Safety Precautions
Compliance with Safety Standards
The Samsung Cellular phone meets all standards and recommendations for the
protection of the public from exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
established by governmental bodies and other qualified organizations. To reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, serious personal injury, or property damage, please follow
these guidelines:
Driving
Using a wireless phone while driving is illegal in some states and count ries. Know the
laws and regulations for your area, and pull off the road and park if you need to make
a call. If you must use the phone while driving, purchase and install the optional
Hands-Free Car Kit.
Electronic Devices
Your wireless telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the power is on, the
phone receives and sends out RF energy. Most modern electronic equipment, such as
equipment and cars, contains an RF signal shield. RF energy may affect some
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
Turn off tour phone in health care facilities, and always request pacemakers and
hearing aids, to determine if they are shielded adequately from extern al RF signals.
Note if there are any regulations posted in area regarding the operation of wireless
phones, and learn where you can use them safely within facility.
Aircraft
Turn off your phone bef ore boarding any aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) requires that you have prior permission from the crew to use your phone while
the plane is on the ground. FCC regulations proh ibit using you r phone is in th e air. D o
not use your phone at any time while traveling on board a plane.

Blasting Areas
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. To avoid
interfering with blasting operation, turn off your phone when you are in a blasting area
or in any area with signs posted as "Turn off two-way radio."
Other Dangerous Areas
Turn off your phone in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your phone or its accessories could generate sparks, which could explosion or fire.
* Fueling areas, such as gas stations
* Below deck on boats
* Furl or chemical transfer or storage facilities
* Areas where the air contain chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders
* Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of a
vehicle containing your or accessories.
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (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 Engineers (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 FCC for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR
is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed 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 (1.6W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account

for any variations in measurements. SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone wh ile operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output. Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit est ablished by the
FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the
ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. The highest SAR values for this
model phone as reported to the FCC are : CDMA Mode Head: 1.00 W/Kg, Body-worn:
1.28 W/Kg, PCS Mode Head : 1.36 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.862 W/Kg. For body worn
operations, this model phone has been testde and meets the FCC exposure guidelines
when used with a Samsung accessory designated for this product or when used with
an accessroy that contains no metal and that positons the handset a minimum 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 oth er model phones can be
viewed on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site uses the phone FCC ID number
A3LSPHI325 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, follow 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
www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.

FCC/IC Notice
This device compiles with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful int erference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution
Changes or modifications made in the radio phone, not expressly approved by
Samsung, will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Only use approved
batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be
dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect
to the phone. Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment
and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
