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.
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 operations, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC
exposure guidelines when used with
a
Samsung accessory designated
for this
product
or
when used with an
accessory
that
contains
no metal and that
positions
the
handset
a
minimum
1.0 cm
from
the body.
Non-compliance
with the above
restrictions
may result in
violation
of FCC RF
exposure
guidelines.
SAR information
on
this and other model phones can
be
viewed on-line
at
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This
site
uses
the
phone FCC
ID
number A3LSMN9109W.
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 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.
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.
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
increasi
ng 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.
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 ph
one
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.

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.
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.
10Call 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.
“The wireless industry reminds you
to
use your phone safely when driving.”

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

shoulder).
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.
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.
If you have any
reason
to
suspect
that interference
is
taking place, switch
off
your phone
immediately.
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
Aids
Some digital wireless phones
may
interfere
with
some hearing
aids. In the
event
of such
interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss
alternatives.
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

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 the areas below decks 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
ar
e 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
[ ].
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.

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

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
•
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
a
nd
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,
sin
ce
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
℃
(32
℉
).
• 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.

Smart Practices While Driving
On the Road - Off the Phone
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe
operation of his or her vehicle.
DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
205
Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task
should be performed while driving whether it be eating,
drinking, talking to passengers, or talking on a mobile phone
- unless the driver has assessed the driving conditions and is
confident that the secondary task will not interfere with their
primary responsibility.
Do not engage in any activity while
driving a moving vehicle which may cause you to take your
eyes off the road or become so absorbed in the activity that
your ability to concentrate on the act of driving becomes
impaired
. Samsung is committed to promoting responsible
driving and giving drivers the tools they need to understand
and address distractions.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices
and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas. For example, only hands-free use
may be permitted in certain areas.
Before answering calls, consider your circumstances. Let the

relating to your current location, may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data, and circumstances can and do change over
time. In some areas, complete information may not be
available.
Therefore, you should always visually confirm that
the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see
before following them. All users should pay attention to road
conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may
impact safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs.
Emergency Calls
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates
using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, as well
as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions, areas, or circumstances.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless
mobile device for essential communications (medical
emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote or
underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of
contacting emergency services personnel. Remember, to
DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
211
make or receive any calls, the mobile device must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless mobile

so.
Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device 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 your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and
liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic
circuits. If the mobile device does get wet, do not
accelerate drying with the use of an oven, microwave, or
dryer, because this may damage the mobile device and
could cause a fire or explosion.
Do not use the mobile device with a wet hand. Doing so
may cause an electric shock to you or damage to the
mobile device.
DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
Health and Safety Information 212
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C /
113°F.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven.
Doing so may cause a fire or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the mobile device. Wipe it with a soft
cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough
handling can break internal circuit boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the
device’s moving parts or ventilation openings and prevent
proper operation.
Responsible Listening
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss
.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud
sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as
sound is played louder and for longer durations. Prolonged
exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most
common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific
research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as
portable music players and cell phones, at high volume
settings for long durations may lead to permanent
noise-induced hearing loss.
This includes the use of headphones (including headsets,
earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices).
Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in
some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),
hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential
hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound
produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the
nature of the sound, the device settings, and the headphones
DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
213
that are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting
that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of
sound, settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into
an audio source.
•
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest
volume at which you can hear adequately.
•
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time,
not realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to your
hearing.
•
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot
hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to
you can hear what you are listening to.
•
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment,
use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background
environmental noise. By blocking background environment noise,
noise cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music
at lower volumes than when using earbuds.
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less
time is required before you hearing could be affected.
•
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises,
such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss.
Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound
normal.
•
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or
experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your
portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has
established requirements for digital wireless mobile devices
to be compatible with hearing aids and other assistive
hearing devices.
When individuals employing some assistive hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile
devices, they may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining
noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others
to this interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the
amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating
system for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device
users find mobile devices that may be compatible with their
hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated.
Mobile devices that are rated have the rating on their box or
a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending
