Section 11: Health and Safety Information  
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the  
microwave frequency range. They also emit RF at substantially  
reduced time intervals 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.  
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using  
your phone. The terms “mobile device” or “cell phone” are used  
in this section to refer to your phone. Read this information before  
using your mobile device  
.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals  
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published  
information for consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF)  
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the  
following information:  
The biological effects of radio frequency energy should not be  
confused with the effects from other types of electromagnetic  
energy.  
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in  
X-rays and gamma rays, can ionize biological tissues. Ionization  
is a process where electrons are stripped away from their normal  
locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently damage  
biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.  
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?  
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause  
cancer or other serious health hazards. The weight of scientific  
evidence has not linked cell phones with any health problems.  
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over  
the past 15 years, scientists have conducted hundreds of studies  
looking at the biological effects of the radio frequency energy  
emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have reported  
biological changes associated with RF energy, these studies have  
failed to be replicated. The majority of studies published have  
failed to show an association between exposure to radio  
frequency from a cell phone and health problems.  
The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy,  
including both radio waves and microwaves, are not great  
enough to cause ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore,  
RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of  
non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation  
(heat), and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with  
relatively low frequencies.

While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can  
increase body temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two  
areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly  
vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood  
flow in them to carry away excess heat.  
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between RF  
and certain health problems?  
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition,  
attempts to replicate and confirm the few studies that have  
shown a connection have failed.  
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain  
cancer. In this study, most people had no increased risk of brain  
cancer from using cell phones. For people with the heaviest use  
of cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every  
day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a slight increase in  
brain cancer. However, the authors determined that biases and  
errors prevented any conclusions being drawn from this data.  
Additional information about Interphone can be found at  
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not  
answer all questions about cell phone safety. Additional research  
is being conducted around the world, and the FDA continues to  
monitor developments in this field.  
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the  
weight of scientific evidence does not show an association  
between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones and  
adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community has  
supported additional research to address gaps in knowledge.  
Some of these studies are described below.  
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)  
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring  
of a large group of people to determine if there are any health  
issues linked to long-term exposure to radio frequency energy  
from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow  
approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to  
30 years. Additional information about the COSMOS study can be  
Interphone Study  
Interphone is a large international study designed to determine  
whether cell phones increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A  
report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology  
(June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000  
people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar  
number of healthy controls.

Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards  
continue to adequately protect the public.

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other  
Accessories  
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy  
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy  
(RF) from cell phones - 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 RF exposure.  
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer  
statistics in the United States to detect any change in rates of  
new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for  
brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phone use  
has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987  
and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did  
not increase. Additional information about SEER can be found at  
.
Cell Phone Industry Actions  
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;  
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your  
head and the cell phone.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory  
actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry to take a  
number of steps, including the following:  
96  
 
Hands-Free Kits  
Studies have shown that these products generally do not work as  
advertised. Unlike “hands-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.  
®
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth headsets and  
various types of body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and  
holsters. Combinations of these can be used to reduce RF energy  
absorption from cell phones.  
Children and Cell Phones  
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone  
is held away from the head in the user's hand or in approved  
body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S. are  
required to meet RF exposure compliance requirements when  
used against the head and against the body.  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of  
cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers.  
The steps adults can take to reduce RF exposure apply to  
children and teenagers as well.  
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;  
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions  
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free  
kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for convenience  
and comfort. They are also required by law in many states if you  
want to use your phone while driving.  
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from RF  
Radiation  
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions  
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories  
which 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.  
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the  
head and the cell phone.  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have  
advised that children be discouraged from using cell phones at  
all. For example, The Stewart Report from the United Kingdom  
made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report,  
a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that  
using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their  
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly  
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any  
health hazard exists.  
Health and Safety Information

Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from various  
sources can be obtained from the following organizations  
(updated 10/1/2010):  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification  
Information  
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.  
FCC RF Safety Program:  
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):  
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the  
recommendations of two expert organizations: the National  
Council 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.  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):  
(Note: This web address is case sensitive.)  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH):  
World Health Organization (WHO):  
The RF 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).  
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection:  
Health Protection Agency:  
US Food and Drug Administration:  
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to  
give additional protection to the public and to account for any  
variations in measurements.  
http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/  
RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/  
98  
   
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 reported 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 of the  
phone.  
Head: 0.57 W/kg.  
Body-worn: 0.63 W/kg.  
SAR information on this and other model phones can be  
accessed online on the FCC's website through http://  
transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that  
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 SAR information can also be  
obtained at  
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 SAR 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 mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm from  
the body.  
.
FCC Part 15 Information to User  
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are cautioned that  
changes or modifications not expressly approved by Samsung  
could void your authority to operate the device.  
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:

