Welcome to Jitterbug
Please read this agreement carefully concerning your Jitterbug phone and service, including the calling plan or plans that you've chosen, and keep it in a familiar place for easy reference.
By accepting this agreement, you are bound by its conditions. It covers important topics such as:
• how long it lasts;
• fees for early cancellation and
late payments;
• our rights to change its conditions
and your wireless service;
• limitations of liability, privacy;
• how you should handle disputes
with us should they arise, including
the arbitration of disputes.
If you accept this agreement, it will apply to all of your services from GreatCall.

Your Calling Plans
YOUR CALLING PLANS BECOME PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. The prices you pay depend in part on how long a commitment
you make to be our customer.
Your Rights to Refuse or Cancel this Agreement
THIS AGREEMENT STARTS WHEN YOU ACCEPT. You accept when you do any of the following after reviewing this agree­ment:
Calling plans describe these prices and your minimum commitment. To the extent any condition in your calling plan expressly
conflicts with this agreement, the condition in your calling plan will govern. If at any time you change your service (by accepting a promotion, for example), you'll be subject to any requirements (such as a new minimum commitment period) we set for that change.
Use your service; Activate your service through our
customer service operator;
Give us a written or electronic sig-
nature indicating your acceptance; or
Tell us electronically that you
accept, such as through our Web site.
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO ACCEPT,
DON’T DO ANY OF THESE THINGS.
You can cancel without additional fees if: (1) you tell us, and (2) return any wireless phone and accessories to us in good con­dition; (3) before you have used 30 minutes of calling, all WITHIN 30 DAYS of receiving your Jitterbug phone. You'll still be respon­sible through that date for the new service and any charges associated with it.
72
73
Page 39
Your Rights to Change or End Your Service; Cancellation Charge
You're agreeing to maintain service with us for your minimum commitment period except as explicitly permitted by this agreement. Periods of suspension of service don’t count toward your minimum commitment period. As noted above, your minimum commitment period is described in your calling plan. After the end of your minimum commitment period, you'll become a month-to-month customer under this agreement.
An early cancellation fee of up to fifty percent (50%) of the balance of your service charges will be charged to you and due at the time of cancellation for the time remaining on your commitment for each wireless phone number that you cancel for any reason or if we stop your service early for good cause. (This fee applies only to the extent permitted by law). All cancellations by you during a monthly billing cycle become effective on the last day of that billing cycle. You'll remain responsible for all fees and charges incurred until then; partial month credits or refunds are not provided.
We May Make Changes
Your service is subject to our business requirements, including policies, practices, and procedures, which we can change without notice. UNLESS OTHERWISE PRO­HIBITED BY LAW, WE CAN ALSO CHANGE PRICES AND ANY OTHER CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME BY SENDING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE PRIOR TO THE BILLING PERIOD IN WHICH THE CHANGES WOULD GO INTO EFFECT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE YOUR SERVICE AFTER THAT POINT, YOU'RE ACCEPTING THE CHANGES. IF THE CHANGES HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOU, HOWEVER, YOU CAN END THE AFFECTED SERVICE, WITHOUT ANY EARLY CANCELLATION FEE, JUST BY CALLING US WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER WE SEND NOTICE OF THE CHANGE.

