FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 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 standards 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 antenna or one that is approved. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in a 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 a replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters

or similar accessories that maintain at least a 0.59 inch (1.5 cm.) separation distance, between the user's body and the back of the phone, including

the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF

exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

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 web site at www

Getting Started

Using a UIM Card

The UIM(User Identification Module) card contains a chip with all the information required to operate your phone. Note the following:

Keep all miniature UIM cards out of the reach of small children.

The UIM card and its contacts can easily be damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting or removing the card.

Installing the UIM card

2.Slide the UIM card into the slot ensuring that the notched corner is at the top left and the gold contacts of the card face into the phone.

Getting Started

Removing the UIM Card

Slide the UIM card out of the slot.

Note: Despite of no UIM card in the phone, you can make emergency call.

Using a Battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.

Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged battery is fully recharged in approximately 155 minutes for a standard battery.
