Health and safety information
SAR certification information
This phone meets European Union (EU) requir em en ts
concerning exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile ph one is a rad io transmitt er and receive r. It
is designed and manufactured to not ex c ee d th e lim its
for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as
recommended by the EU Cou ncil. Thes e limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and es t a blis h permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through the periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The limits inclu d e a
substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit recomm ended by th e EU Council is
1
2.0 W/kg.
41
Page 44
Health and safety information
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency band s .
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR leve l of the ph o n e 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
base station, the lower the power output of the phone.
1. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body
tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of sa fety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary,
depending on national reporting requirements and the
network band.

Precautions when using batteries
• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in
any way .
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• If you use the phone near the network’s base
station, it uses less power. Talk and standby tim e
are greatly affected by the signal strength on the
cellular network and the parameters set by the
service provider.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining
battery charge, the type of battery, and the charger
used. The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
• 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. Disconnect the charger from the power
source when it is not in use.
Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
Page 45
more than a week, since overcharging may shorten
its life.
• 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
because the capacity and lifetime of th e b att er y will
be reduced. Try to keep the battery at room
temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery
may not work temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly
affected by temperatures below 0° C (32° F).
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental shortcircuiting can occur when a metallic object like a
coin, clip or pen causes a direct connection between
the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on
the battery). For example, do not carry a spare
battery in a pocket or bag where the battery may
contact metal objects. Short-circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the object causing the
short-circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire.
Road safety
Your wireless pho n e giv e s you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But
an important responsibility accompanies the ben efits of
wireless phones, one that every user m us t up hold .
When you are driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone while
driving, follow local regulations in the country or reg ion
you are in.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in
the area you are in, and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it m ay cause
interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s g uide fo r d e taile d safet y
instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
43
Page 46
Health and safety information
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 sh ould only b e use d
in the normal operating position (held to your ear with
the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shie lde d from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shield ed again st th e
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 recomme n d at io n s of W irele ss Te ch n o log y
Research. If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off your pho ne
immediately.
44
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference , y o u
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 d eter mine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician ma y b e ab le to ass ist y o u in obtain in g
this information.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities when
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in 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.
Page 47
Posted facilities
Switch off your phone in any facility where posted
notices require you to d o so.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone 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 b odily in jury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a
refuelling point (service station). Use rs are re minded 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 mark ed. T h ey inclu d e the areas
below decks 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 land line networ ks as well as
user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, y ou sh o uld
never rely solely on any wireless phon e fo r ess en tial
communications like medical em erg en c ies .
To make or receive 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. Switch on the phone.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present
location. Emergency numbers vary by location.
3. Press [ ].
Certain features like Call Barring m ay n ee d to be

• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember
that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not
place objects, including installed or p ortable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless
equipment could result in serio u s inju r y if the air
bag inflates.
• Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. It
is dangerous and illegal to us e wireless pho nes in an
aircraft because they can interfere with the
operation of the aircraft.
46
• Failure to observe these instructions m ay lead to the
suspension or denial of telephone services to the
offender, or legal action, or both.
Care and maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you fulfill any warran ty
obligations and allow you to enjoy th is product for man y
years.
• Keep your phone and all its parts and accessories
out of the reach of small children and pets. Th e y
may accidentally damage these things or choke on
small parts.
• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity, and
liquids contain minerals that 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.
Page 49
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas,
as its moving part s may be damaged.
• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic

moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such
as a microwave oven, stove, or radiator. The phone
may explode when overheated.
• When the phone or bat tery gets wet, the label
indicating water damage inside the phone changes
colour. In this case, phone repairs are no longer
guaranteed by the manufacturer's warranty, even if
the warranty for your phone has not expired.
• If your phone has a flash or light, do not use it too
close to the eyes of people or animals. This may
cause damage to their eyes.
• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorised antennas or modified
