Section 10: Health and Safety Information  
Thissectionoutlinesthesafetyprecautionsassociated  
with using your phone. These safety precautions  
should be followed to safely use your phone.  
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)  
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).  
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.  
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.  
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).  
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating  
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone  
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for  
this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels  
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure  
guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this model  
phone as reported to the FCC are:  
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 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.

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.  
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.  
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

hazard?

any health problems are associated with using  
wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that  
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones

could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to

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:  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some  
interagency working group activities, as well.

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

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.  
Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the  
safety questions discussed in this document.  
What arethe resultsof 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  
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.

Many factors affect this measurement, such as the  
angle at which the phone is held, or which model of  
phone is used.  
What research is needed to decide  
whether RF exposure from wireless  
phones poses a health risk?  
What is FDA doing to find out more  
about the possible  
healtheffectsofwirelessphoneRF?  
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).  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.

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 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.  
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  
115

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 compatible hearing aid at the  
same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in  
2000.

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:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.  
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you  
cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person  
sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.

Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss  
and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally, the  
amount of sound produced by a portable audio device  
varies depending on the nature of the sound, the  
device settings, and the headphones that are used. As  
a result, there is no single volume setting that is  
appropriate for everyone or for every combination of  
sound, settings and equipment.  
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume  
increases, less time is required before you hearing could

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.  
Implantable Medical Devices  
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be  
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and  
an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker  
or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid  
potential interference with the device.  
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 if you are  
using an external antenna).  
Persons who have such devices:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches  
from their implantable medical device when the phone is  
turned ON;  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;  
Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical  
device to minimize the potential for interference;  
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any  
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.  
Should read and follow the directions from the

others to this interference noise, and phones also vary  
in the amount of interference they generate.  
For more information see:  
The wireless telephone industry has developed a  
rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing  
device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a  
label located on the box.  
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility  
(HAC) Regulations for Wireless  
Devices  
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-  
309 modified the exception of wireless phones under  
the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to  
require digital wireless phones be compatible with  
hearing-aids.  
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary  
depending on the user's hearing device and hearing  
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable  
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated  
phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your  
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your  
personal needs.  
The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable  
access to telecommunications services for persons  
with hearing disabilities.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC  
requirements and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than phones that are  
not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

interference to hearing devices than phones that are  
not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing  
device manufacturer or hearing health professional  
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that  
the hearing device is relatively immune to interference  
noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating  
values are then added together. A sum of 5 is  
considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is  
considered for best use.  
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U  
mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with  
the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended  
by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries  
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced  
in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules.

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).  
3. Press the  
key.  
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.  
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.  
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  
To make an emergency call:  
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.  
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.  
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized  
accessories may be dangerous and void the phone  
warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect  
to the phone.  
FCC Notice and Cautions  
FCC Notice  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex  
piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid  
dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.  
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used  
in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC  
can require you to stop using the phone if such  
interference cannot be eliminated.  
Other Important Safety  
Information  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as  
propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire  
Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this  
standard, contact the National Fire Protection  
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA  
02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.  
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install  
the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be  
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to  
the device.  
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your  
vehicle is mounted and operating properly.  
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive  
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts  
or accessories.  
Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not  
expressly approved in this document could void your  
warranty for this equipment, and void your authority to  
operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,  
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an  
air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,

including both installed or portable wireless equipment in  
the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.  
If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air  
bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
Switch your phone off before boarding an aircraft. The use  
of wireless phone in aircraft is illegal and may be  
dangerous to the aircraft's operation.  
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the  
suspension or denial of telephone services to the offender,  
or legal action, or both.  
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 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.  
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.  
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a  
message displays on the screen. When a signal is  
found, your phone returns to standby mode.  
Understanding How Your Phone  
Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and  
receiver. When it's turned on, it receives and transmits  
radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your  
phone, the system handling your call controls the  
127  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts  
to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna,  
obstructing the internal antenna could inhibit call  
performance.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your  
phone is maintained, secondary transmitters such as  
Bluetooth and WLAN components must be disabled during  
a call.  
If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold  
the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over  
your shoulder.  
Battery Standby and Talk Time  
Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone  
usage patterns and conditions. Battery power  
Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if  
applicable.  
Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

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.  
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  
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a  
hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone  
and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery,  
take it to a service center for inspection.  
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.  
Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers.  
Some Web sites and second-hand dealers, not associated  
with reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be  
selling incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and  
chargers. Consumers should purchase manufacturer or  
carrier recommended products and accessories. If unsure  
about whether a replacement battery or charger is  
compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or  
charger.  
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any  
way.  
Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could  
result in serious safety hazards.  
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.  
Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines  
found in the user’s guide.  
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery  
charge and the type of battery and charger used. The  
Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and  
charging devices could result in damage to the equipment

and a possible risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other  
serious hazard.  
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.  
Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact  
with metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.  
Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on  
the battery as this can cause an internal short-circuit,  
resulting in overheating.  
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.  
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 place the phone in areas that may get very hot,  
such as on or near a cooking surface, cooking appliance,  
iron, or radiator.  
Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will  
dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could  
slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.  
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  
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
130

Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the  
reach of small children.  
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.  
If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, 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.  
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.
