Installing the battery
Note: Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable
standard Li-Ion battery and travel adapter. The phone can be used while the

phone otherwise the battery could be damaged.
To attach the battery to your phone:
1. Gently place the battery into the provided slots on the underside of the
phone.
2. Gently push the top end of the battery down (The top end of the battery
displays the word Samsung in raised letters.) until you hear it click into

Removing the battery
To remove the battery from your phone:

2. Push the battery release latch up and pull the battery away from the latch.
3. Lift the battery away from the phone.
Charging the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery. Only use
Samsung-approved travel adaptors and batteries. These adaptors are designed
to maximize battery life. Using other adaptors may invalidate your
warranty and may cause damage.
When the phone has finished charging it can be disconnected.
Travel adapter
Use the adaptor outlet to connect your phone to a wireless data device or a
hands-free car kit (both sold separately). The adaptor outlet is located at the
bottom of the phone.
Using the travel adaptor
The travel adaptor allows you to charge your phone’s battery from any standard
110/220 free volt AC wall outlet. Also, using the travel adaptor allows you to
make a phone call while the battery is charging.
Follow these steps to use you travel adapter:
1. With the battery in position in the phone, attach the cord from the travel
adaptor by plugging it into the adaptor outlet at the bottom of the phone.
2. Connect the adaptor to a standard 110/220 free volt AC wall outlet. The
battery will begin charging immediately, and the LED will light and
remain red.
3. The LED indicates the status of the battery being charged.
23
•Red indicates that the battery is charging.
•Green indicates that the battery is fully charged.
4. You can make a phone call when the phone is plugged into the travel
adaptor. The adaptor will continue to charge the battery even when you
are making the call.
Note: The battery charges faster when the phone is turned off.
Low battery indicator
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the
battery indicator (this icon
is located in the upper-right corner of the
display screen). The presence of all three bars indicate a full charge. No bars
(the battery icon is empty) means your battery must be charged.
24
The empty battery icon
Two to three minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the
phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon
(
), and sounding a tone. If you continue to operate the phone without
charging the battery, the phone will automatically turn off. If this happens, your
wireless call will be terminated. However, if you plug into a charging device,
you can continue your call. Be sure to monitor the battery strength icon and
make certain your battery is adequately charged.

Mobile 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

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. 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.

The first time you use the MiniBrowser, you will be prompted to go through a
security setup process that takes approximately three to five minutes.When the
security key is initially sent to the carrier, a unique value is created. If the

Usage guidelines:
All about performance and safety
Getting the Most Out of Your 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.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of 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.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described
below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982
standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More
than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government
104
health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing
the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August
1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE
standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
Note: 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.
•
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your
shoulder.
•
•
•
•
Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone’s antenna.
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
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’s inoperable, return it to a an authorized service provider or
call Customer Care for service.

Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving is illegal in some states. Even where it’s
not, it can divert your attention from driving. Remember that safety always
comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
•
•
•
•
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
•
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you
stationary or before pulling into traffic.
•
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert
your attention from the road.
Dial
to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your
wireless phone.
•
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
106
•
Call special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
Following Safety Guidelines
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with
the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF signals.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use
your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in
the air.
107
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a
blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should
be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:
•
•
•
•
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
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’s engine.
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.
Caring for the Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
108
•
•
•
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These
chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or
chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that
range from 32º F to 104º F
(0º C to 40º C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas,
such as the bathroom.
•
•
•
•
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period
of time.
•
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s
best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
32º F to 131º F (0º C to 55º C)
More than one month:
32º F to 104º F (0º C to 40º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest
Samsung-authorized service center.
109
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the
disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Acknowledging Special Precautions and FCC
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 Protection Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
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.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the Samsung supplied or approved carrying case,
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory, ensure that 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.
110
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All
phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But
when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less that the level
reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its
proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines.
Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial
margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
This wireless portable device has been shown to be capable of compliance for
localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general
population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and has
been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in
ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.3-1992.
Part 22 AMPS Mode - Head Max. SAR: 1.1860 W/Kg
Part 22 AMPS Mode - Body Max. SAR: 1.07 W/Kg

FDA Consumer Update
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 low levels of RF when in 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;
112
•
•
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user that it 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 a 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 Committee
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working
group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities about 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 wireless exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed
in this document.
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phones” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with
built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS”. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy
113
(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 phone wiring in a
house, typically operate at far lower per levels, and thus produce RF exposures
far below the FCC safety limits.
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 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, glaucoma, meningioma, or
acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health
effects from wireless phones RF exposures. However, none of the studies can
114
answer questions about long-term exposures, since 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 threat?
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. 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).
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 tis work has been the development of a detailed agenda
of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs
115
around the world. The project has also helped develop a series of public
information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the 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.
How can I find out how much radio frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures. FCC established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and other
federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for exposure from wireless
telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed by
the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes
into consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissue that absorb
energy from the wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have
effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each
model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)
gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your phone so
you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
116
What has FDA done to measure the radio frequency energy
coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a
technical standard for measuring the radio frequency energy (RF) exposure
from wireless phones and other wireless hand sets with the participation and
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, “Recommended
Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in
the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques,” sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the
rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR
test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole
body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of
matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone
complies with safety guidelines.
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 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
117
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 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 measured 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.
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
118
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical
device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed on late 2000.
This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld 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 assess the interference and work to resolve the
problem.

CTIA Safety Information
Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless hand held portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted
RF exposure 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 standard 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).
Antenna care
Use only the specified of 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.
120
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.
Driving
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 safety is your first responsibility.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against 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 hand-held 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:
121
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the pacemaker 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.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.) Optional for each
phone manufacturer.
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 has been added to your vehicle.
122
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 potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury of 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 transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liguefied
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.
For vehicles equipped with an airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
