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,

Menription

E840-2.fm Page 41 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

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

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

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 : GSM850

Head: 0.336W/Kg, Body-worn:0.258W/Kg.

Health and safety information

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

E840-2.fm Page 44 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

also emit very low levels of RF when in the

stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF

can produce health effects (by heating

tissue), exposure to low level RF that does

not produce heating effects causes no

known adverse health effects. Many studies

of low level RF exposures have not found

any biological effects. Some studies have

suggested that some biological effects may

occur, but such findings have not been

confirmed by additional research. In some

cases, other researchers have had difficulty

in reproducing those studies, or in

determining the reasons for inconsistent

results.

What is FDA's role concerning the

safety of wireless phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the

safety of radiation-emitting consumer

products such as wireless phones before

they can be sold, as it does with new drugs

or medical devices. However, the agency has

authority to take action if wireless phones

are shown to emit radio frequency energy

(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user.

In such a case, FDA could require the

manufacturers of wireless phones to notify

users of the health hazard and to repair,

replace or recall the phones so that the

hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not

justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has

urged the wireless phone industry to take a

number of steps, including the following:

E840-2.fm Page 45 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

• “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 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

E840-2.fm Page 46 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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 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

E840-2.fm Page 47 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or

other cancers. None of the studies

demonstrated the existence of any harmful

health effects from wireless phones RF

exposures. However, none of the studies can

answer questions about long-term

exposures, since the average period of

phone use in these studies was around three

years.

What research is needed to decide

whether RF exposure from wireless

phones poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and

epidemiological studies of people actually

using wireless phones would provide some

of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal

exposure studies could be completed in a

few years. However, very large numbers of

animals would be needed to provide reliable

proof of a cancer promoting effect if one

exists. Epidemiological studies can provide

data that is directly applicable to human

populations, but ten or more years' follow-

up may be needed to provide 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?

E840-2.fm Page 48 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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

E840-2.fm Page 49 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

is probably very small. But if you are

concerned about avoiding even potential

risks, you can take a few simple steps to

minimize your exposure to radio frequency

energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in

how much exposure a person receives,

reducing the amount of time spent using a

wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.

• “If you must conduct extended

conversations by wireless phone every

day, you could place more distance

between your body and the source of the

RF, since the exposure level drops off

dramatically with distance. For example,

you could use a headset and carry the

wireless phone away from your body or

use a wireless phone connected to a

remote antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate

that wireless phones are harmful. But if you

are concerned about the RF exposure from

these products, you can use measures like

those described above to reduce your RF

exposure from wireless phone use.

What about children using wireless

phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a

danger to users of wireless phones,

including children and teenagers. If you

want to take steps to lower exposure to

radio frequency energy (RF), the measures

described above would apply to children and

teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing

the time of wireless phone use and

increasing the distance between the user

and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national

governments have advised that children be

discouraged from using wireless phones at

all. For example, the government in the

E840-2.fm Page 50 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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 user from

E840-2.fm Page 51 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

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

E840-2.fm Page 52 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

requirements for hearing aids and wireless

phones so that no interference occurs when

a person uses a compatible phone and a

compatible hearing aid at the same time.

This standard was approved by the IEEE in

2000.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless

phones for possible interactions with other

medical devices. Should harmful

interference be found to occur, FDA will

conduct testing to assess the interference

and work to resolve the problem.

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

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.

E840-2.fm Page 54 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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.

E840-2.fm Page 55 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting.

Make people you are talking with aware

you are driving and suspend

conversations that have the potential to

divert your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.

Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency

number in the case of fire, traffic

accident or medical emergencies.

Remember, it is a free call on your

wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. If you see an auto

accident, crime in progress or other

serious emergency where lives are in

danger, call 9-1-1 or other local

emergency number, as you would want

others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-

emergency wireless assistance number

when necessary. If you see a broken-

down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a

broken traffic signal, a minor traffic

accident where no one appears injured,

or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call

roadside assistance or other special non-

emergency number.

E840-2.fm Page 56 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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, 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:

E840-2.fm Page 57 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

• 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. 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.

E840-2.fm Page 58 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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

contains chemicals or particles, such as

grain, dust or metal powders, and any other

E840-2.fm Page 59 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

area where you would normally be advised

to turn off your vehicle engine.

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

E840-2.fm Page 60 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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.

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.

E840-2.fm Page 64 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

• 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.

E840-2.fm Page 65 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety 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, 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

E840-2.fm Page 66 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

than a week, since overcharging may

shorten its life.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the

charging capacity of your battery: it may

require cooling or warming first.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold

places, such as in a car in summer or

winter conditions, as you will reduce the

capacity and lifetime of the battery.

Always try to keep the battery at room

temperature. A phone with a hot or cold

battery may temporarily not work, even

when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion

batteries are particularly affected by

temperatures below 0 °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

E840-2.fm Page 67 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

Health and safety information

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.

• 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

E840-2.fm Page 68 Monday, May 14, 2007 9:04 AM

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.
