Always turn the volum e down before plugging t he earphones into an audio source and
use only t he m inim um volu m e set t ing necessar y t o hear your conv er sat ion or m u sic.
Install mobile phones and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle are
securely mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag
deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury
when air bags inflate rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically designed for
your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries
or damage to your phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when disposing used batteries or phones.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave
ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high
external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones and pacemakers to
avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers and the
independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you have any reason
to suspect that your phone is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device,
turn off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or
medical device for guidance.
Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or
chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning signs or instructions.
Your phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or chemical storage
and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases,
or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or
accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone with
a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the number of
keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent
breaks.

Safety precautions
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all regulations that restrict the use of
mobile phones while driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your safety
when possible.
Follow all safety warnings and regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a mobile phone in a certain area.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your phone or cause injury.
Turn off the phone near medical equipment
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities.
Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel.
Turn off the phone or disable the wireless functions when in an aircraft
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline
regulations and turn off your phone or switch to a mode that disables the wireless
functions when directed by airline personnel.
Protect batteries and chargers from damage
Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or
above 45° C/ 113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity and
life of your batteries.
Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a connection
between the + and - terminals of your batteries and lead to temporary or permanent
battery damage.
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Handle your phone carefully and sensibly
Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage. Do not
handle your phone with wet hands. Water damage to your phone can void your
manufacturer’s warranty.
Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to
moving parts.
Your phone is a complex electronic device— protect it from impacts and
rough handling to avoid serious damage.
Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or
animals.
Your phone and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to magnetic
fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or
allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended

periods of time.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or
improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids,
medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the
manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you
experience.
Important usage information
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in damage to your
phone and will void your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten
battery life.
Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.
Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care
Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing
information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or
phone.
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from
other devices.
Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards.
Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal
objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or
circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate
method of contacting emergency services personnel.

Ex posur e t o Radio Frequency ( RF) Signa ls
Cer t ifica t ion I n for m a t ion ( SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio t r ansm it t er and r eceiv er. I t is designed and

m anufact ur ed not t o ex ceed t he exposur e lim it s for r adio f requency ( RF)
energy set by the Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission (FCC) of t he U.S.
governm ent . These FCC exposure lim it s are derived from t he
recom m endat ions of two exper t organizat ions, the Nat ional Counsel on
Radiat ion Prot ect ion and Measur em ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst it ut e of
Elect rical and Elect r onics Engineer s ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endat ions w ere developed by scient ific and engineering expert s
drawn from indust ry, governm ent , and academ ia aft er extensive reviews
of t he scient ific lit erat ure r elated t o t he biological effect s of RF energy.
The exposure lim it set by t he FCC for wir eless m obile phones em ploys a
unit of m easu rem ent k nown as t he Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR) . The
SAR is a measure of t he r ate of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body ex pressed in unit s of w at t s per k ilogram ( W/ k g) . The FCC r equires
wireless phones to com ply with a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporat es a substant ial m ar gin of
safet y t o give addit ional protection t o t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easur em ent s.
SAR t est s are conducted using st andard operating posit ions accepted by
the FCC wit h t he phone t ransm itting at its highest cert ified power level in
all test ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because the phone is
designed t o operat e at m u lt iple power levels so as t o use only t he pow er
required t o reach the network. I n general, t he closer you are to a wireless
base st at ion an tenna, t he lower t he power output .
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o t he public, it m ust be
test ed and cert ified t o the FCC t hat it does not exceed t he exposure lim it
est ablished by t he FCC. Tests for each m odel phone are perform ed in
posit ions and locations ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on the body) as required
by t he FCC.
For body worn operat ion, t his m odel phone has been t ested and m eet s

Con sum er I nfor m a t ion on W irele ss Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inistrat ion ( FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relating to radio frequency ( RF)
exposur e from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the
follow ing infor m at ion:
W ha t k inds of phones are t he su bj ect of t h is upda t e?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones wit h
built-in ant ennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose t he user to m easurable radio
fr equency energy ( RF) because of t he shor t dist ance bet w een t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim ited by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safety guidelines t hat were developed with
the advice of FDA and other federal health and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is locat ed at greater dist ances from t he user, t he exposure to RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing dist ance from the source. The so-called “ cor dless phones,”
which have a base unit connected t o t he t elephone wiring in a house,
typically oper ate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF
exposures well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim its.
D o w ir ele ss ph on es pose a h ea lt h h a za r d?
The available scient ific evidence does not show that any healt h problem s
are associated w ith using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that wir eless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels
of radio frequency energy ( RF) in t he m icrowave range while being used.
They also em it very low lev els of RF w hen in t he st an d-by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can pr oduce healt h effect s ( by heat ing t issue) , exposur e
t o low lev el RF t hat does not pr oduce heat ing effect s causes no know n
adverse health effects. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effect s. Som e st udies have suggest ed t hat som e
biological effects m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed
by additional research. I n som e cases, ot her researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those st udies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for
inconsist ent results.
W ha t is FDA's r ole concer ning t he safe t y of w ir eless phones?
Under the law , FDA does not review t he safet y of radiation-em it t ing
consum er products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or m edical devices. However , the agency has
aut horit y t o t ake act ion if wireless phones ar e shown t o em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level that is hazardous t o the user. I n such a
case, FDA could require the m anufact urers of wireless phones t o not ify
users of t he healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so
that t he hazard no longer exists.
Alt hough t he ex ist in g scient ific dat a do not j ust if y FDA r egulat ory act ions,
FDA has ur ged t he wireless phone industry t o t ake a num ber of st eps,
including t he following:

“ Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of
the type em itt ed by wireless phones;
“ Design wireless phones in a way t hat m inim izes any RF exposure
to t he user t hat is not necessary for device funct ion; and
“ Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with t he best
possible infor m at ion on possible effect s of w ir eless phone use on
hum an health.
FDA belongs t o an interagency working group of t he federal agencies t hat
have r esponsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y to ensure coordinat ed
effort s at the federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working
group:
“ Nat ional I nst it ut e f or Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h
“ Env ironm ent al Prot ect ion Agency
“ Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission
“ Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h Adm inist rat ion
“ Nat ional Telecom m unications and I nform ation Adm inistrat ion
The Nat ional I nstitut es of Health participates in som e int eragency working
group act ivit ies, as w ell.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilit ies for wireless phones with t he Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) . All phones t hat ar e sold in t he United
St ates m ust com ply with FCC safety guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es t he base stat ions that t he wireless phone networks
rely upon. While these base st ations operate at higher power t han do t he
wireless phones them selves, t he RF exposures that people get from t hese
base st ations are t ypically t housands of t im es lower than those t hey can
get from wireless phones. Base st ations are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect
of the safet y quest ions discussed in this docum ent .
W ha t are t he result s of t he r e sea r ch done a lr e a dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflicting results, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir r esear ch m ethods. Anim al
ex per im ent s inv est igat ing t he effect s of r adio fr equency energy ( RF)
exposures charact er ist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
results t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggest ed that low levels of RF could accelerate
the developm ent of cancer in laborat or y anim als. However, m any of t he
studies t hat showed increased tum or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or treated wit h cancer-causing chem icals so
as t o be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
studies exposed t he anim als to RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so w e don't know with certaint y what the results of such
studies m ean for hum an health.
Three large epidem iology studies have been published since Decem ber

2000. Bet ween t hem , t he studies invest igat ed any possible associat ion
bet ween t he use of w ireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, t um ors of t he brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or other cancers. None of t he studies dem onstr ated t he
existence of any har m ful healt h effects from wireless phones RF
ex posur es. However, none of t he st udies can answ er quest ions about
long-t erm exposures, since the average period of phone use in these
st udies was around t hree years.
W ha t r ese a rch is n ee de d t o de cide w h et he r RF exposure fr om
w irele ss phones poses a hea lt h risk ?
A com binat ion of labor at ory st udies and epidem iological st udies of people
act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of the dat a t hat are
needed. Lifet im e anim al exposure st udies could be com plet ed in a few
years. However, very large num bers of anim als would be needed t o
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is direct ly applicable t o
hum an populat ions, but t en or m ore years' follow-up m ay be needed to
provide answers about som e healt h effect s, such as cancer. This is
because t he interval bet ween the tim e of exposure t o a cancer-causing
agent and t he t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The int erpretat ion of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by
difficult ies in m easur ing act ual RF ex posur e during day -to-day use of
wireless phones. Many fact or s affect t his m easurem ent , such as t he angle
at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W ha t is FD A doing t o f in d ou t m or e a bou t t h e p ossible h ea lt h
effe ct s of w ir eless phone RF?
FDA is w or king w it h t he U. S. Nat ional Toxicology Pr ogr am and w it h
groups of inv est igat ors ar ound t he w orld t o ensur e t hat high pr ior it y
anim al st udies ar e conduct ed t o address im port ant quest ions about the
effect s of exposur e t o r adio fr equency energy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading part icipant in t he World Health Organizat ion
int er nat ional Elect r om agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Pr oj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influent ial result of this work has been t he developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of r esear ch needs that has driven t he est ablishm ent of
new research program s around t he world. The Proj ect has also helped
develop a series of public inform ation docum ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nt ernet Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperativ e Research and Developm ent Agr eem ent ( CRADA) t o
do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific
over sight , obt ain ing input fr om expert s in governm ent , indu st ry, and
academ ic organizat ions. CTI A-funded research is conduct ed t hrough
cont ract s t o independent invest igator s. The init ial r esearch w ill include
both labor atory studies and st udies of wireless phone user s. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of additional research needs in the
cont ex t of t he lat est r esearch dev elopm ent s ar ound t he world.

