Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic elds for extended periods of time.Avoid interference with other electronic devicesYour 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.••••••Important usage informationUse your phone in the normal positionAvoid contact with your phone's internal antenna.Allow only qualied personnel to service your phoneAllowing unqualied personnel to service your phone may result in damage to your phone and will void your warranty.Ensure maximum battery and charger lifeAvoid 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 careDo 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 ngers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.Ensure access to emergency servicesEmergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsCertication 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 scientic and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic 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 Specic 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 •Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environmentsDo 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 re in and around fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry ammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuriesWhen sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip, press the buttons lightly, use special features that reduce the number of buttons you have to press(such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.Safety precautionsDrive safely at all timesAvoid 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.Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with careUse only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specically designed for your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your phone. Never dispose of batteries or phone in a re. Follow all local regulations when disposing used batteries or phone. 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 pacemakersMaintain 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.••••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 certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied 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:0.113 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.838 W/Kg; GSM1900 Head: 0.152 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.917 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, A3LSWDS3600. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to nd 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 specic SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.FCC Notice and CautionsFCC NoticeThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
