Safety Precautions

Compliance with Safety Standards

The Samsung Cellular phone meets all standards and recommendations for the protection of the public from exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy established by governmental bodies and other qualified organizations.

Using a wireless phone while driving is illegal in some states and countries. Know the laws and regulations for your area, and pull off the road and park if you need to make a call. If you must use the phone while driving, purchase and install the optional HandsFree Car Kit.

Electronic Devices

Your wireless telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the power is on, the phone receives and sends out RF energy. Most modern electronic equipment, such as cars, contains an RF signal shield. RF energy may affect some inadequately shielded electronic equipment. Turn off your phone in health care facilities, and always request pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are shielded adequately from external RF signals. Note if there are any regulations posted in area regarding the operation of wireless phones, and learn where you can use them safely within facility.

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone is in the air. Do not use your phone at any time while traveling on board a plane.

Blasting Areas

Construction crews often use remote-control RF devi ces to set off explosives. To avoid interfering with blasting operation, turn off your phone when you are in a blasting area or in any area with signs posted as "Turn off two-way radio."

It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks, which could lead to explosion or fire. * Fueling areas, such as gas stations * Below deck on boats * Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities * Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders * Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of a vehicle containing your phone or accessories.

How to use Smartphone

Home screen

The Home screen plays an integral part in the navigational model of Smartphone. It is the first screen displayed every time the device is turned on. The user can easily return.

Sample Home Screen

Home screen customization

The Home screen provides users a customizable starting page for their Smartphone. It can be used to display a variety of information, such as phone-specific status, information from over-the-air services, and information from personal information manager (PIM) applications. The user can fully customize the Home screen by installing new plug-ins and schemes.

Home screen icons

The top part of the Home screen displays icons for the most recently used applications (MRUs). If you are creating a new application, you must provide an icon to represent your application that can be incorporated into the MRU list.

Start

The top part of the Home screen displays icons for the most recently used applications. Start key displays the top-level list of applications supported by the device. The first five applications in this list are those most typically used by users and are fixed in position. Other applications follow and the list of applications is numbered serially.

The user can navigate to programs by pressing the left soft key from the Home screen.

Programs

The user can scroll through the list of applications and press the action button to select any list item to launch the application. Additionally, the applica tions are mapped to the numbers; the user can launch them directly by pressing the associated numb er.

Title Bar

The top 20 pixels of the Smartphone screen are reserved for the titl e bar, as an always visible bar that provides application information and status. The title bar uses font 10point bold Nina, and supports right-justified icons.

Most of the title bar is devoted to application-specific information. The text is context dependent and can be changed for child windows. For example, in the Calendar application, the date is shown in the title bar, as illustrated in the following figure. As another example, in the messaging application the title for the list view is the appropriate mail folder name (see the next figure).

Icons also appear in the title bar to provide information such as battery and signal strength or text entry mode. Default icons include the signal strength icon and a battery icon. Default icons may be overridden by other icons in some contexts. For example, the battery icon is overwritten by the text entry indicator when the user composes an email message.

Text entry indicator

Menu bar

The menu bar is 20 pixels high at the bottom of the screen and contains the two soft keys shown in the following figure. The menu bar font is 10-point bold Nina.

Soft key tray

Smartphone uses two soft keys to display menus and action options to the user. The user can activate a soft key by pressing the corresponding hardware button located physically near the display.

The menu bar is part of the device shell UI; it is context sensitive and can be changed dynamically by an application. For example, in the Contacts list view the soft keys are New and Menu. When the user starts to create a new contact in the e dit view, the soft keys change to Done and Menu.

Different soft keys in menu bar

Applications should use the right soft key to display the menu and the left soft key as a context-sensitive Action button. For example, the l eft soft key in the edit view of the preceding figure is Done. The left soft key may appear even when there is no label on the right soft key, as shown in the following figure.
