Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing

Excessive exposure t o sound at high volum es can cause hearing dam age.
Always t urn t he volum e down before plugging the earphones into an audio source and
use only t he m inim um volum e set ting necessary t o hear your conv ersat ion or m usic.
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 posure t o Radio Freque ncy ( RF) Sign a ls
Ce rt ifica t ion I n form a t ion ( SAR)
Your w ireless phone is a radio t ransm it ter and receiver. I t is designed and

m anufact ured not t o exceed t he exposur e lim it s for r adio frequency ( RF)
energy set by t he 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 t wo expert organizations, t he Nat ional Counsel on
Radiation Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and the I nst itut e of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineer s ( I EEE) . I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endat ions were developed by scient ific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, governm ent, and academ ia after extensive reviews
of the scientific literat ure relat ed t o t he biological effect s of RF energy.
The exposure lim it set by t he FCC for wireless m obile phones em ploys a
unit of m easurem ent known as the Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR) . The
SAR is a m easure of t he rat e of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in unit s of watt s per k ilogr am ( W/ kg) . The FCC requir es
wireless phones t o com ply with a safet y lim it of 1.6 w at t s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC ex posur e lim it incor por at es a subst antial m ar gin of
safety t o give addit ional protection t o t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ents.
SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing posit ions accept ed by
the FCC wit h t he phone transm it ting at it s highest cert ified power level in
all t ested frequency bands. Alt hough the SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
certified power level, t he act ual SAR level of t he phone while operat ing
can be well below the m axim um value. This is because the phone is
designed t o operat e at m ultiple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required to reach the net work. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base st at ion antenna, t he lower the power out put.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale t o the public, it m ust be
tested and certified t o the FCC that 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 locat ions ( e. g. at t he ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC.
For body worn operat ion, t his m odel phone has been tested and m eets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Sam sung accessory
designat ed for this product or when used wit h an accessory that contains
no m et al and that positions t he handset a m inim um of 1.5 cm from the
body.
Non- com pliance wit h the above rest rict ions m ay result in violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
SAR inform at ion on t his and other m odel phones can be view ed on- line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This sit e uses the phone FCC I D num ber,
A3LSCHU485. Som et im es it m ay be necessary to rem ove t he bat tery pack
to find t he num ber. Once you have t he FCC I D num ber for a particular
phone, follow t he instructions on the websit e and it should provide values
for t ypical or m axim um SAR for a particular phone. Addit ional product

Con su m e r I nfor m at ion on W ir e le ss Ph on es
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist ration ( FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relat ing to radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publicat ion includes t he
following inform at ion:
W hat k inds of phone s a r e t h e su bj e ct of t h is u pd at e?
The t erm 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 t o m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of the short distance bet ween t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safety guidelines t hat were developed wit h
the advice of FDA and ot her federal health and safety agencies. When the
phone is locat ed at great er distances from the user, the exposure t o RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing dist ance from the source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected t o t he t elephone wiring in a house,
typically operat e at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin the FCC's com pliance lim it s.
Do w ir e less phone s pose a healt h hazard?
The available scient ific evidence does not show that any healt h problem s
are associat ed wit h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
that wireless phones are absolut ely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels
of radio frequency energy (RF) in the m icrowave range while being used.
They also em it very low levels of RF w hen in t he st and- by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce healt h effect s ( by heat ing t issue) , exposur e
to low level RF that does not produce heating effect s causes no known
adverse healt h effect s. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Som e st udies have suggest ed that som e
biological effect s m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed
by additional research. I n som e cases, other researchers have had
difficult y in reproducing t hose st udies, or in det er m ining t he r easons for
inconsist ent result s.
W hat is FDA's role conce r ning t he sa fet y of w ir e le ss p hone s?
Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safet y of radiat ion- em it t ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it
does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut hority t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown to em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous to t he user. I n such a
case, FDA could require the m anufacturers of wireless phones to not ify
users of t he healt h hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so
that t he hazard no longer exist s.
Although the exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA r egulat or y act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry t o t ake a num ber of st eps,
including the following:

