CC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96326 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 1.5cm from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of thirdparty belt-clips/ holsters with no metallic components that provide the minimum separation distance of 1.5cm 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 website at www

.fcc.gov

SAR Information & FCC ID Labeling

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement know as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified 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. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is XXXXX

and when worn

on the body, as described in this user guide, is XXXXX

. (Bodyworn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

Safety Precautions and Important Notices

Read these simple guidelines. Failure to comply with these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. For more detailed safety information, see “Safety Information” on page 116.

Road safety comes first

Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; park the vehicle first. Remember that in some countries, it is illegal to use a hand-held phone while driving.

Switch off when refuelling

Do not use the phone at a refuelling point (service station) or near fuels or chemicals.

Switch off in aircraft

Mobile phones can cause interference. Using them on aircraft is both illegal and dangerous.

Switch off in hospital

Follow any regulations or rules. Switch the phone off near medical equipment.

Respect special regulations

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).

SSaaffeettyy PPrreeccaauuttiioonnss

Interference

All mobile phone may be subject to radio interference, which may affect their performance.

Use qualified service

Only qualified service personnel must install or repair cellular equipment.

Use sensibly

Use only in the normal position (to ear). Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is switched on.

IMPORTANT!Use only accessories approved by the phone manufacturer. This apparatus is intended for use when supplied with power from SAMSUNG approved Travel charger. The use of any other types will invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and may be dangerous.

When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
