Section 12: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with
using your phone. These safety precautions should be followed
to safely use your phone.
Health and Safety Information
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, 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).
197
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 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 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.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of
1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
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:
• Head: 0.72 W/Kg.
198
• Body-worn: 0.85 W/Kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed
pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case
of the phone.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to
find 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 specific SAR information can

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 also emit very
201
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:
• 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
202
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 than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF
exposures that people get from these base stations are typically
203
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 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.
204
However, none of the studies can answer questions about
longterm 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?
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).
205
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 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
206
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 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.
207
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
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
208
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
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
209
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.
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.
211
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.
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.
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.

Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud
sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is
played louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to
loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that
using portable audio devices, such as portable music players
and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long
durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss.
This includes the use of headphones (including headsets,
earbuds, and Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to
very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and
distorted hearing.
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
213
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.
You should follow some commonsense recommendations when
using any portable audio device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the 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.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If
you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise. By blocking background
environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should allow
you to hear the music at lower volumes than when using
earbuds.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before you hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary
hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or
experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to
214
your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your
doctor.

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.
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).
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.
216
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.
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 manufacturer of
your implantable medical device. If you have any questions
about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult
your health care provider.
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
217
Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless
phones be compatible with hearing-aids.
The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to
telecommunications services for persons with hearing
disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a
buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are
more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones
also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
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.
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.
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.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two
218
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.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating
and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the
two values equal M5. This is synonymous for T ratings. This
should provide the hearing aid user with "normal usage" while
using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone.
"Normal usage" in this context is defined as a signal quality that
is acceptable for normal operation.
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.
219
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard.
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.
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
220
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 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 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.
221
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 the Send 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.
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
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.
FCC Notice and Cautions
FCC Notice
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.
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
222
Protection Association:
NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency)

Quincy, Massachusetts
USA 02169-7471
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 void 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
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending
or sitting on it.
Other Important Safety Information
• 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.
223
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
• 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.
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.
224
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.
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 power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts
to 0.2 watts in digital 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.
• 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. For more information, refer to “Turning Bluetooth On or
Off” on page 128.
• If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold the
225
phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your
shoulder.
• Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if applicable.
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
• 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.
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 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.
226
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.
• 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 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
227
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.
• 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.
• 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.
228
• 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 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.
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.
• Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the
229
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 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
230
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.

parts, the media and printed materials, any upgrades, this
EULA) and you may not retain any copies of the Software.
The transfer may not be an indirect transfer, such as a
consignment. Prior to the transfer, the end user receiving the

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. You expressly
acknowledge and agree that use of the Software is at your
sole risk and that the entire risk as to satisfactory quality,

MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION
OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR
ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE
WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN
INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY SAMSUNG OR A
SAMSUNG AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL
CREATE A WARRANTY. SHOULD THE SOFTWARE
PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST
OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF
A CONSUMER, SO THESE EXCLUSIONS AND
LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND
CERTAIN OTHER DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT NOT
PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SAMSUNG

LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FOR
ANY PECUNIARY DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE
THE SOFTWARE, THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO
PROVIDE SUPPORT OR OTHER SERVICES,
INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, AND RELATED CONTENT
THROUGH THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE, OR OTHERWISE
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROVISION OF
242
THIS EULA, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE
THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF SAMSUNG HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any damages
that you might incur for any reason whatsoever (including,
without limitation, all damages referenced herein and all
direct or general damages in contract or anything else), the
entire liability of Samsung under any provision of this EULA
and your exclusive remedy hereunder shall be limited to the
greater of the actual damages you incur in reasonable
reliance on the Software up to the amount actually paid by
you for the Software or US$5.00. The foregoing limitations,
exclusions and disclaimers (including Sections 9, 10 and 11)
shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose.
12. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. The Software is licensed
only with "restricted rights" and as "commercial items"
consisting of "commercial software" and "commercial
software documentation" with only those rights as are
granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and
conditions herein.
13. APPLICABLE LAW. This EULA is governed by the laws of
TEXAS, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. This
243
EULA shall not be governed by the UN Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application
of which is expressly excluded. If a dispute, controversy or
difference is not amicably settled, it shall be finally resolved
by arbitration in Seoul, Korea in accordance with the
Arbitration Rules of the Korean Commercial Arbitration
Board. The award of arbitration shall be final and binding
upon the parties.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY. This EULA is the
entire agreement between you and Samsung relating to the
Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral
or written communications, proposals and representations
with respect to the Software or any other subject matter
covered by this EULA. If any provision of this EULA is held to
be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions
shall continue in full force and effect.
