Safety precautions 45
Electronic devices in a motor vehicle may malfunction due to the radio frequency of your device
Electronic devices in your car may malfunction due to radio frequency of your device. Contact the manufacturer for more
information.
Comply with all safety warnings and regulations regarding mobile device
usage while operating a vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your rst responsibility. Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is
prohibited by law. For your safety and the safety of others, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
Use a hands-free device.
•
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and redial. These features help you reduce the •
time needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device without removing your eyes from the road.
•
If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend calls in heavy trac or hazardous weather
•
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy trac can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or ipping through your address book takes
•
attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the trac. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into trac. Try to plan calls
•
when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors,
then continue.
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.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case of re, trac accident, or medical
•
emergencies.
Safety precautions
46
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, a crime in progress, or a serious emergency •
where lives are in danger, call a local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down
•
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken trac signal, a minor trac accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or another special, non-emergency number.

Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten battery life.•
Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.•
Safety precautions
48
Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.•
Use batteries only for their intended purposes.•
Use manufacturer-approved batteries, chargers, accessories and supplies
Using generic batteries or chargers may shorten the life of your device or cause the device to malfunction.•
Samsung cannot be responsible for the user’s safety when using accessories or supplies that are not approved by •
Samsung.
Do not bite or suck on the device or the battery
Doing so may damage the device or cause explosion.•

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless device 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
engineering experts drawn from industry, government,
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless devices 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 recommended operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the GALAXY
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
of the GALAXY while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the GALAXY 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 device is available for sale to the
it does not exceed the exposure limit established by
the FCC. Tests for each model GALAXY are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. near the body) as required
by the FCC.
Health and safety information
For typical operations, this model GALAXY has been
tested and meets the FCC exposure guidelines.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result
in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this and other model GALAXYs can
be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/.
This site uses the FCC ID number A3LSHWM185S.
You can check the FCC ID on the rear case.
Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular GALAXY,
follow the instructions on the website and it should
provide values for typical or maximum SAR for
a particular GALAXY
SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/
cgb/sar.
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in
any area and always switch your GALAXY
forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or
danger. When connecting the GALAXY or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety
instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
