2021Exposure 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.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. Health and safety informationThe  highest  SAR  values  for  this  model  phone  as reported to the FCC are Head: 0.116 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.238W/Kg.For body worn operations, this model phone has been testde  and  meets  the  FCC  exposure  guidelines  when used  with  a  Samsung  accessory  designated  for  this product or when used with an accessroy that contains no metal and that positons the handset a minimum 1.5 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 A3LSPHW5200.              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 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 agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF
2223exposure 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;Health and safety information• “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 AdministrationThe 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.
2425What 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 Health and safety informationanswers 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.
2627What  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. Health and safety informationDo 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 phone users from radiation with making false and  unsubstantiated  claims.  According  to  FTC,  these defendants  lacked  a  reasonable  basis  to  substantiate their claim.
2829What  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.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.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/Health and safety information•  International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection: http://www.icnirp.de•  National Radiation Protection Board (UK): http://www.nrpb.org.uk•  Updated 4/3/2002: US food and Drug Administration http://www.fda.gov/cellphonesRoad SafetyYour 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.
30316   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 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.”For more information, please call 1-888-901-SAFE, or visit our web-site www.wow-com.comProvided by the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet AssociationHealth and safety informationOperating EnvironmentRemember 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.

3839Battery Standby and Talk TimeStandby  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  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℃(32 ℉).Health and safety information•  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.•  Keep the phone dry.

It  is  designed  and  manufactured  to  not  exceed  the limits  for  exposure  to  radio-frequency  (RF)  energy,  as recommended by the EU Council. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through  the  periodic  and  thorough  evaluation  of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin  designed  to  ensure  the  safety  of  all  persons, regardless of age and health.The  exposure  standard  for  mobile  phones  employs  a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg.The highest SAR value for this model phone was GSM900 : 0.584 W/kg, GSM1800 : 0.153 W/kg, WCDMA : 0.554 W/kg.SAR  tests  are  conducted  using  standard  operating positions  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 base station, the lower the power output of the phone.Before a new  model phone  is available for sale  to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE Directive must  be  shown.  This  directive  includes  as  one  of  its essential requirements the protection of the health and safety of the user and any other person.The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary, depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.
