safety and
usage
information
Comply with the following precautions to avoid
dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak
performance of your mobile phone.
Keep your phone away from small
children and pets
Keep your phone and all accessories out of the
reach of small children or animals. Small parts may
cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Safety warnings
Listening to a headset at high volumes
can damage your hearing. Use only the

hear your conversation or music.
safety and usage information
3
Install mobile phones and equipment
with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment
installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid
placing your phone and accessories near or in an air
bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless
equipment can cause serious injury when air bags
inflate rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and
chargers with care
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers specifically designed for your phone.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause
serious injuries or damage to your phone.
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing used batteries.
• Never place batteries or phones on or in heating
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when
overheated.
• Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid
exposing the battery to high external pressure,
which can lead to an internal short circuit and
overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between
mobile phones and pacemakers to avoid potential
interference, as recommended by manufacturers
and the independent research group, Wireless
Technology Research. If you have any reason to
suspect that your phone is interfering with a
pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the
phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of
the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
4
safety and usage information
Turn off the phone in potentially
explosive environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service
stations) or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your
phone whenever directed by warning signs or
instructions. Your phone could cause explosions or
fire in and around fuel or chemical storage and
transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in
the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or
accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion
injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on
your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip,
press the keys lightly, use special features that
reduce the number of keys you have to press (such
as templates and predictive text), and take frequent
breaks.
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all
regulations that restrict the use of mobile phones
while driving. Use hands-free accessories to
increase your safety when possible.
Follow all safety warnings and
regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a
mobile phone in a certain area.
Use only Samsung-approved
accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
phone or cause injury.
Safety precautions
safety and usage information
5
Turn off the phone near medical
equipment
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in
hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all
regulations, posted warnings, and directions from
medical personnel.
Turn off the phone or disable the
wireless functions when in an aircraft
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft
equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off
your phone or switch to a mode that disables the
wireless functions when directed by airline
personnel.
Protect batteries and chargers from
damage
• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot
temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/
113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the
charging capacity and life of your batteries.
• Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects,
as this can create a connection between the +
and - terminals of your batteries and lead to
temporary or permanent battery damage.
• Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Handle your phone carefully and
sensibly
• Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can
cause serious damage. Do not handle your
phone with wet hands. Water damage to your
phone can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
6
safety and usage information
• Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty
areas to prevent damage to moving parts.
• Your phone is a complex electronic device—
protect it from impacts and rough handling to
avoid serious damage.
• Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog
moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light
close to the eyes of children or animals.
• Your phone and memory cards may be damaged
by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use
carrying cases or accessories with magnetic
closures or allow your phone to come in contact
with magnetic fields for extended periods of time.
Avoid interference with other electronic
devices
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that
may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded
electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices
in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of
your electronic devices to solve any interference
problems you experience.
safety and usage information
7
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna.
Allow only qualified personnel to service
your phone
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone
may result in damage to your phone and will void
your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger
life
• Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as
overcharging may shorten battery life.
• Over time, unused batteries will discharge and
must be recharged before use.
• Disconnect chargers from power sources when
not in use.
• Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle SIM cards and memory cards
with care
• Do not remove a card while the phone is
transferring or accessing information, as this
could result in loss of data and/or damage to the
card or phone.
• Protect cards from strong shocks, static
electricity, and electrical noise from other devices.
• Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life
span of memory cards.
• Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals
with your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the
card with a soft cloth.
Important usage information

Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.
These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations,
the National Counsel on Radiation Protection
and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In
both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, government, and
academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy by the human body expressed in
units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/
kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection to the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so
h
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.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are:
GSM800 Head: 0.223 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.345
W/Kg.
GSM1900 Head: 0.302 W/Kg, Body-worn:
0.392 W/Kg.
For body worn operation, this model phone has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines whenused 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.
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, A3LSWDE2510. 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.
Health and safety information
i
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
has published a series of Questions and
Answers for consumers relating to radio
frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones.
The FDA publication includes the following
information:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-
held wireless phones with built-in antennas,
often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones.
These types of wireless phones can expose the
user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF)
because of the short distance between the
phone and the user's head. These RF exposures
are limited by Federal Communications
Commission safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of FDA and other
federal health and safety agencies. When the
phone is located at greater distances from the
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower
because a person's RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the
source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which
have a base unit connected to the telephone
wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower
power levels, and thus produce RF exposures
well within the FCC's compliance limits.
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show
that any health problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is no proof,
however, that wireless phones are absolutely
safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects. Many studies of
j
low level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers
have had difficulty in reproducing those studies,
or in determining the reasons for inconsistent
results.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety
of radiation-emitting consumer products such
as wireless phones before they can be sold, as
it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take
action if wireless phones are shown to emit
radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA
could require the manufacturers of wireless
phones to notify users of the health hazard and
to repair, replace or recall the phones so that
the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not
justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged
the wireless phone industry to take a number of
steps, including the following:
• “Support needed research into possible
biological effects of RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones;
• “Design wireless phones in a way that
minimizes any RF exposure to the user that
is not necessary for device function; and
• “Cooperate in providing users of wireless
phones with the best possible information on
possible effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of
the federal agencies that have responsibility for
different aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The
Health and safety information
k
following agencies belong to this working
group:
• “National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health
• “Environmental Protection Agency
• “Federal Communications Commission
• “Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
• “National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in
some interagency working group activities, as
well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for
wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones
that are sold in the United States must comply
with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health
agencies for safety questions about wireless
phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the
wireless phone networks rely upon. While these
base stations operate at higher power than do
the wireless phones themselves, the RF
exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower
than those they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the primary subject
of the safety questions discussed in this
document.
What are the results of the research done
already?
The research done thus far has produced
conflicting results, and many studies have
suffered from flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating the effects of
radio frequency energy (RF) exposures
characteristic of wireless phones have yielded
l
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
Health and safety information
m
more years' follow-up may be needed to
provide answers about some health effects,
such as cancer. This is because the interval
between the time of exposure to a cancer-
causing agent and the time tumors develop - if
they do - may be many, many years. The
interpretation of epidemiological studies is
hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF
exposure during day-to-day use of wireless
phones. Many factors affect this measurement,
such as the angle at which the phone is held, or
which model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National
Toxicology Program and with groups of
investigators around the world to ensure that
high priority animal studies are conducted to
address important questions about the effects
of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization international
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its
inception in 1996. An influential result of this
work has been the development of a detailed
agenda of research needs that has driven the
establishment of new research programs
around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless
phone safety. FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is
conducted through contracts to independent
investigators. The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless
phone users. The CRADA will also include a
broad assessment of additional research needs
in the context of the latest research
developments around the world.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure
to radio frequency energy from my wireless
phone?
If there is a risk from these products - and at
this point we do not know that there is - it is
probably very small. But if you are concerned
about avoiding even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to minimize your
exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since
time is a key factor in how much exposure a
person receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF
exposure.
• “If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone every day,
you could place more distance between your
body and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. For example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless phone away
from your body or use a wireless phone
connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate
that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure from these
products, you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your RF exposure
from wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger
to users of wireless phones, including children
and teenagers. If you want to take steps to
lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF),
the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of wireless phone use and
Health and safety information
o
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.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce
risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure
to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is
no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce
risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless
phones for convenience and comfort. These
systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in
the head because the phone, which is the
source of the RF emissions, will not be placed
against the head. On the other hand, if the
phone is mounted against the waist or other
part of the body during use, then that part of
the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless
phones marketed in the U.S. are required to
meet safety requirements regardless of
whether they are used against the head or
against the body. Either configuration should
result in compliance with the safety limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to
shield the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure
to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is
no reason to believe that accessories that claim
to shield the head from those emissions reduce
risks. Some products that claim to shield the
p
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.
What about wireless phone interference with
medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless
phones can interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This test method is now
part of a standard sponsored by the Association
for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and many other
groups, was completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure
that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are
safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary
standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless
phones so that no interference occurs when a
person uses a compatible phone and a
Health and safety information
q
compatible hearing aid at the same time. This
standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless
phones for possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful interference
be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work to resolve the
problem.

Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of
r
wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following
tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features,
such as speed dial and redial. If available, these
features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible,
add an additional layer of convenience and safety to
your wireless phone with one of the many hands
free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be
able to access your wireless phone without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice
mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away
from your primary responsibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be
stationary. If you need to make a call while moving,
dial only a few numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make people
you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1
or other local emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember,
it is a free call on your wireless phone!
Health and safety information
s
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.

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area and always switch your phone
off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it
may cause interference or danger. When
connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user's guide for
detailed safety instructions. Do not connect
incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for
the safety of personnel, it is recommended that
the equipment should only be used in the
normal operating position (held to your ear with
the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic
Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
t
certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should always keep the phone more than 15
cm
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
• should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.
• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch your phone
off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health and safety information
u
Switch your phone off in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where
posted notices require you to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your phone off when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while
at a refueling point (service station). Users are
reminded of the need to observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chemical plants
or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked. They
include below deck on boats, chemical transfer
or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane),
areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders,
and any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
v
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates
using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks as well as user programmed
functions, which cannot guarantee connection
in all conditions. Therefore, you should never
rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for
example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the
phone must be switched on and in a service
area with adequate signal strength. Emergency
calls may not be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network services and/
or phone features are in use. Check with local
service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present
location (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by
location.
3. Press .
If certain features are in use (call barring, for
example), you may first need to deactivate
those features before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and
your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to
give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. Remember that your phone may be
the only means of communication at the scene
of an accident; do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
Restricting Children's access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with it because they could hurt
themselves and others, damage the phone or
make calls that increase your phone bill.

Product Performance
Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive
depends on the signal strength in your area.
Your phone informs you of the current signal
strength by displaying a number of bars next to
the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal.
If you're inside a building, being near a window
may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15
minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is
automatically activated. If your phone is active,
it periodically rechecks service availability or
you can check it yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a
message displays on the screen. When a signal
is found, your phone returns to standby mode.
z
Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized
personnel should service your phone and
accessories. Faulty service may void the
warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating
your phone properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
• Hold the phone with the antenna raised,
fully-extended and over your shoulder.
• Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's
antenna.
• Don't use the phone if the antenna is
damaged.
• Speak directly into the phone's receiver.
• 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. If it is inoperable, call
Customer Care for service.
Availability of Various Features/Ring
Tones
Many services and features are network
dependent and may require additional
subscription and/or usage charges. Not all
features are available for purchase or use in all
areas. Downloadable Ring Tones may be
available at an additional cost. Other conditions
and restrictions may apply. See your service
provider for additional information.
Battery Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on
phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery
power consumption depends on factors such as
network configuration, signal strength,
operating temperature, features selected,
Health and safety information
aa
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
ab
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-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 Maintenance
Your 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. Precipitation, humidity
and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing
so may cause an electric shock to you or
damage to the phone.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty
areas, as its moving parts 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.
Health and safety information
ac
• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When
the phone warms up to its normal operating
temperature, moisture can form inside the
phone, which may damage the phone's
electronic circuit boards.
• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone.
Rough handling can break internal circuit
boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents or strong detergents to clean the
phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly
dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the
device's moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
• Do not put the phone in or on heating
devices, such as a microwave oven, a stove
or a radiator. The phone may explode when
overheated.
• When the phone or battery gets wet, the
label indicating water damage inside the
phone changes color. In this case, phone
repairs are no longer guaranteed by the
manufacturer's warranty, even if the
warranty for your phone has not expired.
• If your phone has a flash or light, do not use
it too close to the eyes of people or animals.
This may cause damage to their eyes.
• Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas or modified accessories may
damage the phone and violate regulations
governing radio devices.
• If the phone, battery, charger or any
accessory is not working properly, take it to
your nearest qualified service facility. The
personnel there will assist you, and if
necessary, arrange for service.
