8 Important Safety Information
This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi
™
mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The FCC
requires that devices operating within 5.15-
5.25 GHz may only be used indoors, not
outside, in order to avoid interference with
Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). Therefore, this
device is restricted from being used outdoors
when operating in frequencies between 5.15-
5.25 GHz.
This section outlines the safety precautions
associated with using your phone. The terms
“mobile device” or “cell phone” are used in this

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
has published information for consumers
relating to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from
wireless phones. The FDA publication includes
the following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone
radiation will cause cancer or other serious
health hazards. The weight of scientific

evidence has not linked cell phones with any
health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency
(RF) energy. Over the past 15 years, scientists
have conducted hundreds of studies looking at
the biological effects of the radio frequency
energy emitted by cell phones. While some
researchers have reported biological changes
associated with RF energy, these studies have
failed to be replicated. The majority of studies
published have failed to show an association
between exposure to radio frequency from a
cell phone and health problems.
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in
use are in the microwave frequency range. They
also emit RF at substantially reduced time
intervals 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.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy
should not be confused with the effects from
other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy,
such as is found in X-rays and gamma rays,
can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a
process where electrons are stripped away from
their normal locations in atoms and molecules.

10 Important Safety Information
It can permanently damage biological tissues
including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio
frequency energy, including both radio waves
and microwaves, are not great enough to cause
ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore,
RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation.
Other types of non-ionizing radiation include
visible light, infrared radiation (heat), and other
forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively
low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large
amounts can increase body temperatures and
cause tissue damage. Two areas of the body,
the eyes and the testes, are particularly
vulnerable to RF heating because there is
relatively little blood flow in them to carry away
excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection
between RF and certain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date
say no. In addition, attempts to replicate and
confirm the few studies that have shown a
connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore
believes that the weight of scientific evidence
does not show an association between
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell
phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the
scientific community has supported additional

research to address gaps in knowledge. Some
of these studies are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study
designed to determine whether cell phones
increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A
report published in the International Journal of
Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell
phone usage for more than 5,000 people with
brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a
similar number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell
phones caused brain cancer. In this study, most
people had no increased risk of brain cancer
from using cell phones. For people with the
heaviest use of cell phones (an average of
more than ½ hour per day, every day, for over
10 years) the study suggested a slight increase
in brain cancer. However, the authors
determined that biases and errors prevented
any conclusions being drawn from this data.
Additional information about Interphone can be
found at
http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/
pr200_E.pdf.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to
date, but it did not answer all questions about
cell phone safety. Additional research is being
conducted around the world, and the FDA
continues to monitor developments in this field.

The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term
health monitoring of a large group of people to
determine if there are any health issues linked
to long-term exposure to radio frequency
energy from cell phone use. The COSMOS
study will follow approximately 300,000 adult
cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 30 years.

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)
Program of the National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively
follows cancer statistics in the United States to
detect any change in rates of new cases for
brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for
brain cancer, rates should go up, because
heavy cell phone use has been common for
quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 and
2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of
brain cancer did not increase. Additional
information about SEER can be found at

Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not
justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has
urged the cell phone industry to take a number
of steps, including the following:
● Support-needed research on possible
biological effects of RF for the type of signal
emitted by cell phones;
● Design cell phones in a way that minimizes
any RF exposure to the user; and
● Cooperate in providing users of cell phones
with the current information on cell phone
use and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary
standard-setting bodies such as the Institute of

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and
Other Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency
Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio
frequency energy (RF) from cell phones - and
at this point we do not know that there is - it is
probably very small. But, if you are concerned
about avoiding even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to minimize your RF
exposure.
● Reduce the amount of time spent using your
cell phone;
● Use speaker mode or a headset to place
more distance between your head and the
cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or
Bluetooth
®
headsets and various types of
body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and
holsters. Combinations of these can be used to
reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure
because the phone is held away from the head
Sprint_L600_IIB_.book Page 14 Thursday, August 15, 2013 5:19 PM
DRAFT For Internal Use Only
Important Safety Information 15
in the user's hand or in approved body-worn
accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S.
are required to meet RF exposure compliance
requirements when used against the head and
against the body.
Because there are no known risks from
exposure to RF emissions from cell phones,
there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits
reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for
convenience and comfort. They are also
required by law in many states if you want to
use your phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head
from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from
exposure to RF emissions from cell phones,
there is no reason to believe that accessories
which 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
“hands-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may
interfere with proper operation of the phone.
Sprint_L600_IIB_.book Page 15 Thursday, August 15, 2013 5:19 PM
DRAFT For Internal Use Only
16 Important Safety Information
The phone may be forced to boost its power to
compensate, leading to an increase in RF
absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger
to any users of cell phones from RF exposure,
including children and teenagers. The steps
adults can take to reduce RF exposure apply to
children and teenagers as well.
● Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell
phone;
● Use speaker mode or a headset to place
more distance between the head and the cell
phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using cell phones at all. For
example, The Stewart Report from the United
Kingdom made such a recommendation in
December 2000. In this report, a group of
independent experts noted that no evidence
exists that using a cell phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit cell phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.

