driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your
safety when possible.
Follow all safety warnings and regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a
mobile phone in a certain area.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
phone or cause injury.
Turn off the phone near medical equipment
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in
hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations,
posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel.
Turn off the phone or disable the wireless
functions when in an aircraft
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft

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 scientic and engineering experts drawn from
stry,overnment,industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientic 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 Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) The SARis 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 certied power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certied 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.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers
•
specically designed for your phone. Incompatible
batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or
damage to your phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a re. Follow
•
all local regulations when disposing used batteries or
phones.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating
•
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing
•
the battery to high external pressure, which can lead to
an internal short circuit and overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile
phones and pacemakers to avoid potential interference,
as recommended by manufacturers and the independent
research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you
have any reason to suspect that your phone is interfering
with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the
phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the
pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
Protect batteries and chargers from damage
Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot
•
temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/
113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the
charging capacity and life of your batteries.
Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this
•
can create a connection between the + and – terminals
of your batteries and lead to temporary or permanent
battery damage.
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
•
Handle your phone carefully and sensibly
Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause
•
serious damage. Do not handle your phone with wet
hands. Water damage to your phone can void your
manufacturer's warranty.
Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas
•
to prevent damage to moving parts.
Your phone is a complex electronic device—protect
•
it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious
damage.
Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving
•
parts and prevent proper operation.
Your phone and memory cards may be damaged
•
by exposure to magnetic elds. Do not use carrying
cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow
your phone to come in contact with magnetic elds for
extended periods of time.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may
interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded
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 certied 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 as required by the FCC.
The highest SAR values for this model phone
as reported to the FCC are:
GSM1900 Head:0.444 W/Kg