“ Support needed r esear ch int o possible biological effects of RF of
the t ype 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
“ Cooperat e in prov iding users of wireless phones wit h t he best
possible inform at ion on possible effect s of wireless phone use on
hum an health.
FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies t hat
have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safety t o ensure coordinated
efforts at t he federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working
group:
“ Nat ional I nst it ut e for Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h
“ Envir onm ental 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 inist rat ion
The Nat ional I nst it ut es of Healt h par t icipat es in som e int eragency working
group act ivit ies, as well.
FDA shares regulat ory responsibilities for wireless phones wit h the Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) . All phones t hat are sold in t he Unit ed
St at es m ust com ply wit h FCC safet y guidelines t hat lim it RF exposure.
FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies for safety quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es the base stat ions that t he wireless phone net works
rely upon. While t hese base st at ions operate at higher power than do t he
wireless phones t hem selves, the RF exposures t hat people get from these
base st at ions are t ypically t housands of tim es lower t han t hose they can
get from wireless phones. Base st at ions are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect
of the safet y questions discussed in t his docum ent .
W hat a r e t he r esult s of t h e re sea r ch done a lrea dy?
The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any
studies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m ethods. Anim al
experim ent s investigat ing t he effects of radio frequency energy ( RF)
exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
result s t hat oft en cannot be repeated in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al
studies, however, have suggest ed that low levels of RF could accelerat e
the developm ent of cancer in laboratory anim als. However, m any of t he
studies t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer- causing chem icals so
as t o be pre- disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Ot her
studies exposed the anim als to RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These
condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he condit ions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don't know wit h certaint y what t he results of such
studies m ean for hum an healt h.
Three large epidem iology st udies have been published since Decem ber

2000. Bet ween t hem , t he st udies investigat ed any possible associat ion
bet ween t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, gliom a,
m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, tum ors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he st udies dem onst rat ed t he
existence of any harm ful healt h effects from wireless phones RF
exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer questions about
long- t erm ex posur es, since t he average period of phone use in these
studies was around t hree years.
W hat r e se arch is n eede d t o de cide w hether RF ex posure from
w ireless phones poses a healt h risk ?
A com binat ion of laborat ory studies 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 pleted in a few
years. However, very large num bers of anim als would be needed to
provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exist s.
Epidem iological st udies can prov ide dat a that is direct ly applicable t o
hum an populat ions, but t en or m ore years' follow - up m ay be needed t o
provide answers about som e healt h effects, such as cancer. This is
because t he int erval bet ween t he t im e of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the t im e t um ors develop - if they do - m ay be m any, m any
years. The interpret at ion of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by
difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF exposur e during day - to- day use of
wireless phones. Many fact ors affect this m easurem ent , such as the angle
at which the phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used.
W hat is FDA doing t o find out m or e a bou t t h e possible h e alt h
effect s of w irele ss phone RF?
FDA is working wit h the U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h
groups of invest igators around t he world to ensure t hat high priorit y
anim al st udies are conduct ed to address im portant quest ions about t he
effects of exposure t o radio fr equency ener gy ( RF) .
FDA has been a leading participant in t he World Healt h Organizat ion
int ernat ional Elect r om agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in
1996. An influential result of t his work has been t he developm ent of a
det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven the est ablishm ent of
new research program s around the world. The Proj ect has also helped
develop a series of public inform at ion docum ent s on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecom m unications & I nt ernet Associat ion ( CTI A) have
a form al Cooperat ive Research and Dev elopm ent Agr eem ent ( CRADA) t o
do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides the scient ific
oversight, obt aining input from experts in governm ent , indust ry, and
academ ic organizations. CTI A- funded research is conduct ed t hrough
cont racts t o independent invest igators. The init ial research will include
both laborat ory st udies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessm ent of addit ional research needs in the
cont ext of t he lat est research developm ents around the world.

W hat st e ps ca n I t a k e t o r edu ce m y e x posu r e t o r adio f requ ency
energy from m y w ireless phone?
I f there is a risk from t hese product s - and at t his point we do not know
that t here is - it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even pot ential risks, you can take a few sim ple steps t o m inim ize
your ex posur e t o r adio fr equency ener gy ( RF) . Since t im e is a key fact or
in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing the am ount of tim e
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
“ I f you m ust conduct extended conversat ions by wireless phone
every day, you could place m ore dist ance bet ween your body and
the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dram atically with dist ance.
Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e t hat wireless phones are
harm ful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these
product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above t o reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
W hat about children using w ireless phone s?
The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless
phones, including children and teenagers. I f you want to t ake st eps t o
lower exposure to radio frequency ener gy ( RF) , t he m easur es descr ibed
above would apply t o children and t eenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing t he tim e of wireless phone use and increasing the dist ance
bet ween the user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Som e groups sponsored by ot her nat ional governm ents have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple,
the governm ent in t he United Kingdom distribut ed leaflet s containing such
a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed that no evidence exist s
that using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or other ill effect s. Their
recom m endat ion t o lim it wireless phone use by children was st rictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence t hat any health
hazard exist s.
Do hands- free kit s for w ireless phones reduce risk s from e x posure
t o RF e m ission s?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands- fr ee kit s reduce
risk s. Hands- fr ee kit s can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and com fort. These syst em s reduce t he absorpt ion of RF energy in t he
head because t he phone, which is the source of the RF em issions, will not
be placed against t he head. On the ot her hand, if the phone is m ount ed
against t he waist or ot her part of the body during use, t hen that part of
the body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in the
U.S. are required to m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whet her they
are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configuration should
result in com pliance wit h the safet y lim it.
Do w ir e le ss phone accessories t h a t cla im t o sh ie ld t he h ea d from

