iiiFCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATIONIn August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ofthe United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulatedtransmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safetystandard previously set by both U.S. and international standardsbodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCCguidelines and these international standards. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorizedantennas, 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 damagedantenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn mayresult. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.Body-worn OperationThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations usingthe optional belt-clip/holster placed 0.78 inches (2.0cm) from thebody. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimumseparation distance of 0.78 inches (2.0cm) must be maintainedbetween the user’s body and the phone, including the antenna.The use of third-party belt-clips/ holsters with no metalliccomponents that provide the minimum separation distance of0.78 inches (2.0cm) can be used to satisfy FCC RF exposurerequirements. The use of non-tested accessories or other body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposurerequirements and should be avoided. Contact your local dealerfor optional accessory items.Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, ifavailable.)A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must bemaintained Between a person and the vehicle mounted externalantenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCCwebsite at www.fcc.govSAR Information & FCC ID LabelingTHIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’SREQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It isdesigned and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits forexposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission of the U.S. Government. Theselimits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the general population. Theguidelines are based on standards that were developed byindependent scientific organizations through periodic andthorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include asubstantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of allpersons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs aunit of measurement know as the Specific Absorption Rate, orSAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SARare conducted using standard operating positions specified bythe FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certifiedpower level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, the actual SARlevel of the phone while operating can be well below themaximum value. This is because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it mustbe tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed thelimit established by the government-adopted requirement forsafe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC foreach model. The highest SAR value for this model phone whentested for use at the ear is 1.484 W/kg and when worn on thebody, as described in this user guide, is 1.240 W/kg . (Body-wornmeasurements differ among phone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCC requirements). While there maybe differences between the SAR levels of various phones and atvarious positions, they all meet the government requirement forsafe exposure.

9998Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operatingpositions specified by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operation can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levelsso as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that itdoes not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-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 bythe FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurementsdiffer among phone models, depending upon availableaccessories and FCC requirements). While there maybe differences between the SAR levels of variousphones and at various positions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safety exposure.For body worn operation, to maintain compliance withFCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Samsung-approved accessories. When carrying the phone whileit is on, use the specific Samsung belt-clip that hasbeen tested for compliance.Use of non-SAMSUNG-approved accessories mayviolate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should beavoided.HHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonnHealth and SafetyInformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and manufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission of the U.S. Government. These limits arepart of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. Those guidelines are consistent with thesafety standard previously set by both U.S. andinternational standards bodies:• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)IEEE. C95.1-1992• National Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement (NCRP). Report 86• International Commission on Non-IonizingRadiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6.The standards include a substantial safety margindesigned to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit setby the FCC is 1.6W/kg.**In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the publicis 1.6 watts/kg(w/kg) averaged over on gram of tissue. The standardincorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection forthe public and to account for any variations in measurements.

The battery can be charged and dischargedhundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.When the operation time (talk time and standbytime) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is timeto buy a new battery.• If left unused, a fully charged battery willdischarge itself over time.• Use only Samsung-approved batteries andrecharge your battery only with Samsung-approvedchargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnectit from the power source. Do not leave the batteryconnected to a charger for more than a week,since overcharging may shorten its life.

Always try to keep the battery at roomtemperature. A phone with a hot or cold batterymay temporarily not work, even when the batteryis fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularlyaffected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental shortcircuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin,clip or pen) causes a direct connection betweenthe + and - terminals of the battery (metal stripson the back of the battery), for example whenyou carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag.Short-circuiting the terminals may damage thebattery or the object causing the short-circuit.• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with localregulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose ofbatteries in a fire.Road SafetyYour wireless phone gives you the powerful ability tocommunicate by voice-almost anywhere, anytime.But an important responsibility accompanies thebenefits of wireless phones, one that every usermust uphold.When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.When using your wireless phone behind the wheel ofa car, practice good common sense and rememberthe following tips:1. Get to know your wireless phone and its featuressuch as speed dial and redial. If available, thesefeatures help you to place your call without takingyour attention off the road.2. When available, use a hands-free device. Ifpossible, add an additional layer of convenienceand safety to your wireless phone with one of themany hands-free accessories available today.3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Beable to access your wireless phone withoutremoving your eyes from the road. If you get anincoming 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 aredriving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavytraffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain,sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can behazardous.
