Consumer Information on devices
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 devices. The FDA publication includes the following
information:
What kinds of pdevices are the subject of this update?
The term device refers here to hand-held devices with built-in
antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” devices. These types of
devices can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy
(RF) because of the short distance between the device 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 device is
located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is
1
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly
with increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless
devices,” 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 devices pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using devices. There is no proof,
however, that devices are absolutely safe. devices 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 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 devices?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as devices before they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority
to take action if devices 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 devices to notify users of the health
Health and safety information
2
Health and safety information
hazard and to repair, replace or recall the devices so that the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, FDA has urged the device industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
• “Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by devices;
• “Design devices in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user that is not necessary for device function; and
• “Cooperate in providing users of devices with the best possible
information on possible effects of device 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 devices with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All devices that are sold in the
United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
3
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety
questions about devices.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the device networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the
devices themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get
from devices. 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 devices 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 devices, 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 devices and primary brain cancer, glioma,
Health and safety information
4
Health and safety information
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 devices RF exposures.
However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of device use in these studies was
around three years.
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure
from devices poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of
people actually using devices 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
devices. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at
which the device is held, or which model of device is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of devices RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority
5
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 wdevice 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 device 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 device?
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 device will reduce RF exposure.
• “If you must conduct extended conversations by device every day,
you could place more distance between your body and the source of
Health and safety information
the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the
device away from your body or use a device connected to a remote
antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that devices 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 device use.
What about children using devices?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of devices,
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 devices. Reducing
the time of device 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 devices 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 device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
Do hands-free kits for devices reduce risks from exposure
to RF emissions?
7
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
devices, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks.
Hands-free kits can be used with devices for convenience and comfort.
These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because
the device, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed
against the head. On the other hand, if the device is mounted against
the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the
body will absorb more RF energy. Devices 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 device accessories that claim to shield the head from RF
radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
devices, 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 RF absorption use special device cases,
while others involve nothing more than a metallic accessory attached
to the device. 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 device. The device 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 device
users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims.
According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to
substantiate their claim.
Health and safety information
8
Health and safety information
What about device interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from devices 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 device EMI. FDA has tested devices 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 devices so that no
interference occurs when a person uses a compatible device 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 devices 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.

Health and safety information
Health and safety information
accompanies the benefits of devices, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your
device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your device 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 device with one
of the many hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your
device 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 device 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.
11
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 device 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 device!
9. Use your device 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 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
Health and safety information
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and
always switch your device off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or
12
Health and safety information
when it may cause interference or danger. When connecting the device
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 Device 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 device. Consult the
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15
cm (6 inches) be maintained between a device 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 device more than 15 cm
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the device is switched on.
• should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
13
• 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 device off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital devices 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 device 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 device off in any facility where posted notices require you
to do so.
Health and safety information
14
Potentially Explosive Environments
Health and safety information
Switch your device 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 device 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.
Emergency Calls
This device, like any device, 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 device for essential communications (medical
emergencies, for example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the device must be switched
on and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency
calls may not be possible on all device networks or when certain
15
network services and/or device features are in use. Check with local
service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the device 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 device 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 Device
Your device is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it
because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device or
make calls that increase your device bill.

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your device informs you of the current signal
19
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 device is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your device 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 device returns to standby
mode.
Maintaining Your Device's Peak Performance
For the best care of your device, only authorized personnel should
service your device and accessories. Faulty service may void the
warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
• Hold the device with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over
your shoulder.
• Try not to hold, bend or twist the device's antenna.
• Don't use the device if the antenna is damaged.
• Speak directly into the device's receiver.

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 device 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 device 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.
21
• 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 device 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
Yourdevice 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 device and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of
small children.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use the device with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an
electric shock to you or damage to the device.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving
parts may be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp
or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device warms up to
its normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the
device, which may damage the device's electronic circuit boards.
23
• Do not drop, knock or shake the device. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents
to clean the device. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a
mild soap-and-water solution.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the device's moving parts
and prevent proper operation.
• Do not put the device in or on heating devices, such as a microwave
oven, a stove or a radiator. The device may explode when
overheated.
• When the device or battery gets wet, the label indicating water
damage inside the device changes color. In this case, device repairs
are no longer guaranteed by the manufacturer's warranty, even if
the warranty for your device has not expired.
• If your device 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
device and violate regulations governing radio devices.
• If the device, 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.