exposures from various sources can be

18 Important Safety Information
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information
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 RF exposure limits are derived from
the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council 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 RF 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 (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to
Sprint_L600_IIB_.book Page 18 Thursday, August 15, 2013 5:19 PM
DRAFT For Internal Use Only
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 while operating can be well below the
maximum reported 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 of the phone.
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 SAR limit
established 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. For body-worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the mobile device a minimum of
1.0 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this mobile phone with all
Important Safety Information
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The
maximum SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are:
Head: 0.25 W/Kg
Body-worn: 0.96 W/Kg
SAR information on this and other model
phones can be accessed online on the FCC's
website through http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/
rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that pertains
to a particular model phone, this site uses the
phone FCC ID number which is usually printed
somewhere on the case of the phone.
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 SAR
information can also be obtained at

Smart Practices While Driving
On the Road - Off the Phone
The primary responsibility of every driver is the
safe operation of his or her vehicle.
Responsible drivers understand that no
secondary task should be performed while
driving whether it be eating, drinking, talking to
passengers, or talking on a mobile phone -
unless the driver has assessed the driving
conditions and is confident that the secondary
task will not interfere with their primary
responsibility.
Do not engage in any activity
while driving a moving vehicle which may
cause you to take your eyes off the road or
become so absorbed in the activity that your

ability to concentrate on the act of driving
becomes impaired. Samsung is committed to
promoting responsible driving and giving
drivers the tools they need to understand and
address distractions.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
mobile devices and their accessories in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them.
The use of these devices may be prohibited
or restricted in certain areas. For example,
only hands-free use may be permitted in
certain areas.
Before answering calls, consider your
circumstances. Let the call go to voicemail
when driving conditions require. Remember,
driving comes first, not the call!
If you consider a call necessary and
appropriate, follow these tips:
● Use a hands-free device;
● Secure your phone within easy reach;
● Place calls when you are not moving;
● Plan calls when your car will be stationary;
● Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations;
● Let the person with whom you are speaking
know that you are driving and will suspend
the call if necessary;
● Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving;

●
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture,
shred, or otherwise attempt to change the
form of your battery. Do not put a high
degree of pressure on the battery. This can
cause leakage or an internal short-circuit,
resulting in overheating.
●
Do not let the phone or battery come in
contact with liquids. Liquids can get into the
phone's circuits, leading to corrosion. Even
when the phone appears to be dry and
appears to operate normally, the circuitry
could slowly corrode and pose a safety
hazard. If the phone and/or battery get wet,
have them checked by your service provider
or contact Samsung, even if they appear to
be working properly.
●
Do not place your battery in or near a heat
source. Excessive heating can damage the
phone or the battery and could cause the
phone or the battery to explode. Do not dry a
wet or damp battery with an appliance or
heat source such as a microwave oven, hair
dryer, iron, or radiator. Avoid leaving your
phone in your car in high temperatures.
●
Do not dispose of the phone or the battery
in a fire. The phone or the battery may
explode when overheated.
●
Do not handle a damaged or leaking
battery. Do not let leaking battery fluid come
in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For

safe disposal options, contact your nearest
Samsung-authorized service center.
●
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping
the phone or the battery, especially on a hard
surface, can potentially cause damage to the
phone and battery. If you suspect damage to
the phone or battery, take it to a service
center for inspection.
●
Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged in any way.
●
Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects
.
Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, key, jewelry, clip, or pen)
causes a direct connection between the +
and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on
the battery), for example when you carry a
spare battery in a pocket or bag.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage
the battery or the object causing the
short-circuiting.
Important! Use only Samsung-approved
batteries, and recharge your battery
only with Samsung-approved
chargers which are specifically
designed for your phone.
WARNING!
Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or
charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,
