health and safety

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception

information

Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or

illegal situations and ensure peak performance of your mobile

device.

Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. 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.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP

health and safety information

standards described below. In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August

For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines for operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

• Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

• 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’s inoperable, return it to a dealer store or call Customer Support for service.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious personal injury and possible property damage.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.

When using your phone in the car:

• Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and re-dial.

• When available, use a hands-free device.

• Position your phone within easy reach.

• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.

• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.

• Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.

• Use your phone to help others in emergencies.

• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

health and safety information

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Turn off your phone when you are in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. These areas include:

• Fueling areas such as gas stations.

• Below deck on boats.

• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

• Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.

• Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.

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, dial 911 by mistake or make calls that increase your phone bill.

health and safety information

Warning Regarding Display

The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and could break if your handset is dropped or if it receives significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or cracked as this could cause injury to you.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.

• Use only Samsung approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.

• In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).

• Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

• Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

• Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

• Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

• The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.

• It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. When used correctly, the battery can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.

• Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:

-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C) More than one month:

-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest service center.

Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

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.

Information to User

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

health and safety information

the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

health and safety information

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient / relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the
