safely use your phone.

Health and Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

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).

r580.book Page 68 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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
contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of

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
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

r580.book Page 70 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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

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

r580.book Page 71 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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

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

r580.book Page 72 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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

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)

r580.book Page 73 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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?

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 phone s?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to

r580.book Page 74 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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

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.

r580.book Page 75 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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

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.

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

Product Performance

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. 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.

r580.book Page 85 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

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

•

Speak directly into the phone's receiver.

•

If your phone has a SIM or memory card: (i) handle the SIM or memory

card with care, (ii) do not remove a card while the phone is transferring
or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data and/or
damage to the card of phone, (iii) protect cards from strong shocks,
static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices, and (iv) do
not touch gold-colored contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal
objects (if dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth).

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, take it to a service center for
inspection.

•

Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.

•

Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could result in
serious safety hazards. Use batteries only for their intended use.

•

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only
with Samsung-approved chargers which are specifically designed for
your phone. 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 second-hand dealers, not associated with reputable
manufacturers and carriers, might be selling incompatible or even

r580.book Page 87 Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:45 PM

•

Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, (below 0 °C (32 °F) or

over 45 °C (113 °F) such as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as
you will reduce the charging 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).

•

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some

areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be
prohibited. Do not handle a damaged or leaking Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact your
nearest Samsung authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.

internal circuit boards.

•

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
