Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive
reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
t719.book Page 113 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
114
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by
the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to
comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations
in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 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.
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 exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model phone are
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. For
body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with
an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this
model phone as reported to the FCC are:
•Head: 0.?? W/Kg.
•Body-worn: 0.?? W/Kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. To
find information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number which
is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the
battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular
phone. Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Questions and Answers for
consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication
includes the following information:
t719.book Page 114 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 115
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called
"cell," "mobile," or "PCS" phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user's head. These
RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's
RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the 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 thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using
wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit
very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing
those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that
is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless
phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
•Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless
phones;
•Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not
necessary for device function; and
•Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on human health.
t719.book Page 115 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
116
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for
different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
•National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
•Environmental Protection Agency
•Federal Communications Commission
•Occupational Safety and Health Administration
•National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines
that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless
phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base
stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people
get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from
wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this
document.
What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws
in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF
could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that
showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated
with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure.
Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to
the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the
results of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the
studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain
cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or
other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from
wireless phones RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
t719.book Page 116 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 117
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless
phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable
proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly
applicable to human populations, but ten or more years' follow-up may be needed to provide answers
about some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure
to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The
interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure
during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at
which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the
world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about
the effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization international Electromagnetic
Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has been the
development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research
programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides
the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The
initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research
developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from
my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probably very
small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure
a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
•If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more
distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone
away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned
about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and
teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of
wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from
using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using
a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone
use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF
emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason
to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the
phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand,
if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body
will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety
requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.

Section 13: Health and Safety Information 119
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation
work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason
to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve
nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike "hand-free" kits, these so-called "shields" may interfere with
proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to
an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two
companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making
false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to
substantiate their claim.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this
reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of
implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part
of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI).
The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was
completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop
a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This
standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a compatible hearing aid
at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other medical
devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the
interference and work to resolve the problem.

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 additional layer of convenience
and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available
today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless phone
without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic
can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility,
driving safely.
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.

Operating Environment
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people
you are talking with aware 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 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in
progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal,
a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special non-emergency number.

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your phone off
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 if you are using an
external antenna).
Using Your Phone Near Other 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.
t719.book Page 121 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
122
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
•should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants),
users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist
hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones
have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated
phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing
device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.

Section 13: Health and Safety Information 123
Potentially Explosive Environments
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.
Posted Facilities
Switch your phone off 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 refueling point (service station). Users are reminded
of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include
below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks as
well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (medical emergencies,
for example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a service area with
adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when
certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.
t719.book Page 123 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
124
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or 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.
Restricting Children's access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they could hurt themselves
and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
FCC Notice and Cautions
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC
can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire
Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your
warranty for this equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved
batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void
the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.

Other Important Safety Information
Other Important Safety Information
•Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to the
device.
•Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
properly.
•Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the phone, its parts or accessories.
•For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force. Do
not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
•Switch your phone off before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless phone in aircraft is
illegal and may be dangerous to the aircraft's operation.
•Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of telephone
services to the offender, or legal action, or both.
Product Performance
Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone
informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon.
The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.
If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is
automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can
check it yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found,
your phone returns to standby mode.
t719.book Page 125 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
126
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's turned on, it receives and transmits
radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power
level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories.
Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory
service.
•If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold the phone with the antenna raised,
fully-extended and over your shoulder.
•Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if applicable.
•Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
•If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna, obstructing the internal antenna could
inhibit call performance.
•Speak directly into the phone's receiver.
•Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet,
immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care
for service.
Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones
Many services and features are network dependent and may require additional subscription and/or
usage charges. Not all features are available for purchase or use in all areas. Downloadable Ring Tones
may be available at an additional cost. Other conditions and restrictions may apply. See your service
provider for additional information.
Battery Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery power
consumption depends on factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating
temperature, features selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage
patterns.
t719.book Page 126 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM

Battery Precautions
Battery Precautions
•Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause
damage to the phone and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it to a
service center for inspection.
•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.
•Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the user’s guide.
•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.
•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.
•Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some Web sites and second-hand
dealers, not associated with reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be selling
incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and chargers. Consumers should purchase
manufacturer or carrier recommended products and accessories. If unsure about whether a
replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or
charger.
•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 place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or near a cooking surface,
cooking appliance, iron, or radiator.
t719.book Page 127 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
128
•Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry and appear to operate
normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.
•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.
•Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with metal objects, such as coins,
keys or jewelry.
•Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as this can cause an
internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
•Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some areas, the disposal of
batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion
batteries, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.
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 will 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.
t719.book Page 128 Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:53 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 129
Care and Maintenance
•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.
•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.
•If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized 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.

Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure
limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from
the recommendations of two expert organizations, the
National Counsel on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government,
and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of
1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure
limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
t609.book Page 164 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 165
Health and Safety Information
Section 12
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted 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.
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 exposure limit established by the
FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC. For body worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The maximum SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are:
t609.book Page 165 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
166
• Head: 0.?? W/Kg.
• Body-worn: 0.?? W/Kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be
viewed on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. To find
information that pertains to a particular model phone,
this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is usually
printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes
it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the
number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a
particular phone, follow the instructions on the website
and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular phone. Additional product specific SAR
information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/
sar.
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
published a series of Questions and Answers for
consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure
from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the
following information:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless
phones with built-in antennas, often called "cell,"
"mobile," or "PCS" phones. These types of wireless phones
can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy
(RF) because of the short distance between the phone and
the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal
Communications Commission safety guidelines that
were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal
health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at
t609.book Page 166 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 167
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
Section 12
greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the
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 thus
produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance
limits.
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using wireless
phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones
are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF
when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level
RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects may
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases, other researchers have
had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs
t609.book Page 167 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
168
or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to
take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio
frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the
user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers
of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and
to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the
following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function;
and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use
on human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the
federal level. The following agencies belong to this
working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
t609.book Page 168 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 169
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
Section 12
The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must
comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies
for safety questions about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless
phone networks rely upon. While these base stations
operate at higher power than do the wireless phones
themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than
those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are
thus not the primary subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.
What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting
results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in
their research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded
conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other
laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals. However,
many of the studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had been genetically
engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as
to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF
exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up
t609.book Page 169 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
170
to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the
conditions under which people use wireless phones, so
we don't know with certainty what the results of such
studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published
since December 2000. Between them, the studies
investigated any possible association between the use of
wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or
salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the
studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health
effects from wireless phones RF exposures. However,
none of the studies can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure
from wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological
studies of people actually using wireless phones would
provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal
exposure studies could be completed in a few years.
However, very large numbers of animals would be
needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide
data that is directly applicable to human populations, but
ten or more years' follow-up may be needed to provide
answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between the time of exposure to a
cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if
they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in
t609.book Page 170 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 171
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
Section 12
measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of
wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,
such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which
model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of investigators around the
world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the
effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health
Organization international Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of
this work has been the development of a detailed agenda
of research needs that has driven the establishment of new
research programs around the world. The Project has also
helped develop a series of public information documents
on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,
industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded
research is conducted through contracts to independent
investigators. The initial research will include both
laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.
The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of
additional research needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio
frequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we
do not know that there is - it is probably very small. But if
you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks,
you can take a few simple steps to minimize your
exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone
will reduce RF exposure.
• If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place more distance between your body
and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or
use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF
exposure from these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF), the measures described above would apply
to children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing
the distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure.
t609.book Page 172 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 173
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
Section 12
Some groups sponsored by other national governments
have advised that children be discouraged from using
wireless phones at all. For example, the government in
the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such
a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit
wireless phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce
risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF
emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to
believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits
can be used with wireless phones for convenience and
comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF
energy in the head because the phone, which is the source
of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head.
On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the
waist or other part of the body during use, then that part
of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones
marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety
requirements regardless of whether they are used against
the head or against the body. Either configuration should
result in compliance with the safety limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield
the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF
emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to
t609.book Page 173 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
174
believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from
those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to
shield the user from RF absorption use special phone
cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic
accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that
these products generally do not work as advertised.
Unlike "hand-free" kits, these so-called "shields" may
interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone
may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading
to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the
Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies
that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone
users from radiation with making false and
unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these
defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their
claim.
What about wireless phone interference with
medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason,
FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones.
This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by
the Association for the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by
FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other
groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will
allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA
has tested wireless phones and helped develop a
t609.book Page 174 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 175
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
Section 12
voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance requirements for
hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference
occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a
compatible hearing aid at the same time. This standard
was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other medical devices. Should
harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct
testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the
problem.