W h a t st e ps ca n I t a ke t o r e duce m y e xposu re t o r a dio fr e que ncy
ener gy fr om m y w irele ss ph on e?
I f t here is a risk from t hese products - and at this point we do not know
that t her e is - it is probably very sm all. But if you ar e concerned about
avoiding even potential r isks, you can t ake a few sim ple st eps t o m inim ize
your ex posur e t o r adio fr equency energy ( RF) . Since t im e is a key fact or
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing the am ount of t im e
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
“ I f you m ust conduct ex tended conversat ions by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore dist ance bet w een your body and
the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dram atically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connect ed t o a rem ote ant enna.
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e t hat w ir eless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from t hese
product s, you can use m easures like those described above to reduce
your RF exposure from w ireless phone use.
W ha t about childr en using w ir e less ph on es?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless
phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o take st eps t o
low er exposur e t o radio fr equency ener gy ( RF) , t he m easur es descr ibed
above would apply t o children and t eenagers using w ireless phones.
Reducing t he t im e of w ir eless phone use and increasing t he dist ance
bet ween t he user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by ot her nat ional governm ent s have advised t hat
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he United Kingdom dist ributed leaflet s cont aining such
a recom m endation in Decem ber 2000. They noted t hat no evidence exists
that using a w ireless phone causes brain t um ors or other ill effects. Their
recom m endation t o lim it wireless phone use by children was strict ly
precaut ionar y; it w as not based on scient if ic evidence t hat any healt h
hazard exist s.
Do h a nds-fr ee k it s for w irele ss phone s redu ce r isks from e x posur e
t o RF e m issions?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions fr om
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands-free kits reduce
risks. Hands-free kit s can be used w ith wireless phones for convenience
and com fort . These system s reduce the absorpt ion of RF energy in t he
head because t he phone, which is the source of t he RF em issions, w ill not
be placed against t he head. On t he other hand, if t he phone is m ounted
against t he waist or other part of the body during use, then t hat part of
the body w ill absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arketed in t he
U.S. are required t o m eet safety requirem ent s regar dless of whet her t hey
are used against t he head or against t he body. Either configur ation should

result in com pliance wit h t he safety lim it.
D o w ir ele ss ph on e a cce ssor ies t h at claim t o shie ld t h e he a d fr om
RF r adia t ion w or k?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason to believe that accessories that claim
to shield t he head from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e products that
claim t o shield t he user fr om RF absor pt ion use special phone cases, w hile
ot her s involv e not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at t ached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat t hese pr oduct s generally do not w or k as
adv ert ised. Unlike “ hand-free” kits, t hese so-called “ shields” m ay int erfere
with proper operat ion of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced to boost its
power t o com pensate, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
February 2002, t he Feder al tr ade Com m ission ( FTC) charged two
com panies that sold devices that claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone user s
from r adiation with m aking false and unsubstant iated claim s. According t o
FTC, t hese defendant s lacked a reasonable basis to substantiat e t heir
claim .
W ha t a bou t w ir ele ss p hon e int e rf er en ce w it h m ed ica l e qu ipm en t ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wir eless phones can int eract with som e
elect ronic devices. For t his reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed t est
m et hod to m easure elect rom agnetic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors fr om wireless telephones. This t est
m et hod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Associat ion for t he
Advancem ent of Medical instrum ent at ion ( AAMI ) . The final draft, a j oint
effor t by FDA, m edical device m anufact ur ers, and m any ot her gr oups,
was com plet ed in late 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers to
ensure t hat cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has test ed wireless phones and helped develop a
voluntary st andard sponsored by the I nstit ut e of Elect rical and Electronic
Engineers ( I EEE). This standard specifies t est m ethods and perform ance
requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no int erference
occurs when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com patible hearing
aid at t he sam e t im e. This st andard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000.
FDA cont inues to m onitor the use of wireless phones for possible
int er act ions w it h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int er ference be
found t o occur , FDA will conduct t est ing t o assess t he int er fer ence and
work to resolve the problem .

Roa d Sa fe t y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y to com m unicate by
voice, alm ost anyw here, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibilit y
accom panies t he benefits of w ireless phones, one that every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibilit y. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, pr actice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he following t ips:
1. Get t o know your wireless phone and it s features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f av ailable, t hese feat ures help y ou t o place your
call w ithout t aking your attent ion off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. I f possible, add an
addit ional layer of convenience and safety t o your wireless phone
with one of t he m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Position your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able to access
your wireless phone w ithout rem oving your eyes from t he road. I f
you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient t im e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let t he person you are speaking wit h know you are dr iving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not t ake not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jot t ing
