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. 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 one inch (2.5 cm) from your body
when transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
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.
Use qualified service
Only qualified service personnel must repair
equipment.
