Radio frequency exposure information
In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
the Samsung-supplied or approved carrying case,
holster, or other body-worn accessory.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the
antenna is at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your body
when transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Use sensibly
Use only in the normal position (to ear). Do not touch
the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is
switched on.
Accessories and batteries
Use only SAMSUNG-approved accessories and
batteries.
Use qualified service
Only qualified service personnel must repair
equipment.

Entering Text
While using your phone, you will need to enter text
at many times. For example, when storing a name in
the Phonebook, creating your personal greeting or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using
your phone’s keypad.
You are provided with the following text input
modes:
• T9 English: This mode allows you to enter English
words with only one keypress per letter. Each key
on a keypad has more than one letter - a single
press on could be J, K or L. T9 English mode
automatically compares your key presses to an
internal linguistic database to determine the
correct word. T9 English mode requires far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional multi-tap method,
Alpha(ABC) mode.
• Alpha(ABC): allows you to enter English
characters by pressing the key labelled with the
desired character repeatedly until the character
displays.
• Symbol: allows you to enter various symbols and
special characters.
• Number: allows you to enter numbers.
Changing Text Input Mode
When you are in a field that allows character entry,
you should notice the text input mode indicator in the
top line of the display.
Example: When you are writing a new message
(Menu 5-2-1-1)
To change to another text input mode, do as follows:
1. Press to access the Input Mode menu.
2. Scroll to the desired mode by pressing or
repeatedly.
3. When the mode is highlighted, press to select
it.
