overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious  
bodily injury, death, or property damage.  
1. Press down on the rear cover (label side) with  
your thumbs, and while applying some  
pressure, slide the cover away.  
Note: Some phone features such as long backlight settings,

times. It is recommended that you watch your phone’s  
battery level indicator and charge the battery before it  
runs out of power.  
Charging the Battery  
Prior to your initial use of the phone, it is  
recommended that you fully charge your battery. If  
your battery level becomes too low, your phone

progress information. For a quick check of your  
phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge  
indicator located in the upper right corner of your  
display screen.

Section 15: 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.  
The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a  
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).  
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals  
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.  
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).  
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.  
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).  
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.  
69  
       
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance  
with FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
UL Certified Travel Adapter  
The Travel Adapter for this phone has met applicable  
UL safety requirements. Please adhere to the  
following safety instructions per UL 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:  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED  
MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND  
POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
Head: 0.872 W/Kg W/Kg.  
Body-worn: 0.683 W/Kg.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS.  
SAR information on this and other model phones can  
be viewed online at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. 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.  
DANGER - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR  
ELECTRIC SHOCK, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS.  
FOR CONNECTION TO A SUPPLY NOT IN NORTH  
AMERICA, USE AN ATTACHMENT PLUG ADAPTOR OF  
THE PROPER CONFIGURATION FOR THE POWER  
OUTLET. THIS POWER UNIT IS INTENDED TO BE  
CORRECTLY ORIENTATED IN A VERTICAL OR  
HORIZONTAL OR FLOOR MOUNT POSITION.  
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 also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.  
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:  
Samsung Mobile Products and

its customers to recycle Samsung mobile phones and  
genuine Samsung accessories.

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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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 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  
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  
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  
71  
the federal level. The following agencies belong to  
this working group:  
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.

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.  
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.  
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 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.  
However, none of the studies can answer questions  
about long-term exposures, since the average period  
of phone use in these studies was around three  
years.  
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

What research is needed to decide whether  
RF exposure from wireless phones poses a  
health risk?  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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?  
What is FDA doing to find out more about the  
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?  
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  
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).  
73  
a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent  
using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.  
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.  
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 use a headset and carry the wireless phone  
away from your body or use a wireless phone connected  
to a remote antenna.  
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.  
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.  
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to  
shield the head from RF radiation work?  
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  
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

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.

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.

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

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 Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to  
require digital wireless phones be compatible with  
hearing-aids.  
UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronic  
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.  
The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable  
access to telecommunications services for persons  
with hearing disabilities.  
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.  
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.  
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;  
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.  
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;  
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  
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.

personal needs. Your Virgin Mobile Slash phone by  
Samsung has an M4 rating and a T4 rating.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 ratings.  
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are  
described in the American National Standards  
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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 bodily injury or even  
death.  
To make an emergency call:  
1. If the phone 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.  
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.  
3. Press the  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
81  
   
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your  
vehicle is mounted and operating properly.  
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or  
explosive materials in the same compartment as the  
phone, its parts or accessories.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Cautions  
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the  
suspension or denial of telephone services to the  
offender, or legal action, or both.  
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.  
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.  
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  
If you're inside a building, being near a window may  
give you better reception.  
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.  
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  
Health and Safety Information  
82  
     
rechecks service availability or you can check it  
yourself by pressing any key.  
If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna,  
obstructing the internal antenna could inhibit call  
performance.  
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a  
message displays on the screen. When a signal is  
found, your phone returns to standby mode.  
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.  
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.  
Availability of Various Features/  
Ringtones  
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 Ringtones may be  
available at an additional cost. Other conditions and  
restrictions may apply. See your service provider for  
additional information.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold  
the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and  
over your shoulder.  
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.  
Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if  
applicable.  
Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.  
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any  
way.  
83  
     
Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could  
result in serious safety hazards.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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 not leave the battery connected to a charger  
for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its  
life.  
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 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  
Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in  
contact with metal objects, such as coins, keys or  
jewelry.  
manufacturer of the battery or charger.  
Health and Safety Information  
84  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Care and Maintenance  
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 the phone and violate regulations governing radio  
devices.  
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.  
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.  
Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the  
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.