Smart Practices While Driving  
On the Road - Off the Phone  
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of  
his or her vehicle.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in  
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful  
interference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of  
the following measures:  
Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task should be  
performed while driving whether it be eating, drinking, talking to  
passengers, or talking on a mobile phone - unless the driver has  
assessed the driving conditions and is confident that the  
secondary task will not interfere with their primary responsibility.  
Do not engage in any activity while driving a moving vehicle which  
may cause you to take your eyes off the road or become so  
absorbed in the activity that your ability to concentrate on the act  
of driving becomes impaired. Samsung is committed to promoting  
responsible driving and giving drivers the tools they need to  
understand and address distractions.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and  
their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.  
The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain  
areas. For example, only hands-free use may be permitted in  
certain areas.  
Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS)  
This device is designed to receive wireless emergency alerts  
from the Commercial Mobile Alerting System ("CMAS"; which  
may also be known as the Personal Localized Alerting Network  
("PLAN")). If your wireless provider has chosen to participate in

Before answering calls, consider your circumstances. Let the call  
go to voicemail when driving conditions require. Remember,  
driving comes first, not the call!  
Never mount this device in a manner that will obstruct the  
driver's clear view of the street and traffic.  
Never use wireless data services such as text messaging, Web  
browsing, or e-mail while operating a vehicle.  
If you consider a call necessary and appropriate, follow these  
tips:  
Never watch videos, such as a movie or clip, or play video games  
while operating a vehicle.  
Use a hands-free device;  
Secure your phone within easy reach;  
Place calls when you are not moving;  
Plan calls when your car will be stationary;  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations;

Battery Use and Safety  
Important! Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or  
damage. Most battery issues arise from improper  
handling of batteries and, particularly, from the  
continued use of damaged batteries.  
Let the person with whom you are speaking know that you are driving  
and will suspend the call if necessary;  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving;  
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt  
to change the form of your battery. Do not put a high degree of  
pressure on the battery. This can cause leakage or an internal  
short-circuit, resulting in overheating.  
Notice regarding legal restrictions on mounting this device in an  
automobile:  
Laws in some states may prohibit mounting this device on or  
near the windshield of an automobile. In other states, the law  
may permit mounting this device only in specific locations in the  
automobile. Be sure to consult the state and local laws or  
ordinances where you drive before mounting this device in an  
automobile. Failure to comply with these restrictions could result  
in fines, penalties, or other damages.  
Health and Safety Information  
101  
   
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with liquids.  
Liquids can get into the phone's circuits, leading to corrosion. Even  
when the phone appears to be dry and appears to operate normally,  
the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard. If the  
phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your service  
provider or contact Samsung, even if they appear to be working  
properly.  
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.  
Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Accidental  
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, key, jewelry,  
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 place your battery in or near a heat source. Excessive  
heating can damage the phone or the battery and could cause the  
phone or the battery to explode. Do not dry a wet or damp battery with  
an appliance or heat source such as a microwave oven, hair dryer,  
iron, or radiator. Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high  
temperatures.  
Important! Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge  
your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers  
which are specifically designed for your phone.  
WARNING!  
Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present a  
risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Samsung's  
warranty does not cover damage to the phone caused by  
non-Samsung-approved batteries and/or chargers.  
Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire. The phone or  
the battery may explode when overheated.  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not let leaking  
battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For safe  
disposal options, contact your nearest Samsung-authorized service  
center.  
Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some  
websites 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.  
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone or the battery,  
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.

GPS & AGPS  
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global Positioning  
System (GPS) signal for location-based applications. A GPS uses  
satellites controlled by the U.S. Government that are subject to  
changes implemented in accordance with the Department of  
Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP).  
Changes may affect the performance of location-based  
technology on your mobile device.  
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls  
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may  
activate AGPS technology in your mobile device to tell the  
emergency responders your approximate location.  
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:  
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an Assisted Global  
Positioning System (AGPS), which obtains information from the  
cellular network to improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your  
wireless service provider's network and therefore airtime, data  
charges, and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with  
your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for  
details.  
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your  
ability; and  
Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency responder  
instructs you.  
Navigation  
Maps, directions, and other navigation-data, including data  
relating to your current location, may contain inaccurate or  
incomplete data, and circumstances can and do change over  
time. In some areas, complete information may not be available.  
Therefore, you should always visually confirm that the  
navigational instructions are consistent with what you see before  
following them. All users should pay attention to road conditions,  
closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact safe driving  
Your Location  
Location-based information includes information that can be  
used to determine the approximate location of a mobile device.  
Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless network

If certain features are in use (call blocking, for example), you may  
first need to deactivate those features before you can make an  
emergency call. Consult your User Manual 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 mobile 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.  
Emergency Calls  
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates  
using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, as well as  
user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection  
in all conditions, areas, or circumstances.  
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless mobile  
device for essential communications (medical emergencies, for  
example). Before traveling in remote or underdeveloped areas,  
plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services  
personnel. Remember, to make or receive any calls, the mobile  
device must be switched on and in a service area with adequate  
signal strength.  
Care and Maintenance  
Your mobile device 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:  
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless mobile  
device networks or when certain network services and/or mobile  
device features are in use. Check with local service providers.  
Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:  
Liquids of any kind  
To make an emergency call:  
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and  
liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If  
the mobile device does get wet, do not accelerate drying with  
the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may  
damage the mobile device and could cause a fire or  
explosion.  
1. If the mobile 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 the “Send” key.  
Do not use the mobile device with a wet hand. Doing so may  
cause an electric shock to you or damage to the mobile  
device.  
106  
       
