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 highest SAR values for this model phone were Head: 0.43 W/kg,
Body-worn: 0.73 W/kg.

Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A travel adapter used for

chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for further details.
You can use the phone while the battery is charging, but doing so requires
additional charging time.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for the first time. A discharged

Verify the handset battery is properly installed before connecting the travel adapter. If
the battery is not properly installed and the travel adapter is connected, the handset
continuously power cycles and prevents proper operation.
Note:
This illustration shows both the correct method and the incorrect method for connecting the
charger. If you connect the charger incorrectly, you risk damaging the accessory port and
voiding the phone warranty.
Warning!:
If the adapter power plug is installed incorrectly, damage to the accessory port occurs
and voids the phone warranty.
2. Plug the adapter power plug into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When charging is finished, unplug the adapter power plug from the AC wall
outlet, then disconnect the travel adapter connector from the phone.
Warning!:
Failure to unplug the travel adapter before removing the battery can cause damage to
the phone.
4. Replace the plastic cover over the interface jack on the phone.
Getting Started 7
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak with only a few minutes of talk time remaining, a warning
tone sounds and the “Battery low” message repeats at regular intervals on the
display. In this condition, your phone conserves its remaining battery power, not by
turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. When the battery level
becomes too low, the phone automatically turns off.
Turning the Phone On or Off
1. Press and hold the key until the phone power-on screen displays.
2. If the phone asks, enter a password and press . (For further details, see
“Change Phone Password” in the phone Security section on page 56.)

signal strength bars show adequate signal after a network is found.
Note:
The display language is preset to Automatic at the factory. To change the language, use the
Language menu. For more information, see Phone settings on page 55.
3. When you wish to switch off the phone, press and hold the key.
