Safety warnings

Keep your phone away from small children and pets

Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach of small children or animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.

Protect your hearing

Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can cause hearing damage. Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio source and use only the minimum volume setting necessary to hear your conversation or music.

Install mobile phones and equipment with caution

Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically designed for your phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your phone.

Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing used batteries or phones.

Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.

Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating.

Avoid interference with pacemakers

Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones and pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers and the independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that your phone is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments

Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning signs or instructions. Your phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.

Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries

When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the number of keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.

Safety precautions

Drive safely at all times

Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all regulations that restrict the use of mobile phones while driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your safety when possible.

Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.

Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or animals.

Your phone and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended periods of time.

Avoid interference with other electronic devices

Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the

manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience.

Important usage information

Use your phone in the normal position

Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna. Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone

Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in damage to your phone and will void your warranty.

Ensure maximum battery and charger life

Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten battery life.

Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.

Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.

Use batteries only for their intended purpose.

Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care

Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or phone.

Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices.

Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards.

Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.

Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.

C e r t i f i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n ( S A R )
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is		designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequ			ency (RF) energy			set
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.				These
FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and			Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Enginee			rs (IEEE). In	both
cases, the recommendations were developed by	scientific and engineering			experts
drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive			reviews of	the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF		energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCCfor wireless mobile phones em			ploys a unit		of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The			SARis a	measure
of the rate of absorption of RFenergy by the human body expre			ssed in units of			watts
per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety						limit
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates				a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection t		o the public and to			account
for any variations in measurements.
SARtests are conducted using standard operating posit ions accepted by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power le		vel in all tested		frequency
bands. Although the SARis determined at the highest certified			power level,	the
actual SARlevel of the phone while operating can be well below			the maximum v alue.
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple po			wer levels so as			to
use only the power required to reach the network. In general, t			he closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power	output.					and
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public,			it must be tested
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limi		t established by			the
FCC. Tests foreach model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g.						at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the	FCC.

For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines whenused with a Samsung accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.

Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.

SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/.Please use the phone FCC ID number for search , A3LSMG570M. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, f o l l o w the

instructions	on the	website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for
a particular	phone.	Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained at

Depending on the region or model, some devices are required to receive approval from the Federal Commission(FCC). If your device is approved by the FCC, you can view the FCC ID of the device. To view the FCC ID, tap Apps -> About device -> Battery info.

C o n s u m e r I n f o r m a t io n o n W i r e l e s s P h o n e s

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the following information:

W h a t k i n d s o f p h o n e s a r e t h e s u b je c t o f t h i s u p d a t e ?

The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.

D o w i r e l e s s p h o n e s p o s e a h e a l t h h a z a r d ?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

W h a t i s F D A 's r o l e c o n c e r n i n g t h e s a f e t y o f w i r e l e s s p h o n e s ?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:

“Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;

“Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and

“Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:

 “National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

“Environmental Protection Agency

“Federal Communications Commission

“Occupational Safety and Health Administration

“National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well.

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.

FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.

the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.
