SAR Information
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 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 phones employs a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are:
800 CDMA Head: 0.40 W/Kg.
800 CDMA Body-worn: 0.53 W/Kg.
1900 PCS Head: 0.44 W/Kg.

Charging the Battery

Incorrect
Correct
Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery and travel adapter. Only use Samsung-approved charging devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are designed to maximize battery life. Use of other
accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.
Important!:
You must fully charge the battery the first time you use your phone, otherwise you could damage the battery. From fully discharged to fully charged, the battery requires up to 4 hours of charge time.
Using the Travel Adapter
The travel adapter included with your phone is a convenient, light-weight charger that rapidly charges your phone from any standard 120/220 VAC outlet.
1. Plug the Travel Adapter into a standard 120/220 VAC wall outlet.
Important!:
For connection to an electrical supply not located in North America, you must use an adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.
2. If not installed, install the battery in the phone.
3. Insert the smaller end of the Travel Adapter into the charger/accessory
connector on the top of your phone.
6
Important!:
You must unplug the adapter before removing the battery from the phone during charging to avoid damage.
Low battery indicator
The battery indicator ( ) displays in the upper-right corner of the screen. Monitor the battery strength and ensure your battery is adequately charged.
Indicates a full charge. Indicates a near empty battery. A blinking empty battery icon and a tone indicate you
have two to three minutes before the battery power runs out.
Note:
If you continue to use the phone without charging the battery, the phone shuts down.

Activating Your Phone

Contact your Wireless Carrier and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if necessary. Read this guide for information about the services your phone supports.
