input method.
•
Samsung keypad: The Samsung keypad is a virtual QWERTY
keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen.
Samsung keypad includes optional XT9 predictive text, which matches
your key touches to common words so that you can select the word to
enter it into your text.
ᮣ
Touch and hold on a text input field, then select an input
method.
•
•
Swype: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter
words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting
your finger between words. You can also enable Word prediction,
which matches your key touches to common words.
Voice input: The virtual QWERTY input methods offer optional voice
input, so you can speak text to enter.
48
Here are a few tips to get you started:
Entering Text Using Swype
•
Spacing is automatic: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and
start the next word.
Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide
to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.
•
•
Double letters: Just “scribble” on the key.
Capitalization: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of
sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that isn’t at the beginning
of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the
next letter.
This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your finger
down on the “t”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the
“i” then over to the “s”.
•
Contractions: Swype recognizes most words that include an
apostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including the
apostrophe.
•
•
•
Punctuation: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and
make a selection.
Accented characters: Just glide through the letters of the word.
Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.
Error correction: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word you
want to change.

Section 13: 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

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.
Health and Safety Information

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.
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
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.
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.

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

Cell Phone Industry Actions
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:
Health and Safety Information
115
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.
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.
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.

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection:
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).
Health Protection Agency:
US Food and Drug Administration:

RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/
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.
Health and Safety Information
117
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.
The maximum SAR values as listed on the FCC equipment
auathorization are:
Head: 0.62 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.94 W/Kg.
Product specific use: 1.17 W/Kg.
Simultaneous Transmission: 1.23 W/Kg.

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

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 1.0 cm from
the body.

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.

.
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.
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.
Posted Facilities
Switch your mobile device off in any facility where posted notices
require you to do so.

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.
Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with
normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular
130
wireless mobile device. A sum of 6 or more would indicate
excellent performance.
may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone
that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids.
However, these are not guarantees that all users will be satisfied.
T ratings work similarly.
It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or
cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise.
Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone
for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider
or phone retailer.
