Table of ContentsFCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the
optional belt-clip/holster placed 0.7 inches (1.8cm) from the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.7 inches (1.8cm) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the phone, including the antenna,
whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips/
holsters with no metallic components that provide the minimum
separation distance of 0.7 inches (1.8cm) can be used to satisfy
FCC RF exposure requirements. The use of non-tested accessories
or other body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided. Contact your local
dealer for optional accessory items.

Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if
available.)

A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be
maintained between a person and the vehicle mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC web
site at www.fcc.gov

Using the Batteries

Battery

Li-ion STANDARD battery is available for use with your
phone. EXTENDED battery is also available.

Travel Charger

The travel charger plugs into a wall outlet and enables

you to charge a single battery at your home or office.

Cigarette Lighter Charger

The cigarette lighter charger charges your phone in a
vehicle while you drive and enables you to operate the
phone from a vehicle cigarette lighter socket.

Hands-Free Car Kit

The hands-free car kit provides safety, freedom and

convenience in your vehicle (Kit includes cradle, speaker
and microphone).

Ear-Microphone

The ear-microphone includes the earpiece and
microphone in a convenient, lightweight unit.

RS-232C Cable

The RS-232C cable connects your phone to a computer

port, allowing you to use the Internet or other
communication programs.

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
standard battery.

Additional batteries are available for purchase (ask your
SAMSUNG dealer for further details):

Precautions When Using Batteries

• Never use any 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 times are greatly
affected by the signal strength on the cellular
network and the parameters set by the network
operator.

• Battery charging times depend on the remaining
battery charge and the type of battery and charger
used. The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time (talk time and standby 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.

7574

Using the Batteries

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge
your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers.
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.

• 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, such
as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as you
will reduce the capacity and life-time 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. Li­ion batteries are particularly affected by
temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short
circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip
or pen) causes a direct connection between the + and

- terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of
the battery), for example when you carry a spare
battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the object
causing the short-circuit.

Safety Information

Road Safety

• Remember, road safety always comes first!

• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving a vehicle.
Always park the vehicle before having a
conversation.

• Make sure that the phone is stored safely and will
not fall or be broken in the event of a collision or
emergency stop.

• The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s
lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.

• Only qualified personnel should install or service the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may
be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
applicable to the unit.

• Electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking, electronic
cruise control or any other electronic systems may
malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio
signals. Check regularly that all cellular phone
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
correctly.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire.

Safety Information

Safety Information

Operating Environment

• Remember to follow any special regulations in force
in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger (in a hospital for
example).

• Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including cellular phones, may interfere with
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device
if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment
may also be subject to interference.

• As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
you are advised that for satisfactory operations and
personal safety, the equipment should only be used
in the normal operating position.

• Always switch off the phone when at a refuelling
point (service station). You are reminded 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.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts or accessories.

• Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft.
The use of cellular phones in an aircraft is illegal and
may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft or
disrupt the cellular network. Failure to observe these
instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of
cellular telephone services to the offender, 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 the warranty
obligations and enjoy this product for many years.

• Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out
of the reach of small children.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and
liquids containing minerals will corrode the electronic
circuits.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas as
its components may be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain
plastics.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the
phone warms up (to its normal temperature),
moisture can form inside the phone, which may
damage the electronic circuits.

center. The personnel there will assist you, and if
necessary, arrange for the phone to be repaired.

Emergency Calls

Glossary of Terms

Airtime -Actual time spent talking on the wireless

phone. Most carriers bill customers based on
how many minutes of airtime they use each

month.

Antenna -A device for transmitting or receiving

signals. The size and shape of antennas is
determined, in part, by the frequency of the
signal they receive. Wireless phones and the
base station must have antennas.

Base Station - The fixed radio transmitter/receiver that

maintains communications with mobile
radio telephones within a given area.
(Typically called a cell or cell site)

Important!This phone, like any cellular phone, uses

radio signals, cellular and landline
networks, as well as user-programmed
functions that cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any
cellular phone for essential
communications (medical emergencies for
example).

Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must
be switched on and in a service area with adequate
cellular signal strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
phone networks or when certain network services
and/or phone features are in use. Check with local
cellular service providers.

CDMA -(Code Division Multiple Access) A spread-

spectrum approach to digital transmission.

With CDMA, each conversion is digitized and
then tagged with a code. The mobile phone
deciphers only a particular code to pick the
right conversation off the air. The transmitted
signal is just above noise level across the
available bandwidth.

Channel - Communications signals transmit along paths

called channels.

Codec - Compression & Decompression.
Deactivation -The process of rendering a wireless

phone inactive.

Glossary of Terms

DTMF - (Dual-tone Modulated Frequency ) You send

DTMF signals when you enter numbers by
pressing the digit keys.

EVRC -(Enhanced Variable Rate Codec) EVRC is a new

global standard for compressing and
decompressing voice signals. EVRCuses a lower
bit rate (the number of bits sent per second)
than existing CDMA vocoders, while providing
significant improvements in voice quality. This
technology enables your phone to provide
superb voice quality while benefiting from the
ability to process more cellular voice calls using
less bandwidth than the voice codecs in CDMA
networks today.

Frequency -A measure based on time, as one or more

waves per second, in an electrical or light
wave information signal. A signal’s
frequency is stated in cycles-per-second or
Hertz (Hz).

Hands-Free -A feature that permits a driver to use a

wireless phone without lifting or holding
the handset - an important safety feature
for automobiles, tractors and most other
motorized vehicles.
