FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using
the optional belt-clip/holster placed 1.0 inch (2.5cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 1.0 inch (2.5cm) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the phone, including the antenna,
whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips/
holsters with no metallic components that provide the minimum
separation distance of 1.0 inch (2.5cm) can be used to satisfy
FCC RF exposure requirements. The use of non-tested
accessories or other body-worn operations may not comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Contact
your local dealer for optional accessory items.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if available.)
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be
maintained Between a person and the vehicle mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov

SAR Information & FCC ID Labeling
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement know as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions specified 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 phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for
use at the ear is XXXXX and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is XXXXX . (Body-worn measurements differ among
phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID XXX XXXX.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com (see note).
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.

Using the Batteries
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
standard battery.
Precautions When Using Batteries
• 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 times
are greatly affected by the signal strength on the
cellular network and the parameters set by the
network operator.
• Battery charging times depend 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 life-time 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).
• 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-circuit.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire.

Safety Information
Road Safety
• Remember, road safety always comes first!
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving a
vehicle. Always park the vehicle before having a
conversation.
• Make sure that the phone is stored safely and will
not fall or be broken in the event of a collision or
emergency stop.
• The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s
lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.
• Only qualified personnel should install or service
the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service
may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
applicable to the unit.
• Electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking,
electronic cruise control or any other electronic
systems may malfunction due to the lack of
protection from radio signals. Check regularly that
all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is
mounted and operating correctly.
Operating Environment
• Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area and always switch off your
phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when
it may cause interference or danger (in a hospital
for example).
• Operation of any radio-transmitting equipment,
including cellular phones, may interfere with
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a doctor or the manufacturer of the medical
device if you have any questions. Other electronic
equipment may also be subject to interference.
• As with other mobile radio-transmitting equipment,
you are advised that for satisfactory operations
and personal safety, the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position.
• Always switch off the phone when at a refuelling
point (service station). You 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.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as
the phone, its parts or accessories.
• Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft.
The use of cellular phones in an aircraft is illegal
and may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft or disrupt the cellular network. Failure
to observe these instructions may lead to the
suspension or denial of cellular telephone services
to the offender, legal action or both.

Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you fulfill the warranty
obligations and 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. Precipitation, humidity and
liquids containing minerals will corrode the
electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas
as its components 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 temperature,
moisture can form inside the phone, which may
damage the electronic circuits.
• Do not attempt to open the phone’s casing.
Non-expert handling of the phone may damage it.
• Do not drop or knock the phone. Rough handling
may damage the internal circuits.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or
strong detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it with
a soft cloth slightly dampened in mild, soapy water.
• If the phone or any of its accessories are not
working properly, take them to your nearest
qualified service center. The personnel there will
assist you, and if necessary, arrange for the phone
to be repaired.
Emergency Calls
Important! This phone, like any cellular phone, uses
radio signals, cellular and landline
networks, as well as user-programmed
functions that cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any
cellular 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 cellular signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
phone networks or when certain network services
and/or phone features are in use. Check with local
cellular service providers.

TDMA
Time division multiple access (TDMA) is a digital
transmission technology that allows a number of
users to access a single radio-frequency (RF) channel
without interference by allocating unique time slots
to each user within each channel. The TDMA digital
transmission scheme multiplexes three signals over a
single channel. The current TDMA standard for
cellular divides a single channel into six time slots,
with each signal using two slots, providing a 3 to 1
gain in capacity over advanced mobile-phone service
(AMPS). Each caller is assigned a specific time slot
for transmission.