1051045. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers whiledriving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flippingthrough your address book takes attention awayfrom your primary responsibility, driving safely.6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,place calls when you are not moving or beforepulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your carwill be stationary. If you need to make a call whilemoving, dial only a few numbers, check the roadand your mirrors, and continue.7. Do not engage in stressful or emotionalconversations that may be distracting. Makepeople you are talking with aware you are drivingand suspend conversations that have the potentialto divert your attention from the road.8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1or other local emergency number in the case offire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!9. Use your wireless phone to help others inemergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime inprogress or other serious emergency where livesare in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergencynumber, as you would want others to do for you.10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergencies wireless assistance number whennecessary. If you see a broken-down vehicleposing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal,a minor traffic accident where no one appearsinjured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, callroadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.Operating EnvironmentRemember to follow any special regulations in forcein any area and always switch off your phonewhenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it maycause interference of danger.When connecting the phone or any accessory toanother device, read its user’s guide for detailedsafety instructions. Do not connect incompatibleproducts.As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,users are advised that for the satisfactory operationof the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it isrecommended that the equipment should only beused in the normal operating position (held to yourear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).HHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonnHHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn
107106Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded fromradio frequency (RF) signals. However, certainelectronic equipment may not be shielded againstthe RF signals from your wireless phone.PacemakersPacemaker manufacturers recommend that aminimum separation of 6 inches (20 cm) bemaintained between a hand-held wireless phone anda pacemaker to avoid potential interference with thepacemaker. These recommendations are consistentwith the independent research by andrecommendations of Wireless Technology Research.Persons with pacemakers:• Should always keep the phone more than 6inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when thephone is switched on;• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker tominimize the potential for interference.• If you have any reason to suspect thatinterference is taking place, switch off yourphone immediately.Hearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere withsome hearing aids. In the event of such interference,you may want to consult your hearing aidmanufacturer to discuss alternatives.Other Medical DevicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consultthe manufacturer of your device to determine if theyare adequately shielded from external RF energy.Your physician may be able to assist you in obtainingthis information. Switch off your phone in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in theseareas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health carefacilities may be using equipment that could besensitive to external RF energy.VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed orinadequately shielded electronic systems in motorvehicles. Check with the manufacturer or itsrepresentative regarding your vehicle. You shouldalso consult the manufacturer of any equipment thathas been added to your vehicle.Posted FacilitiesSwitch off your phone in any facility where postednotices so require.HHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonnHHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn
109108Potentially Explosive AtmospheresSwitch off your phone when in any area with apotentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signsand instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause anexplosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or evendeath.Users are advised to switch off the phone while at arefueling point (service station). Users are remindedof the need to observe restrictions on the use ofradio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage anddistribution areas), chemical plants or where blastingoperations are in progress.Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere areoften but not always clearly marked. They includebelow deck on boats; chemical transfer or storagefacilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas(such as propane or butane); areas where the aircontains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dustor metal powders; and any other area where youwould normally be advised to turn off your vehicleengine.VehiclesOnly qualified personnel should service the phone, orinstall the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation orservice may be dangerous and may invalidate anywarranty which may apply to the unit.Check regularly that all mobile phone equipment onyour vehicle is mounted and operating properly.Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases orexplosive materials in the same compartment as thephone, its parts or accessories.For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember thatan air bag inflates with great force. Do not placeobjects, including both installed or portable wirelessequipment in the area over the air bag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle wirelessequipment is improperly installed and the air baginflates, serious injury could result.Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft.The use of mobile phones in an aircraft may bedangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt thewireless telephone network and may be illegal.Failure to observe these instructions may lead to thesuspension or denial of telephone services to theoffender, or legal action, or both.HHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonnHHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn

Thefollowing summarizes what is known-and what remainsunknown-about whether these products can pose a hazard tohealth, 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 whilebeing used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequencyenergy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-bymode. It is well known that high of RF can produce biologicaldamage through heating effects (this is how your microwaveoven is able to cook food). However, it is not known whether,to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels ofRF might cause adverse health effects as well. Althoughsome research has been done to address these questions, noclear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiationhas emerged to date. Thus, the available science does notallow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe,or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientificevidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effectsassociated 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 closeto the user’s head during normal telephone conversation.These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the
125124short distance between the phone’s antenna-the primarysource of the RF-and the person’s head. The exposure to RFfrom mobile phones in which the antenna is located atgreater distances from the user(on the outside of a car, forexample) is drastically lower than that from hand-heldphones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidlywith distance from the source. The safety of so-called“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected tothe telephone wiring in a house and which operate at farlower power levels and frequencies, has not beenquestioned.How much evidence is there that hand-heldmobile phones might be harmful?Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure,either way; however, research efforts are on-going. Theexisting scientific evidence is conflicting and many of thestudies that have been done to date have suffered fromflaws in their research methods. Animal experimentsinvestigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic ofmobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A fewanimal studies, however, have suggested that low levels ofRF could accelerate the development of cancer inlaboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically altered tobe predisposed to developing one type of cancer developedmore than twice as many such cancers when they wereexposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is muchuncertainty among scientists about whether resultsobtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobilephones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the resultsobtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of thestudies that showed increased tumor development usedanimals that had already been treated with cancer-causingchemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RFvirtually continuously-up to 22 hours per day.For the past five years in the United States, the mobilephone industry has supported research into the safety ofmobile phones. This research has resulted in two findingsin particular that merit additional study:1. In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers lookedfor an association between mobile phone use and eitherglioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (abenign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statisticallysignificant association was found between mobile phoneuse and acoustic neuroma. There was also no associationbetween mobile phone use and gliomas when all types oftypes of gliomas were considered together. It should benoted that the average length of mobile phone exposure inthis study was less than three years. When 20 types of glioma were considered separately,however, an association was found between mobile phoneuse and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatoustumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of thesame sample that this association occurred by chance.Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often themobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact,the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours ofmobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increaserisk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of braincancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected tobear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.12. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory teststo assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF ongenetic material. These included tests for several kinds ofabnormalities, including mutations, chromosomalaberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes inthe genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes.None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except forthe micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects onthe genetic material. The cells in this assay showedchanges after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation,but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible thatexposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted inheating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive toheating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities tooccur. The data already in the literature on the response ofthe micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up research is necessary.2
127126FDA is currently working with government, industry, andacademic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to theseindustry-funded research findings. Collaboration with theCellular Telecommunications Industry Association(CTIA) inparticular is expected to lead to FDA providing researchrecommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such recommendations.Two other studies of interest have been reported recently inthe literature:1. Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulatedmobile phone signals under laboratory conditions whilethey performed cognitive function tests. There were nochanges in the subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers,or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they wereable to make choices more quickly in one visual testwhen they were exposed to simulated mobile phonesignals. This was the only change noted among morethan 20 variables compared.32 . In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matchedcontrols, there was no increased risk of brain tumorsassociated with mobile phone use. When tumors didexist in certain locations, however, they were morelikely to be on the side of the head where the mobilephone was used. Because this occurred in only a smallnumber of cases, the increased likelihood was too smallto be statistically significant.4In summary, we do not have enough information at thispoint to assure the public that there are, or are not, anylow incident health problems associated with use of mobilephones. FDA continues to work with all parties, includingother federal agencies and industry, to assure that researchis undertaken to provide the necessary answers to theoutstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.What is known about cases of human cancerthat have been reported in users of hand-heldmobile phones?Some people who have used mobile phones have beendiagnosed with brain cancer. But it is important tounderstand that this type of cancer also occurs amongpeople who have not used mobile phones. In fact, braincancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of about 6new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate,assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a numberincreasing at a rate of about 1 million per moth), about4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each yearamong those 80 million people, whether or not they usedtheir phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether anyindividual’s cancer arose because of the phone, or whetherit would have happened anyway. A key question is whetherthe risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greateramong people who use mobile phones than among the restof the population. One way to answer that question is tocompare the usage of mobile phones among people withbrain cancer with the use of mobile phones amongappropriately matched people without brain cancer. This iscalled a case-control study. The current case-control studyof brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as wellas the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, willbegin to generate this type of information.What is FDA’s role concerning the safety ofmobile phones?Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as mobile phones beforemarketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.However, the agency has authority to take action if mobilephones are shown to emit radiation at a level that ishazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require themanufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of thehealth hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones sothat the hazard no longer exists.
129128Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDAregulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobilephone industry to take a number of steps to assure publicsafety. The agency has recommended that the industry:• support needed research into possible biological effects ofRF of the type emitted by mobile phones:• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RFexposure to the user that is not necessary for devicefunction; and• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the bestpossible information on what is known about possibleeffects of mobile phone use on human health.At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency workinggroup of the federal agencies that have responsibility fordifferent aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure acoordinated 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 InformationAdministrationThe National Institutes of Health also participates in thisgroup.In the absence of conclusive information aboutany possible risk, what can concernedindividuals do?If there is a risk from these products-and at this point we donot know that there is-it is probably very small. But if peopleare concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there aresimple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is akey factor in how much exposure a person receives. Thosepersons who spend long periods of time on their hand-heldmobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversationson conventional phones and reserving the hand-held modelsfor shorter conversations for for situations when othertypes of phones are not available.Phone who must conduct extended conversations in theircars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone thatplaces more distance between their bodies and the sourceof the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramaticallywith distance. For example, they could switch to:• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outsidethe vehicle,• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to adifferent antenna mounted on the outside of the car orbuilt into a separate package, or• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phonecarried at the waist.Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobilephones are harmful. But if people are concerned about theradiofrequency energy from these products, taking thesimple precautions outlined above can reduce any possiblerisk.Where can I find additional information?For additional information, see the following websites:Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF SafetyProgram (select “Information on Human Exposure to RFFields from Cellular and PCS Radio Transmitters”):http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafetyWorld Health Organization (WHO) InternationalCommission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (select Qs& As): http://www.who.int/emfUnited Kingdom, National Radiological ProtectionBoard: http://www.nrpb.org.ukCellular Telecommunications Industry Association(CTIA): http://www.wow-com.com
