Using Abbreviated Dialing
Abbreviated Dialing is similar to speed dialing,
except that you dial digits from the actual phone
number, rather than an assigned code.
With Abbreviated Dialing, you can call numbers
by dialing just the unique numbers in the
telephone number, and your phone fills in the
other digits. For example, if you frequently dial
numbers in the same area code, you can
configure Abbreviated Dialing with the area
code, then just dial the remaining digits to place
a call. Abbreviated Dialing will add the preconfigured digits before the number to complete
the number.
When you turn Abbreviated Dialing On, you store
digits to add to the beginning of the digits you
dial. For more information about configuring
Abbreviated Dialing, see “Abbreviated Dialing”
on page 67.
1. Enter digits from a contact’s stored phone
number, conforming to the digits you
previously stored with Abbreviated Dialing.

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. 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
Health and Safety Information 73
Page 78
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
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.
International Cohor t Study on Mobile Phone
Users (COSMOS)
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. Additional
74

information about the COSMOS study can be
found at
http://www.ukcosmos.org/index.html
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio
Frequency Fields in Childhood and
Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating
the relationship between exposure to radio
frequency energy from communication
technologies including cell phones and brain
cancer in young people. This is an international
multi-center study involving 14 European and
non-European countries. Additional information
about MOBI-KIDS can be found at
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
http://seer.cancer.gov/
.
.
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 standardsetting bodies such as the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to
assure that safety standards continue to
adequately protect the public.
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
Health and Safety Information 75
Page 80
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 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. 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
Page 81
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.
Additional information on the safety of RF
exposures from various sources can be obtained

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
Health and Safety Information 77
Page 82
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
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
1.5 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 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: 0.70 W/kg.
•
Body-worn: 0.36 W/kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones
can be accessed online on the FCC's website
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html
through
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.

GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a
Global Positioning System (GPS) signal for
location-based applications. A GPS uses
satellites controlled by the U.S. Government that
are subject to changes implemented in
accordance with the Department of Defense
policy and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation
Plan (FRP). Changes may affect the performance
of location-based technology on your mobile
device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS),
which obtains information from the cellular
network to improve GPS performance. AGPS
uses your wireless service provider's network
and therefore airtime, data charges, and/or
additional charges may apply in accordance with
your service plan. Contact your wireless service
provider for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information
that can be used to determine the approximate
location of a mobile device. Mobile devices
which are connected to a wireless network
transmit location-based information. Additionally,
if you use applications that require
location-based information (e.g. driving
directions), such applications transmit
location-based information. The location-based

Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device is a product of superior
design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you
fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to
enjoy this product for many years:
Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation,
humidity, and liquids contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile
86
device does get wet, do not accelerate drying
with the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer,
because this may damage the mobile device
and could cause a fire or explosion.
Do not use the mobile device with a wet
hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock
to you or damage to the mobile device.
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a
microwave oven. Doing so may cause a fire
or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust,
dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
mobile device. Wipe it with a soft cloth
slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile
device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
Page 91
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog
the device’s moving parts or ventilation
openings and prevent proper operation.
Responsible Listening
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is
exposed to loud sounds over time. The risk of
hearing loss increases as sound is played louder
and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to
loud sounds (including music) is the most
common cause of preventable hearing loss.
Some scientific research suggests that using
portable audio devices, such as portable music
players and cell phones, at high volume settings
for long durations may lead to permanent
noise-induced hearing loss.
This includes the use of headphones (including
headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth
wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound
has also been associated in some studies with
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to
sound, and distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and
potential hearing problem varies. Additionally,
the amount of sound produced by a portable
audio device varies depending on the nature of
the sound, the device settings, and the
headphones that are used. As a result, there is
.
®
or other
no single volume setting that is appropriate for
everyone or for every combination of sound,
settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense
recommendations when using any portable
audio device:
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the
earphones into an audio source.
•
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select
the lowest volume at which you can hear
adequately.
•
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume
settings over time, not realizing that the higher
volume may be harmful to your hearing.
•
When using headphones, turn the volume down if
you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if
the person sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.
•
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy
surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable
device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling
headphones to block out background environmental
noise. By blocking background environment noise,
noise cancelling headphones should allow you to
hear the music at lower volumes than when using
earbuds.
Health and Safety Information 87
Page 92
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume
increases, less time is required before you hearing
could be affected.
•
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely
loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might
cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing
loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
•
Do not listen at any volume that causes you
discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears,
hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening to your portable
audio device, discontinue use and consult your
doctor.

