation docum ents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nt ernet Association ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperative Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scient ific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in governm ent, industry, and
academ ic organizations. CTI A- funded research is conducted through
cont ract s t o independent invest igators. The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of additional research needs in t he
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ents around t he world.
W hat st eps can I take t o reduce m y e xposure t o radio fre quency
energy fr om m y w irele ss phone?
I f there is a risk from t hese product s - and at this point we do not know
that t here is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, you can t ake a few sim ple steps t o m inim ize
your exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) . Since t im e is a key factor
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing t he am ount of tim e
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
z “ 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 t he RF, since the exposure level drops off
dram atically with distance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry t he wireless phone away from your body.
Again, t he scientific dat a do not dem onstrate that wireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure from t hese
product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W hat about childre n u sing w ireless phone s?
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
lower exposure to radio frequency energy ( RF) , the m easures described
above would apply t o children and t eenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing t he tim e of wireless phone use and increasing the dist ance
bet ween t he user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by other national governm ent s have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in the United Kingdom distribut ed leaflets containing such
a recom m endation 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 rictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exist s.
Do ha nds- fr ee k its for w ir eless phones r educe risk s fr om ex posure
t o RF em issions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason t o believe t hat hands- free kits reduce
risks. Hands-free kit s can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These syst em s reduce the absorpt ion of RF energy in t he
head because the phone, which is the source of t he RF em issions, will not
be placed against t he head. On the other hand, if the phone is m ount ed
against the 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 arket ed in t he
U.S. are required to m eet safet y requirem ents regardless of whet her they
are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configurat ion should
result in com pliance with t he safet y lim it.
Do w ire le ss phone a ccessorie s tha t claim t o shield t he he ad from
RF radiat ion w or k ?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF em issions from
wireless phones, there is no reason t o believe t hat accessories t hat claim
to shield t he head from those 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
others involve not hing m ore than a m etallic accessory att ached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat these products generally do not work as
advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kits, t hese so- called “ shields” m ay int erfere
with proper operation of the phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost its
power to com pensat e, leading t o 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 that claim ed to protect wireless phone users
from radiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubstantiat ed claim s. According t o
FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis t o subst ant iat e their
claim .
W hat about w ire less phone int erfe rence w ith m e dica l equipm ent ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can interact with som e
elect ronic devices. For t his reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed test
m et hod to m easure elect rom agnetic interference (EMI ) of im planted
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillators from wireless t elephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a standard sponsored by t he Association for t he
Advancem ent of Medical inst rum entat ion ( AAMI ) . The final draft, a joint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any other groups,
was com plet ed 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 test ed wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary st andard sponsored by t he I nst it ut e of Elect rical and Elect ronic
Engineers ( I EEE). This standard 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 patible hearing
aid at the sam e tim e. This standard was approved by the I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues t o m onitor t he use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct test ing to assess t he interference and
work t o resolve t he problem .

Roa d Sa fe t 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 portant responsibilit y
accom panies t he 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, practice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he following t ips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and it s features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, these feat ures help you t o place your
call without t aking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safet y to your wireless phone
with one of t he m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone without rem oving your eyes from the 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 wit h know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weat her
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not t ake not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jot t ing
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book takes
at t ent 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 t raffic. Try t o plan calls
when your car will be st ationary. 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 otional conversations that m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are t alking wit h aware you are driving
and suspend conversations that have t he potential t o divert your
at t ent ion from the road.
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 others 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 ot hers t o do for you.
10. Call roadside assist ance or a special non- em ergency wireless
assist ance num ber when necessary. I f you see a broken- down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken t raffic signal, a m inor
traffic accident where no one appears inj ured, or a vehicle you
know to be st olen, call roadside assist ance or other special non-
em ergency num ber.