About Rights in Numbers and Electronic Addresses We Assign to You
Any phone number, personal identification number, e-mail address or identifier we assign to you remains the property of GreatCall. (We'll let you know if we need to change or reassign them). Your wireless phone number and/or name may show up when you call someone. In some cases, we rely on this feature to complete services you enjoy.
How Service Works
Charges and Fees We Set
You may have to pay fees to begin service or reconnect suspended service. Usage charges may vary depending on where, when and how you call. We charge for the usage of our services for most calls, including toll-free and operator-assisted calls. Additional features and services, including but not limited to, operator or directory assistance may have additional charges. Future features such as call forwarding, or 3-way calling involve multiple calls and/or multiple charges.
Wireless phones use radio transmissions, so we can't provide service when your wireless phone isn't in range of one of the transmission sites of one of the companies that has agreed to carry our customers' calls, or if there isn't sufficient network capacity available at that moment. There are places, particularly in remote areas, with no service at all. Weather, topography, buildings, your wireless phone, and other
conditions we don't control may also cause dropped calls or other problems with your service.
76
Taxes, Fees and Assessments
We are required by law to charge you certain taxes, surcharges and assessments. These taxes, surcharges and assessments will be included on your bill. You are respon­sible for payment of all such taxes, sur­charges and assessments imposed on the products and services provided, together with your monthly fees for the products and services provided.
These taxes, surcharges and assessments may change from time to time and we
77
Page 41
may not be able to give you advance notice about how such changes might affect you.
Except as prohibited by law, we may also, at our discretion, require you to pay regulatory and administrative fees to recover our costs of complying with regulatory mandates and Universal Service fees or similarly imposed charges. Any customer who is eligible for an exemption from any tax or fee must provide us with a valid and properly executed tax-exempt certificate which will be verified by us. Any tax exemption applies only after the date we receive the certificate from you and have verified your eligibility for the exemption.
Roaming and Roaming Charges
You are "roaming" whenever you make or receive a call using a transmission site outside the United States and Canada. There may be extra charges (including charges for long distance, tolls, or calls that don't connect) and higher rates for roaming calls, depending on your calling plan.
Your Bill/Statement
Your bill/statement is our notice to you of your fees, charges and other important information. You should read everything on your bill/statement. We bill usage charges after calls are made or received. We bill access fees and some other charges in advance.
How We Calculate Your Bill
Your bill reflects the fees and charges in effect under your calling plan at the time they are incurred. You can dispute your bill, but only within 180 days of receiving it. You must still pay any disputed charges until the dispute is resolved. Depending on your rate plan, charges for calls may be based on the location where you are and the time of day when the call took place. Rates do not apply to credit card or third party operator-assisted calls, which may be required in certain areas. The length of a call will be rounded up to the next full minute. Charges start when you first press YES to dial a call on outgoing calls, and when the call rings on an incoming call.
78
79
Page 42
Time ends after you press NO, hang up by closing your phone or the other party(ies) on your call hang(s) up. We only bill for calls that connect (which includes calls answered by machines). Calls to ‘toll-free’ numbers will be billed for minutes of use. Billing for minutes and related charges may sometimes be delayed. Delayed minute charges may be applied in the month they appear on your bill against minutes included in your usage allowance for that month, rather than against the included usage allowance for the month when you made or received the call. This may result in charges higher than you’d expect in the later month.
Payments, Deposits, Credit Cards and Checks
Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. IF WE DON'T RECEIVE PAYMENT IN FULL WHEN DUE, WE MAY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF THE BILLING ADDRESS WE HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU AT THE TIME, CHARGE YOU A LATE FEE OF UP TO 1.5 PERCENT A MONTH (18 PERCENT ANNUALLY), OR A FLAT $5 A MONTH, WHICHEVER IS GREATER, ON UNPAID BALANCES. WE MAY ALSO CHARGE FOR ANY COLLECTION AGENCY FEES BILLED TO US FOR TRYING TO COLLECT FROM YOU. SHOULD WE NOT RECEIVE YOUR LATE PAYMENT, WE MAY SUSPEND YOUR SERVICE UNTIL PAID IN FULL. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE A REASONABLE RECONNECTION FEE. IF YOUR ACCOUNT REMAINS UNPAID, WE WILL CANCEL SERVICE FOR NON-PAYMENT; AN EARLY CANCELLATION FEE WILL BE ADDED TO THE BALANCE OWED FOR EACH
CANCELLED SERVICE.
80
We reserve the right to require an advance deposit (or an increased deposit) from you based on your payment history and changes
81
Page 43
in your plan and/or the frequency of use of our services. We'll pay simple interest on any deposit at the rate the law requires. Please retain y You agree that we can apply deposits, payments or repayments in any order to any amounts you owe us on your account(s). You can't use a deposit to pay any bill unless we agree. We refund final credit balances of less than $1 only upon request. We will not honor limiting nota­tions you make on or with your checks. We may charge you up to $25 for any returned check or denied credit card charges, depending on applicable law.
If Your Phone is Lost or Stolen
If someone steals or you lose your wireless phone, please notify us immediately. If we haven't given you a courtesy suspension of service and monthly fees within the prior year, we'll give you one for 30 days, or until you replace or recover your wireless phone, whichever comes first. Until we grant any suspension, you're still responsible for all fees and charges, including those charges related to the use of services even if they are used by another party. You'll need to

provide us a sworn statement about the theft if we ask for one. Should we recover your phone and return it to you, you may be charged for the costs associated with its recovery including rewards.
Our Rights to Limit or End Service of This Agreement
You agree not to resell our service to someone else without our prior written permission. You also agree that your wireless phone won't be used for any other purpose that isn't allowed by this agreement, by your user guide, or that is illegal. WE CAN, WITHOUT NOTICE, LIMIT, SUSPEND OR END YOUR SERVICE OR ANY AGREEMENT WITH YOU FOR VIOLATING THIS AGREEMENT OR FOR ANY OTHER GOOD CAUSE, including, but not limited to:
(a) paying late more than once in
any 12 month period;
(b) incurring charges larger than a required deposit or billing limit (even if we haven't yet billed the charges) if you are unwilling to increase your deposit with us;
(c) harassing our employees or agents;
(d) lying to us;