with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey
all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. Users are advised to
switch the mobile device off while at a refueling
point (service station).
Users are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots (fuel storage and distribution areas),
chemical plants, or where blasting operations
are in progress. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include below deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders, and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility
(HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) has established requirements for digital
wireless mobile devices to be compatible with
hearing aids and other assistive hearing devices.
When individuals employing some assistive
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants) use wireless mobile devices, they may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and mobile
devices also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a
rating system for wireless mobile devices to
assist hearing device users find mobile devices
that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated.
Mobile devices that are rated have the rating on
their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user's hearing device and
hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to
be vulnerable to interference, you may not be
able to use a rated mobile device successfully.
Trying out the mobile device with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
Page 95
M-Ratings
: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or
M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices
than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings. M-ratings
refer to enabling acoustic coupling with hearing
aids that do not operate in telecoil mode.
T-Ratings
: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet
FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than mobile
devices that are not labeled. T4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to
enabling inductive coupling with hearing aids
operating in telecoil mode.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing
aid manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings
mean that the hearing device is relatively
immune to interference noise.
Under the current industry standard, American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the
hearing aid and wireless mobile device rating
values are added together to indicate how usable
they are together. For example, if a hearing aid
meets the M2 level rating and the wireless
mobile device meets the M3 level rating, the
sum of the two values equals M5.
Under the standard, this should provide the
hearing aid user with normal use while using the
hearing aid with the particular wireless mobile
device. A sum of 6 or more would indicate
excellent performance.
However, these are not guarantees that all users
will be satisfied. T ratings work similarly.
M3 + M2 = 5
T3 + T2 = 5
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are
described in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
Restricting Children's Access
to Your Mobile Device
Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with it because they could hurt
themselves and others, damage the mobile
device, or make calls that increase your mobile
device bill.

FCC Notice and Cautions
FCC Notice
The mobile device may cause TV or radio
interference if used in close proximity to
receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to
stop using the mobile device if such interference
cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must
comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protection Association.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your mobile
device not expressly approved in this document
could void your warranty for this equipment and
void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas, and
chargers. The use of any unauthorized
accessories may be dangerous and void the
mobile device warranty if said accessories cause
damage or a defect to the mobile device.
Although your mobile device is quite sturdy, it is
a complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or
sitting on it.
Other Important Safety
Information
•
Only qualified personnel should service the mobile
device or install the mobile device in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and
may invalidate any warranty applicable to the
device.
•
Ensure that any mobile devices or related
equipment installed in your vehicle are securely
mounted.
•
Check regularly that all wireless mobile device
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
properly.
•
When using a headset in dry environments, static
electricity can build up in the headset and cause a
small quick static electrical shock. To minimize the
risk of electrostatic discharge from the headset
avoid using the headset in extremely dry
environments or touch a grounded unpainted metal
object to discharge static electricity before inserting
the headset.
•
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
mobile device, its parts, or accessories.

•
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember
that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including installed or portable wireless
equipment near or in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
•
Switch your mobile device off before boarding an
aircraft. The use of wireless mobile devices in
aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to the
aircraft's operation. Check with appropriate
authorities before using any function of a mobile
device while on an aircraft.
•
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the
suspension or denial of cell phone services to the
offender, or legal action, or both.
•
While using your device, leave some lights on in the
room and do not hold the screen too close to your
eyes.
•
Seizures or blackouts can occur when you are
exposed to flashing lights while watching videos or
playing games for extended periods. If you feel any
discomfort, stop using the device immediately.
•
Reduce risk of repetitive motion injuries. When you
repetitively perform actions, such as pressing keys,
drawing characters on a touch screen with your
fingers, or playing games, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, neck,
shoulders, or other parts of your body. When using
your device for extended periods, hold the device
with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, and take
frequent breaks. If you continue to have discomfort
during or after such use, stop use and see a
physician.
•
If your device has a camera flash or light, do not use
the flash or light close to the eyes of people or pets.