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S.Food and Drug Administration’s Center
for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer
Update on Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The
following summarizes what is known-and what remains
unknown-about whether these products can pose a hazard to
health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk.
This information may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy
(i.e.,radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency
energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by
mode. It is well known that high of RF can produce biological
damage through heating effects (this is how your microwave
oven is able to cook food). However, it is not known whether,
to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of
RF might cause adverse health effects as well. Although
some research has been done to address these questions, no
clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation
has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not
allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe,
or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific
evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effects
associated with the use of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones,
the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close
to the user’s head during normal telephone conversation.
These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the
111110
short distance between the phone’s antenna-the primary
source of the RF-and the person’s head. The exposure to RF
from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at
greater distances from the user(on the outside of a car, for
example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held
phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly
with distance from the source. The safety of so-called
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower
power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.
How much evidence is there that hand-held
mobile phones might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either
way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing
scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that
have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their
research methods. Animal experiments investigating the
effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have
yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study,
mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one
type of cancer developed more than twice as many such
cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to
controls. There is much uncertainty among scientists about
whether results obtained from animal studies apply to the
use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the
results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many
of the studies that showed increased tumor development
used animals that had already been treated with cancer-
causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to
the RF virtually continuously-up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile
phones. This research has resulted in two findings in
particular that merit additional study:
1. In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked
for an association between mobile phone use and either
glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a
benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically
significant association was found between mobile phone
use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no association
between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of
types of gliomas were considered together. It should be
noted that the average length of mobile phone exposure in
this study was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately,
however, an association was found between mobile phone
use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous
tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same
sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover,
the risk did not increase with how often the mobile phone
was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually
decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use.
Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased
exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National
Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and
repeatability of these results.1
2. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to
assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on
genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of
abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal
aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in
the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes.
None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except for
the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on
the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed
changes after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation,
but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that
exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in
heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive to
heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to
occur. The data already in the literature on the response of
the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-
up research is necessary.2

FDA is currently working with government, industry, and
academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these
industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association(CTIA) in
particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research
recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-
funded research based on such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in
the literature:
1. Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated
mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while
they performed cognitive function tests. There were no
changes in the subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers,
or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were
able to make choices more quickly in one visual test
when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone
signals. This was the only change noted among more
than 20 variables compared.3
2 . In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched
controls, there was no increased risk of brain tumors
associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did
exist in certain locations, however, they were more
likely to be on the side of the head where the mobile
phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small
number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small
to be statistically significant.4
In summary, we do not have enough information at this
point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any
low incident health problems associated with use of mobile
phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including
other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research
is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to the
outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.
What is known about cases of human cancer
that have been reported in users of hand-held
mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile phones have been
diagnosed with brain cancer. But it is important to
understand that this type of cancer also occurs among
people who have not used mobile phones. In fact, brain
cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of about 6
new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate,
assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number
increasing at a rate of about 1 million per moth), about
4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each year
among those 80 million people, whether or not they used
their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any
individual’s cancer arose because of the phone, or whether
it would have happened anyway. A key question is whether
the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater
among people who use mobile phones than among the rest
of the population. One way to answer that question is to
compare the usage of mobile phones among people with
brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among
appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is
called a case-control study. The current case-control study
of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as well
as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will
begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of
mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-
emitting consumer products such as mobile phones before
marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile
phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the
manufacturers of mobile 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 at this time, FDA has urged the mobile
phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public
safety. The agency has recommended that the industry:
• support needed research into possible biological effects of
RF of the type emitted by mobile phones:
• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is not necessary for device
function; and
• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best
possible information on what is known about possible
effects of mobile phone use on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working
group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for
different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a
coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communication Commission
• Occupational Health and Safety Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information
Administration
The National Institutes of Health also participates in this
group.
In the absence of conclusive information about
any possible risk, what can concerned
individuals do?
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 people
are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are
simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those
persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held
mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations
on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models
for shorter conversations for for situations when other
types of phones are not available.
Phone who must conduct extended conversations in their
cars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that
places more distance between their bodies and the source
of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. For example, they could switch to:
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside
the vehicle,
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a
different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or
built into a separate package, or
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone
carried at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile
phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the
radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the
simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible
risk.

Wireless Phone Safety Tips
Your Samsung wireless telephone 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 Samsung 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, if possible, 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 which
have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 100 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 100 or other local emergency number, as you
would want others to do for you.*
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergencies 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 wireless number.*
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones 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.
