phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon  
(

Wireless Web  
Your phone comes equipped with Wireless Web Internet access through a  
MiniBrowser. The MiniBrowser displays immediate information through your  
phone. You can view specially designed versions of popular sites which include  
sports, weather, news, stock quotes, etc. Browsing the Web through your  
phone is not the same as using your PC since site providers have only selected  
certain aspects of the available sites to present to the wireless phone users and  
have removed most graphics.  
Each time you launch the MiniBrowser, the phone will connect to the Internet  
and the service indicator icon will display. Any time the service indicator icon is  
visible on the display, you are connected to the Internet and will be invoiced  
accordingly.  
Note: Rates and pricing vary according to your service option. For further  
information contact your service provider.  
The MiniBrowser will end an Internet connection after a certain period of  
inactivity, however some information from your session remains stored in the  
phone, and (if you leave your phone turned on) you can access this  
information without reconnecting to the Internet. If you are viewing this stored  
information, and you select a link to a site that was not accessed in your last  
session, then you will automatically be re-connected to the Internet.

Roaming  
Roaming on other digital networks  
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security  
will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on your  
home network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as  
Wireless Web.  
Roaming on analog networks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality  
provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, such  
as Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls.  
You will experience a few differences including:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and  
dropped calls.  
Some calling features which are standard on your home Network, such  
as Call Waiting, Wireless Web and direct international dialing, are  
unavailable.  
There are security and privacy risks, such as eavesdropping and cloning,  
that exist with conventional analog services today.  
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for  
analog roaming.  
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave your home network and enter an area  
where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is  
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think the service is  
available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to your home  
network.

Usage guidelines:  
all about performance and safety  
Understanding Signal Strength  
The quality of each call you make or receive, is dependent upon the signal  
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by  
displaying a icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. The signal  
strength indicator (  
) displays in the upper left corner of your display  
screen. The voice quality of your phone is always clearest when the antenna is  
fully raised. If you’re inside a building, reception may be better near a window.  
Understanding the Power Save Mode  
If you are trying to use your phone in an area where the signal is too weak, the  
Power Save feature automatically activates to conserve battery power when you  
have been unable to pick up a signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it  
periodically rechecks service availability. To manually check, press any key. A  
message is displayed on the screen any time you activate Power Save. 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 is turned on,  
it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When your phone is in  
use, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can  
range from 0.6 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Specifications are Subject to Change  
The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the time  
of printing, however, Samsung reserves the right to change or modify any of the  
specifications without notice or obligation to update existing units.

Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals  
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter  
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also transmits radio frequency (RF)  
signals  
In August, 1996. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF  
exposer guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those  
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S.  
and international standards bodies:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992)  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the  
relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and  
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry  
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI standard (C95.1).  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those  
standards).  
Body-worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a  
handset on your body, use a Samsung supplied or approved carrying case,  
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn  
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your  
body when transmitting. Use of non-Samsung approved accessories may violate  
FCC RF exposure guidelines.

91  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized  
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may  
violate FCC regulations.  
Phone Operation  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the  
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
Extend your antenna fully.  
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.  
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to  
operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.  
Operating a Motor Vehicle  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas  
where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving,  
please:  
Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibility.  
Use hands free operation, if available.  
Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,  
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from  
your wireless phone.

Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum  
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless  
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.  
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and  
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their  
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for  
interference;  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn  
your phone OFF immediately.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your  
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.  
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.  
Turn your phone Off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in  
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be  
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.  
Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative  
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any  
equipment that you add to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone Off in any facility where posted notices so require.  
Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch Off your  
phone before boarding an aircraft.  
Blasting Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone Off when in a  
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and  
instructions.  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn your phone Off when in any area with a potential 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.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly  
marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on  
boats; fuel or chemical transfers 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; any other area  
where you would normally be advised to turn Off your vehicle engine.  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air bag  
An air bag inflates with tremendous 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 in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly  
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Storing your phone  
You must not store or carry your phone, its parts, or accessories in the same  
compartment or other area where there flammable liquids, gases, or explosive  
or flammable materials.  
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, antennas, and chargers. The use of any  
unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and will invalidate the phone  
warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of hardware and can  
be broken. Use common-sense guidelines to avoid dropping, hitting, bending,  
or sitting on it.  
Your Phone as a Network Device  
Your telephone requires a service provider to send and receive calls. Your  
phone is only one part of a system or “network” of devices that makes it  
possible for you to send and receive calls, text messages, voice message, access  
the Internet using the minibrowser, and to take advantage of all of the other  
services and features available when your phone is used with your service  
provider.  
Your phone will always try your call using your home system, but if this is  
unavailable, then the phone will use the preferred roaming system.  
If you cannot roam, your call will not be connected and the  
icon is  
displayed. In some service areas, an operator may come on the line asking you  
how you would like to pay for the call.

To make all of the features available to you, your phone is designed by  
Samsung and your service provider to allow your service provider to send (at  
any time) a variety or information and messages to your phone. You may think  
of this as an over the air service to your phone. During an over-the-air  
programming session, your phone may display the following messages:  
“Search... Download” - this message means the phone is looking for the  
data to download.  
“Progress Download” - this message means the phone is downloading  
data. Do not turn your phone off while this is occurring. See the  
CAUTION below.  
“Download Success” - this message means that your phone has been  
successfully reprogrammed. You can now continue to use your phone as  
you normally do.  
“Download Failed” - if this message appears contact your service  
provider.  
CAUTION: If you turn off your phone during a download, your phone (or  
some features) may not work properly in the network. If this happens don’t  
worry, contact your service provider for help in correcting the problem.

Acknowledging Special Precautions  
and Industry Canada Notice  
Only use approved batteries, antennas, and chargers. The use of any  
unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and will invalidate the phone  
warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of hardware and can  
be broken. Use common-sense guidelines to avoid dropping, hitting, bending  
or sitting on it.
