67Health and safety informationGetting the Most Out of Your ReceptionKeeping Tabs on Signal StrengthThe 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; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message is displayed 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 radiofrequency (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.Knowing Radio Frequency SafetyThe design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
Health and safety information68In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak PerformanceThere are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.• Speak directly into the mouthpiece.• 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.  Note: For the best care of your phone, only  Sprint authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your PhoneFAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGEUsing Your Phone While DrivingTalking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific
Health and safety information69restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.Note:  Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory HotlineSM at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing #222 on your Sprint PCS Phone.Following Safety GuidelinesTo operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.Note:  Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.Turning Off Your Phone Before FlyingTurn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a
Health and safety information70crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous AreasTo avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remotecontrol RF devices to set off explosives.Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:• Fueling areas such as gas stations.• Below deck on boats.• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.• Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.• Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.Note:  Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.Restricting Children’s Access to Your PhoneYour phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your Sprint PCS Invoice.Caring for the BatteryProtecting Your BatteryThe guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
Health and safety information71• Use only Sprint-approved batteries and battery chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.• In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).• Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.• Never dispose of the battery by incineration.• Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.• Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.• The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.• It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.• Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:Less than one month:4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)More than one month:4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) BatteriesFor safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized service center.Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.Note:  For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery.
Health and safety information72Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC NoticeFCC NoticeNote: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is  subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.This 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 (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.: Publication Sales Division.CautionsChanges or modifications made in the radio phone, not expressly approved by Samsung, will void the user’s authority to operate the 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.Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Health and safety information73For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at www.fcc.gov.Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.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 limit estabilished by the FCC. Tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g. at  the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are Head: 1.28W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.861 W/Kg. For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF 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 of 1.5 cm from the body. None-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF esposure guidelines.

GH68-08136AHearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile PhonesWhen 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 interfer-ence, 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 gener-ate 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.
