Health and safety information
Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) 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 the
safety standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through
periodic and through evaluation of scientific
studies.
The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
31
Page 34
Health and safety information
The exposure standard for wireless phones
employs a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit
recommended by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
SAR tests 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.
1. In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
32
1
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 of
the phone.
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 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. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Page 35
SAR information on this model phone is on file
with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/
oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID printed in
the label on the phone.
For body operation
For body worn operation, this model phone has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with a Samsung-supplied
or approved accessory designated for this
product or when used with and accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the
handset a minimum from the body.
The minimum distance for this model phone is
written in the FCC certification information from
the body. None compliance with the above
conditions may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
For more Information concerning exposure to
radio frequency signals, see the following
websites:

Precautions when using batteries
• Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged in any way.
• Use the battery only for its intended
purpose.
33
Page 36
Health and safety information
• If you use the phone near the network’s
base station, it uses less power; talk and
standby time are greatly affected by the
signal strength on the cellular network and
the parameters set by the network operator.
• Battery charging time depends on the
remaining battery charge, the type of
battery and the 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.
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
recharge your battery only with Samsungapproved 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.
34
• 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 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).
• 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 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-circuiting.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.
Road safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, make sure that you
are following the special regulations in a given
area or country.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area and always switch your phone
off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it
may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for
detailed safety instructions. Do not connect
incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for
the safety of personnel, it is recommended that
the equipment should only be used in the
normal operating position (held to your ear with
the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
35
Page 38
Health and safety information
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should always keep the phone more than 15
cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
the phone is switched on
• should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket
• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize potential interference
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch your phone
off immediately.
36
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
Switch your phone off in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Page 39
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where
posted notices require you to do so.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch your phone off when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while
at a refueling point (service station). Users 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked. They
include the areas below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders, and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.

Health and safety information
Emergency calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates
using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks as well as user-programmed
functions, which cannot guarantee connection
in all conditions. Therefore, you should never
rely solely on any wireless 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 signal strength. Emergency
calls may not be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network services and/
or phone features are in use. Check with local
service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
38
2. Key in the emergency number for your
present location (for example, 191 or other
official emergency number). Emergency
numbers vary by location.
3. Press [ ].
If certain features are in use (call barring, for
example), you may first need to deactivate
those features before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and
your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to
give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. Remember that your phone may be
the only means of communication at the scene
of an accident; do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
Page 41
Other important safety information
Only qualified personnel should service the
phone or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and
may invalidate any warranty applicable to the
device.
Check regularly that all wireless phone
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases
or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag,
remember that an air bag inflates with great
force. Do not place objects, including both
installed or portable wireless equipment in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Switch your phone off before boarding an
aircraft. The use of wireless phones in aircraft
may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, and is illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead
to the suspension or denial of telephone
services to the offender, or 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 any
warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this
product for many years.
• Keep your phone and all its parts and
accessories out of the reach of small children
and pets. They may inadvertently damage
these things or choke on small parts.

Appendix A: CERTIFICATION
INFORMATION (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
42
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (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 safety 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 known
as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Page 45
SAR Tests are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted 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 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 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 values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are Head: 1.57W/Kg, Bodyworn: 0.347W/Kg. Body-worn operations are
restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved or
none Samsung designated accessories that
have no metal and must provide at least 1.5cm
separation between the device, including its
antenna whether extended or retracted, and
the user’s body.
None compliance to the above restrictions may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID A3LSCHF679

Health and safety information
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit
for mobile phones used by the public is xx
watts/kilogram(W/kg) averaged over one gram
of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
