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

Road safety comes first
Do not use a hand-held mobile phone while driving;
park the vehicle first. Remember that in some
countries, it is illegal to use a mobile 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 on 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 phone off
near medical equipment.
Respect special regulations
Follow any special regulations in force in any area

Safety Precautions
Use qualified service
Only qualified service personnel must repair
equipment.
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.
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. These 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.
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 (1.0cm) from your body
when transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
