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

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:

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.
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.
104
105
Page 55
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.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless
phones for possible interactions with other medical
devices. Should harmful interference be found
to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess
the interference and work to resolve the
problem.

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

FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference
if used in close proximity to receiving equipment.
The FCC can require you to stop using the phone
if such interference cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) must comply with the National
Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy
of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
FCC Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not
expressly approved in this document could void
your warranty for this equipment, and void your
authority to operate this equipment. Only use
approved batteries, antennas and chargers.
The use of any unauthorized accessories may be
dangerous and void the phone warranty if said
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a
complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or
sitting on it.
Other Important Safety Information
• Only qualified personnel should service the
phone or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and
may invalidate any warranty applicable to
the device.
• Check regularly that all wireless phone
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids,
gases or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember
that an air bag inflates with great force. Do
not place objects, including both installed or
portable wireless equipment in the area over
the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If wireless equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
• Switch your phone off before boarding an
aircraft. The use of wireless phones in aircraft
is illegal and may be dangerous to the aircraft's
operation.
• Failure to observe these instructions may lead

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.
Many services and features are network dependent
and may require additional subscription and/or
usage charges. Not all features are available for
purchase or use in all areas. Logon to
www.myjitterbug.com for more information or
call customer service at 1-800-733-6632.
Battery Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on
phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery power
consumption depends on factors such as network
configuration, signal strength, operating temperature,
features selected, frequency of calls, and voice,
data, and other application usage patterns.
Battery Precautions
• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it,
especially on a hard surface, can potentially
cause damage to the phone and battery. If
you suspect damage to the phone or battery,
call us at 1-800-733-6632.
• Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged in any way.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain
or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet,
immediately turn the power off and remove the
battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care
for service.
118
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Follow battery usage, storage and charging
guidelines found in your How-To Guide.
119
Page 62
• 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.
120
121
Page 63
° 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
www.myjitterbug.com or call us at
1-800-733-6632. Always recycle.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
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.