(j) providing credit information we
can't verify;
(k) using your service in a way that
adversely affects other customers; or
(l) allowing anyone to tamper with
your wireless phone number.
We can also temporarily limit service for any operational or governmental reason.
Directory Information
We don't publish directories of our cus­tomers' phone numbers, nor do we provide them to third parties for listing in direc­tories. To avoid unwanted solicitations you may wish to add your number to the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY, which is managed by the Federal Trade Commission. To register your new phone number you can visit the Web site at www.donotcall.gov
or call toll free from your Jitterbug phone to (888) 382-1222.
Your Privacy
We have a duty under federal law to protect the confidentiality of information about the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination and amount of your use of our service, together with similar information on your bills. (This doesn't include your name, address and wireless phone number). Except as provided in this agreement, we won't intentionally share personal information about you without your permission.
We may use and share information about you:
(a) so we can provide our goods or services;
(b) so others can provide goods or services to us, or to you on our behalf;
(c) so we or our affiliates can com­municate with you about goods or services related to the ones you already receive (although you can call us at any time if you don't want us to do this);
(d) to protect ourselves; or
(e) as required by law, legal process

or exigent circumstances.
Waivers and Limitations of Liability
In addition, you have authorized us to investigate your credit history at any time and to share credit information about you with credit reporting agencies. If you ask, we will tell you the name and address of any credit agency that gives us a credit report about you. It's illegal for unauthorized people to intercept your calls, but such interceptions can occur. For training or quality assurance, we may also monitor or record our calls with you.

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICE OR YOUR WIRELESS PHONE. WE CAN'T PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE AND DON'T AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE ANY WARRANTIES ON OUR BEHALF. THIS DOESN'T DEPRIVE YOU OF ANY WARRANTY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST ANYONE ELSE.

Operating Environment
Persons with pacemakers:
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger. When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic 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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
• should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
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
96
97
Page 51
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
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. 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.
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.
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).
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. To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is off, turn it on.
2. Press the 911 button.
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 hang-up the call until given permission to do so.
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.

Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter an d 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). 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). 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.
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. 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. Body-worn operations are restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved, or non-Samsung designated accessories that have no metal and must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna (whether extended or retracted) and the user's body. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure 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
100
101
Page 53
as reported to the FCC are:
AMPS/CDMA Mode(Part 22) Head: 0.662 W/kg CDMA, Body-worn: 0.571 W/kg PCS Mode(Part 24) Head: 1.06 W/kg, Body-worn:0.651 W/kg
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed online at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. 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. 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 Web site 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:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand­held 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. 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.
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 have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
102
103
Page 54
What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the 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, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible
biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
• 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.
The 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 the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
* National Institute for Occupational Safety
and 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.
The 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.
The 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.

What are the results of the research done already?
of phone use in these studies was around three years.
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the 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.
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. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more years' follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do ­may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
The 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
106
107
Page 56
important questions about the effects of
exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
The 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.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.
probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about 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 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?
If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is
108
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.
109
Page 57
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
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.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work?
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 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. 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. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to the FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test
110
111
Page 58
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 and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a compatible hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

Road Safety
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you place your call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer of
113
Page 59
convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands-free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Press the 911 button or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, press the 911 button or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary respon­sibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional con­versations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have
114
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non­emergency wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency number.
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.

Product Performance
Availability of Various Features
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. You will know that you have a signal when you hear a dial-tone. If you do not have a dial tone there is no signal in that immediate area.
If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
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.
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.

• 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.
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 0 °C (32 °F).
° 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 use incompatible cell phone batteries
and chargers. Some Web sites and second­hand dealers, not associated with reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be selling incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and chargers.
° 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
° 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.
° 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 permit a battery out of the phone
to come in contact with metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.

° 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.
° 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 logon to

Care and Maintenance
• 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, which may damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.
• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.
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 ensure usage for many years.
• 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.
122
• 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.
• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the 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.
• If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not working properly, call customer service at 1-800-733-6632. The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.