Extreme heat or cold  
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  
cell phones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead  
to permanent noise-induced hearing loss.  
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F.  
Microwaves  
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven.  
Doing so may cause a fire or explosion.  
Dust and dirt  
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.  
This includes the use of headphones (including headsets,  
earbuds, and Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to  
Cleaning solutions  
®
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong  
detergents to clean the mobile device. Wipe it with a soft  
cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.  
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 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.  
Shock or vibration  
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough  
handling can break internal circuit boards.  
Paint  
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the device’s  
moving parts or ventilation openings and prevent proper  
operation.  
You should follow some common sense recommendations when  
using any portable audio device:  
Responsible Listening  
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an  
audio source.  
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss

Potentially Explosive Environments  
For more information see: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-  
.
Switch your mobile 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 mobile  
device off while at a refueling point (service station).  
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 mobile  
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.  
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.  
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 before  
using your mobile device in a motor vehicle. You should also  
consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added  
to your vehicle.  
Posted Facilities  
Switch your mobile device off in any facility where posted notices  
require you to do so.  
When your Device is Wet  
Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on,  
turn it off and remove the battery immediately (if the device will  
not turn off or you cannot remove the battery, leave it as-is).  
Then, dry the device with a towel and take it to a service center.

M-Ratings: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC  
requirements and are likely to generate less interference to  
hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is  
the better/higher of the two ratings. M-ratings refer to enabling  
acoustic coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil  
mode.  
FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)  
Regulations for Wireless Devices  
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has  
established requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be  
compatible with hearing aids and other assistive hearing devices.  
When individuals employing some assistive hearing devices  
(hearing aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile  
devices, they may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the amount of  
interference they generate.  
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements  
and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices  
than mobile devices that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher  
of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to enabling inductive coupling  
with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode.  
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid  
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 wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system  
for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device users find  
mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing  
devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices  
that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on  
the box.  
Under the current industry standard, American National  
Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless  
mobile device rating values are added together to indicate how  
usable they are together. For example, if a hearing aid meets the  
M2 level rating and the wireless mobile device meets the M3  
level rating, the sum of the two values equals M5.  
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 mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile  
device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for  
your personal needs.  
Health and Safety Information  
111  
   
Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with  
normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular  
wireless mobile device. A sum of 6 or more would indicate  
excellent performance.  
Restricting Children's Access to Your Mobile  
Device  
Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with  
it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the  
mobile device, or make calls that increase your mobile device  
bill.  
However, these are not guarantees that all users will be satisfied.  
T ratings work similarly.  
Keep the mobile device and all its parts and accessories out of  
the reach of small children.  
FCC Notice and Cautions  
FCC Notice  
The mobile device may cause TV or radio interference if used in  
close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you  
to stop using the mobile device 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 Protection Association.

Any changes or modifications to your mobile device 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  
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the  
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.  
112  
       
any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the  
mobile device warranty if said accessories cause damage or a  
defect to the mobile device.  
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag  
inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or  
portable wireless equipment near or 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 mobile device off before boarding an aircraft. The use of  
wireless mobile devices in aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to  
the aircraft's operation. Check with appropriate authorities before  
using any function of a mobile device while on an aircraft.  
Although your mobile device 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 mobile device or install the  
mobile device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be  
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to the device.  
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or  
denial of cell phone services to the offender, or legal action, or both.  
Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment installed in your  
vehicle are securely mounted.  
While using your device, leave some lights on in the room and do not  
hold the screen too close to your eyes.  
Check regularly that all wireless mobile device equipment in your  
vehicle is mounted and operating properly.  
Seizures or blackouts can occur when you are exposed to flashing  
lights while watching videos or playing games for extended periods. If  
you feel any discomfort, stop using the device immediately.  
When using a headset in dry environments, static electricity can build  
up in the headset and cause a small quick static electrical shock. To  
minimize the risk of electrostatic discharge from the headset avoid  
using the headset in extremely dry environments or touch a grounded  
unpainted metal object to discharge static electricity before inserting  
the headset.  
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials  
in the same compartment as the mobile device, its parts, or  
accessories.  
Health and Safety Information  
113  
   
Reduce risk of repetitive motion injuries. When you repetitively  
perform actions, such as pressing keys, drawing characters on a  
touch screen with your fingers, or playing games, you may experience  
occasional discomfort in your hands, neck, shoulders, or other parts of  
your body. When using your device for extended periods, hold the  
device with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, and take frequent  
breaks. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use,  
stop use and see a physician.  
If your device has a camera flash or light, do not use the flash or light  
close to the eyes of people or pets. [122011]
