These safety precautions should be followed to safety use your phone.x497.book  Page 149  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
150Section 13Health and Safety InformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsCertification 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.  x497.book  Page 150  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 151Health and Safety InformationSection 13SAR 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.  Body-worn operations are restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved, or non-Samsung designated accessories that have no metal and must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna (whether extended or retracted) and the user's body.  Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of 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:x497.book  Page 151  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
152Section 13• Head: 0.646 W/Kg.• Body-worn: 0.311 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(A3LSGHX490) numberfor 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 PhonesThe 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 x497.book  Page 152  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 153Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesSection 13agencies.  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 x497.book  Page 153  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
154Section 13or 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 Administrationx497.book  Page 154  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 155Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesSection 13The 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 x497.book  Page 155  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
156Section 13to 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 x497.book  Page 156  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 157Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesSection 13measuring 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.x497.book  Page 157  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
158Section 13What 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.x497.book  Page 158  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 159Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesSection 13Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using w i r e l e s s  p h o n e s  a t  a l l .   F o r  e x a m p l e ,  t h e  g o v e r n m e n t  i n  t h e  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 x497.book  Page 159  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
160Section 13believe 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 x497.book  Page 160  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 161Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesSection 13voluntary 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.Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from various sources can be obtained from the following organizations:• FCC RF Safety Program:http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):http://www.epa.gov/radiation/• Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA):http://www.osha.slc.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html• National institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH):http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/emfpg.html• World health Organization (WHO):http://www.who.int/peh-emf/• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection:http://www.icnirp.de• National Radiation Protection Board (UK):http://www.nrpb.org.ukx497.book  Page 161  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM

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.x497.book  Page 162  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 163Road SafetySection 135. 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 emergeny 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.

170Section 13• Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or both.Product PerformanceGetting the Most Out of Your Signal ReceptionThe 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 FeatureIf 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 OperatesYour 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.x497.book  Page 170  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 171Availability of Various Features/Ring TonesSection 13Maintaining Your Phone's Peak PerformanceFor 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.• Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your shoulder.• Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna.• Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.• Speak directly into the phone's receiver.• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.

See your service provider for additional information.Battery Standby and Talk TimeStandby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage patterns and conditions.  Battery power x497.book  Page 171  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
172Section 13consumption 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• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.• If you use the phone near the network's base station, it uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).x497.book  Page 172  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
Section 13: Health and Safety Information 173Care and MaintenanceSection 13• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short- circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct connection between the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object causing the short-circuiting.• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. 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 MaintenanceYour 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's.• 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.x497.book  Page 173  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
174Section 13• 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.• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone may explode when overheated.• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. 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.x497.book  Page 174  Wednesday, March 30, 2005  5:22 PM
