Section 1: Getting Started

This section describes the first steps to operating your phone.

SIM Card Information

When you subscribe to cellular network services, you receive a
plug-in Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card loaded with your
subscription details, such as your PIN, and available optional
services.

Activating Your Phone

Activating your phone requires several things: inserting the SIM
card, charging the battery, and turning the phone on.

䊳

If necessary, power-off the phone by pressing and

holding until the power-off image is displayed.

4

Removing the Battery

1. Press the back cover down from the top back of the phone

(1) while pressing in on the cover release near the bottom
(2). Lift up and remove the back cover from the phone.

2. Lift the battery up (1) and away from the phone (2).

Installing and Removing the SIM Card

Important!:

The plug-in SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by
scratches or bending. Use caution when inserting or removing
the SIM, and keep all SIM cards out of reach of children.

1. Remove the back cover and battery.

2. With the gold contacts facing down, slide the notched end

of the SIM card completely into the socket.

3. To remove the SIM, slide it gently out of the socket.

Note:

The angled corner of the SIM should be inserted as shown in the
diagram on the phone. The correct SIM orientation is necessary for

3.

+

Incorrect

Correct

With the battery in position in the phone, align the back
cover on the phone (1) and slide gently upward (2) until the

cover clicks into place.

Note:

The battery must be properly installed before charging the battery or
switching on the phone.

Charging the Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the
wall charger to charge the battery, and use only Samsung
approved batteries and chargers.

Note:

You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first
time. A fully discharged battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time.

Note:

For connection to an electrical supply outside of the U.S., you must use
an adaptor properly configured for the power outlet. Using the wrong
adaptor can damage your phone and void your warranty.

1. Open the side slot and plug the connector of the wall

charger jack into the port on the side of the phone.

Note:

This illustration shows both the correct method and the incorrect
method for connecting the charger.

If you connect the charger incorrectly, you risk damaging the
accessory port and voiding the phone warranty.

2. Plug the adaptor into a standard AC wall outlet.

6

When the phone is completely charged ( ), unplug the

3.

charger from the power outlet.

4. Remove the adapter from the phone by gently pulling the

connector out and replace the plastic cover over the open

jack.

Important!:

The battery charging function may stop if you are on a call while
charging your battery.

Note:

During charging, you must unplug the adapter before removing the

battery from the phone to avoid damage.

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery power is low and only a few minutes of talk
time remain, a warning tone sounds, the “Battery Low” message
repeats at regular intervals on the display, and the empty battery
icon ( ) blinks. The backlight turns off to conserve the
remaining battery power.

Note:

If your phone is in Silent Mode, the Low Battery Indicator defaults to

Vibration (see “Sound Profile” on page 48.). If you change the alert

from Vibration to Mute, you will only see a flashing message

indicating a low battery.

If the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off. Recharge your battery.

Turning the Phone On or Off

1. Press and hold the key or the key until the phone

power-on screen displays.

Note:

Do not turn on the phone when mobile phone use is prohibited.

2. If the phone asks, enter a password and press the OK soft

key or the key. (For further details, see “Change
Phone Password” on page 54.)

The Idle screen displays while the phone searches for your

network. The signal strength bars show adequate signal

after a network is found.

Note:

The display language is preset to Automatic at the factory. To change
the language, use the Language menu. (For more information, refer to
“Phone” on page 52..)

3. When you wish to switch off the phone, press and hold

the key until the power-off image is displayed.

Section 13: Health and Safety Information

This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using
your phone. These safety precautions should be followed to
safely use your phone.

Health and Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Certification Information (SAR)

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.

These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations, the National
Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

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.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that

Health and Safety Information 87

contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of

1.5 cm from the body.

Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with 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 as reported to the FCC are:

GSM850:

•

Head: 0.483 W/Kg.,

•

Body-worn: 1.31 W/Kg.

GSM1900:

•

Head: 0.724 W/Kg.,

•

Body-worn: 1.05 W/Kg.

SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed
online at

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea

. To find information that
pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case
of the phone.

Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to
find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a
particular phone, follow the instructions on the website and it

88

should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular
phone. Additional product specific SAR information can also be
obtained at

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 hand-held 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.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation­emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they
can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level
that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require
the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the

Health and Safety Information 89

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.

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.

90

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.

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?

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 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 long­term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.

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 FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?

FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and
with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high
priority animal studies are conducted to address important
questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF).

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.

Health and Safety Information 91

FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety.
FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry, and academic organizations.

CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to
independent investigators. The initial research will include both
laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The
CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional
research needs in the context of the latest research
developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio
frequency energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not
know that there is - it is probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a
few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure 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

92

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 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.

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 hands­free 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 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 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.

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

Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.

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
to 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 convenience and safety to your

wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.

Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to

3.

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.

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 the potential to divert your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other

local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident

or medical emergencies.

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, call 9-1-1 or

other local emergency number, as you would want others

to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency

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.

Responsible Listening

Caution!:

Avoid potential hearing loss.

Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud
sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is
played louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to
loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that
using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and
cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations
may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes
the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and
Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound
has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing
in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing.

96

Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and
potential hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of
sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on
the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the headphones
that are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting that is
appropriate for everyone or for every combination of sound,
settings and equipment.

You should follow some commonsense recommendations when
using any portable audio device:

•

Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at
which you can hear adequately.

•

When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the
people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear
what you are listening to.

•

Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, you
noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental
noise. By blocking background environment noise, noise cancelling
headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than
when using earbuds.

•

Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time
is required before you hearing could be affected.