RF r adia t ion w ork?
Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from
wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat accessories that claim
to shield t he head from those em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat
claim to shield the user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while
ot hers involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at tached t o t he
phone. St udies have shown t hat t hese products generally do not work as
advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kits, t hese so- called “ shields” m ay int er fere
wit h proper operat ion of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced to boost it s
power t o com pensat e, leading to an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n
Febr uar y 2 002, t he Feder al t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged t w o
com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed t o protect wireless phone users
from radiation wit h m aking false and unsubstant iat ed claim s. According t o
FTC, these defendant s lacked a reasonable basis t o subst antiat e t heir
claim .
W hat about w irele ss phon e int erference w it h m edica l e quipm ent ?
Radio frequency energy ( RF) fr om w ir eless phones can int eract w it h som e
elect ronic devices. For t his reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed test
m et hod t o m easure elect rom agnetic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed
cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless t elephones. 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 inst rum ent at ion ( AAMI ) . The final draft , a j oint
effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any ot her groups,
was com plet ed in lat e 2000. This standard will allow m anufacturers t o
ensure t hat cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless
phone EMI . FDA has t ested wireless phones and helped develop a
volunt ary st andard sponsored by the I nstit ut e of Elect rical and Elect ronic
Engineer s ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m ethods and perform ance
requirem ents 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 t o m onit or t he use of wireless phones for possible
int eract ions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful interference be
found t o occur, FDA will conduct t est ing to assess t he interference and
work t o resolve the problem .

Road Sa fe t y
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful abilit y to com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im e. But an im portant responsibilit y
accom panies t he benefit s of wireless phones, one t hat every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibilit y. When using your
wireless phone behind t he wheel of a car, practice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he following t ips:
1. Get t o know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese features help you t o place your
call wit hout t aking your at t ention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safet y to your wireless phone
wit h one of the m any hands free accessories available today.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone wit hout rem oving your eyes from the road. I f
you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient tim e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let t he person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy traffic or hazardous weat her
condit ions. Rain, sleet , snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not t ake not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jot ting
down a “ t o do” list or flipping through your address book t akes
att ent ion away from your prim ary responsibilit y, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not m oving or before pulling int o t raffic. Try to plan calls
when your car will be stat ionary. I f you need to m ake a call while
m oving, dial only a few num bers, check t he road and your m irrors,
then cont inue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em otional conversat ions that m ay be
distract ing. Make people you are talking wit h aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he pot ential to divert your
att ent ion from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9- 1- 1 or ot her local

em ergency num ber in t he case of fire, traffic accident or m edical
em ergencies. Rem em ber, it is a free call on your wireless phone!

Ba t t e ry St a n dby a n d Ta lk Tim e
St andby and talk tim es will vary depending on phone usage patt erns and
condit ions. Bat tery power consum pt ion depends on fact ors such as
network configurat ion, signal strengt h, operat ing tem perat ure, feat ures
select ed, frequency of calls, and voice, dat a, and other application usage
pat terns.
Ba t t e ry Pr e ca u t ions
Never use any charger or bat t ery that is dam aged in any way.
Use t he batt ery only for it s int ended purpose.
I f you use t he phone near t he net work's base st ation, it uses less
power; t alk and st andby t im e are great ly affect ed by t he signal

strengt h on the cellular network and t he param et ers set by t he
network operat or.
Bat tery charging tim e depends on the rem aining bat tery charge
and t he type of batt ery and charger used. The bat tery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of t im es, but it w ill gr adually
wear out. When the operat ion tim e ( talk t im e and st andby tim e) is
not iceably shorter than norm al, it is t im e t o buy a new bat tery.
I f left unused, a fully charged bat tery will discharge itself over t im e.
Use only Sam sung- appr ov ed bat t eries and recharge your bat tery
only wit h Sam sung- appr ov ed char ger s. When a char ger is not in
use, disconnect it from t he power source. Do not leave the batt ery
connect ed to a charger for m ore than a week, since overcharging
m ay shor t en it s life.