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 additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able
to access your wireless phone without removing your
eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and
even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
t609.book Page 176 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 177
Road Safety
Section 12
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping through
your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
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 people you are talking
with aware 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 9-1-1 or
other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free
call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If
you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other
serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1
or other local emergency number, as you would want
others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see
a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a
broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no
t609.book Page 177 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
178
one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen,
call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency
number.

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in
any area and always switch your phone off 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 if you are using an external antenna).
Using Your Phone Near Other 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
t609.book Page 178 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 179
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Section 12
from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from
their pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings
for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device
users in finding phones that may be compatible with their
t609.book Page 179 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
180
hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones
that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the
box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss.
If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: P ho ne s r at ed T 3 o r T 4 mee t F CC req ui rem en ts
and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s
telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated
phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note
that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to
this type of interference. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help
you find results for your hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from mobile phones.
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
t609.book Page 180 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 181
Potentially Explosive Environments
Section 12
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.
Posted Facilities
Switch your phone off 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
refueling point (service station). Users are reminded of
the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often
but not always clearly marked. They include below deck
on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
t609.book Page 181 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
182
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user-
programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never
rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all
wireless phone networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check with
local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present location
(for example, 911 or 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.

the call until given permission to do so.
Restricting Children's access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed
to play with it because they could hurt themselves and
others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your
phone bill.
FCC Notice and Cautions
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in
close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can
require you to stop using the phone if such interference
cannot be eliminated.

or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact
the National Fire Protection Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication
Sales Division.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not
expressly approved in this document could void your
warranty for this equipment, and void your authority to
operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized
t609.book Page 183 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
184
accessories may be dangerous and void the phone
warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to
the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece
of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,
bending or sitting on it.
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 phone in aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to
the aircraft's operation.

Product Performance
Section 12
Product Performance
Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on
the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you
of the current signal strength by displaying a number of
bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal.
If you're inside a building, being near a window may give
you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically
activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks
service availability or you can check it yourself by
pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message
displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your
phone returns to standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it's turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital
mode.
t609.book Page 185 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
186
Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories.
Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory
service.
• If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold the
phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your
shoulder.
• Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if applicable.
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
• If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna, obstructing
the internal antenna could inhibit call performance.
• Speak directly into the phone's receiver.
• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid
spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power
off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer
Care for service.
Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones
Many services and features are network dependent and
may require additional subscription and/or usage
charges. Not all features are available for purchase or use
in all areas. Downloadable Ring Tones may be available at
an additional cost. Other conditions and restrictions may
apply. See your service provider for additional
information.

Section 12: Health and Safety Information 187
Battery Standby and Talk Time
Section 12
Battery Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone
usage patterns and conditions. Battery power
consumption depends on factors such as network
configuration, signal strength, operating temperature,
features selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and
other application usage patterns.
Battery Precautions
• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a hard
surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone and
battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it
to a service center for inspection.
• 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.
• Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in
the user’s guide.
• 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.
• 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.
t609.book Page 187 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
188
• Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers.
Some Web sites and second-hand dealers, not associated with
reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be selling
incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and chargers.
Consumers should purchase manufacturer or carrier
recommended products and accessories. If unsure about
whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible,
contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.
• 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 place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as
on or near a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or
radiator.
• Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry
and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly
corrode and pose a safety hazard.
• 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.
• Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with
metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.
• Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the
battery as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in
overheating.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or
business trash may be prohibited. For safe disposal options for
t609.book Page 188 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12: Health and Safety Information 189
Care and Maintenance
Section 12
Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Samsung authorized
service center. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a
fire.
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 will 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.
• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's moving
parts and prevent proper operation.
t609.book Page 189 Saturday, December 3, 2005 12:34 PM
Section 12
190
• 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.
• If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, use only the
supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
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.
