Section 1: Getting Started





Getting up and running is a quick and easy set of steps. This section walks you through the steps necessary to install your battery pack, turn on your phone, setup service, and make your first call.

Installing the Battery

1. Press down on the rear cover (label side) with

your thumbs, as indicated below, and while applying some pressure, slide the cover away.

2. Insert the battery (label side up as shown) into

the battery compartment so that the metal contacts on the phone match up with those on the battery.

Warning!:

Use only Virgin Mobile-approved or Samsungapproved batteries and chargers with your phone. Failure to use these approved devices may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

3. Position the battery cover over the battery (3)

and firmly slide it in until you hear a click (4).

Getting Started 4

Removing the Battery

1. Press down on the rear cover (label side) with

your thumbs, and while applying some pressure, slide the cover away.

2. Insert your finger into the indention (shown

here) and in a single motion, pull the battery out from the compartment.

3. Position the battery cover over the battery and

firmly slide it in until you hear a click.

Battery Capacity

Your phone comes with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. The battery can be recharged using the enclosed charger. This allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to

3.5 hours of continuous digital talk time.

Warning!:

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers with your phone. Failure to use these approved devices may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Note:

Some phone features such as long backlight settings, vibrate mode, brightness settings, Bluetooth activity, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times. It is recommended that you watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Charging the Battery

Prior to your initial use of the phone, it is recommended that you fully charge your battery. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off, and you can lose any progress information. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper right corner of your display screen.

Plug the flat end of the charger into the

Antenna

phone’s power/accessory interface connector and the other end into an electrical outlet.

Battery Charging Tips

•

The battery is not charged at the time of purchase, it must be fully charged prior to the phone’s first use.

•

When charging the battery with the phone off, the charging status displays. You can not operate the phone until it is powered back on.

•

Charging the phone while off greatly reduces the charge time.

•

If the battery ever fails to perform normally, contact Virgin Mobile Customer Care to replace it.

Warning!:

Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Note:

If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 94.

Correct and Incorrect Handling

The antenna is located at the base of the phone. Blocking it can result in reduced signal strength and quality.

Section 16: Health and Safety Information

This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using your phone. These safety precautions should be followed to safely use your phone.

Health and Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

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 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 (1.6 W/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 while 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 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 handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.

Health and Safety Information 76

Page 80

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: 0.932 W/Kg W/Kg.

•

Body-worn: 0.709 W/Kg.

SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed online at

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea

. 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 product specific SAR information can also be obtained at

www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones

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:

What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?

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 socalled "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.

Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

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.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?

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

Health and Safety Information 78

Page 82

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.

What are the results of the research done already?

The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.

However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been

Page 83

genetically engineered or treated with cancercausing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health.

Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phones RF exposures.

However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.

What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years.

However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer

promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more years' follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.

This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.

What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF?

FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization international Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.

An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.

Health and Safety Information 80

Page 84

FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations.

CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products - 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 exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).

Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.

•

If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.

What about children using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in 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.

Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF emissions?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to

believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.

Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work?

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.

What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a compatible hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA

Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must

uphold. Always comply with road safety regulations on using a mobile phone while driving. Using a mobile phone while driving can be dangerous.

When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its

features, such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. If

possible, add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.

Be able to access your wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with know you

are driving. Suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.

Page 87

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,

place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-

1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-

emergency wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency number.

"The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving."

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 cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to

Health and Safety Information 84

Page 88

permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth or other 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 no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of sound, settings and equipment.

You should follow some commonsense 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.

•

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.

•

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.

Operating Environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating position (held to your

ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder if you are using an external antenna).

Using Your Phone Near Other Electr onic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.

Persons who have such devices:

•

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the phone is turned ON;

•

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

•

Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference;

•

Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place;

•

Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with

such a device, consult your health care provider. For more information see:

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html

Health and Safety Information 86

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids.

The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.

While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones 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 phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings

: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings

: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together.

A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.

M3 + M2 = 5

T3 + T2 = 5

In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This is synonymous for T ratings. This should provide the hearing aid user with "normal usage" while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. "Normal usage" in this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.

Page 91

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules.

The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Switch your phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Environments

Switch your phone off when in any area 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 phone 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 vehicle engine.

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions areas or circumstances. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (medical emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote or

Health and Safety Information 88

Page 92

underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2. Key in the emergency number for your present

location (for example, 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.

3. Press the key.

If certain features are in use (call barring, for example), you may first need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident; do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.

Restricting Children's access to your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

FCC Notice and Cautions

FCC Notice

The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone 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:

Product Performance

Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.

If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key.

Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.

Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance

For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your phone and

Health and Safety Information 90

Page 94

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

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

•

To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN components must be disabled during a call. For more information, refer to

“Using Bluetooth”

on page 57.

•

If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your shoulder.

•

Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if applicable.

•

Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

•

If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna, obstructing the internal antenna could inhibit call performance.

•

Speak directly into the phone's receiver.

•

If your phone has a SIM or memory card: (i) handle the SIM or memory card with care, (ii) 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 of phone, (iii) protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices, and (iv) do not touch gold-colored contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal objects (if dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth).

•

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn

the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.

Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones

Many services and features are network dependent and may require additional subscription and/or usage charges. Not all features are available for purchase or use in all areas. Downloadable Ring Tones may be available at an additional cost. Other conditions and restrictions may apply. See your service provider for additional information.

Battery Standby and Talk Time

Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery power consumption depends on factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage patterns.

Battery Precautions

•

Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, 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 modify or remanufacture the battery as this could

result in serious safety hazards. Use batteries only for their intended use.

•

If you use the phone near the network's base station, it

uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly

Page 95

affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.

•

Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the user’s guide.

•

Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

•

If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time and must be recharged before use.

•

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers which are specifically designed for your phone. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.

•

Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some Web sites and second-hand dealers, not associated with reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be selling incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and chargers. Consumers should purchase manufacturer or carrier recommended products and accessories. If unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.

•

Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and charging devices could result in damage to the equipment and a possible risk of fire, explosion, leakage serious injuries, damage to your phone, or other serious hazard.

•

Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.

•

Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, (below 0 °C (32 °F) or over 45 °C (113 °F) such as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as you will reduce the charging capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

•

Do not place the battery in, on or near areas that may get very hot, such as on or near a microwave oven, cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator. Batteries may explode when overheated.

•

Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.

•

Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental shortcircuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, 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.

•

Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.

•

Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.

•

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in

Health and Safety Information 92

Page 96

household or business trash may be prohibited. Do not handle a damaged or leaking Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone 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 the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the

reach of small children.

•

Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

•

Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or damage to the phone.

•

Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.

•

Do not store the phone in hot areas (over 45 °C (113 °F)). High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

•

Do not store the phone in cold areas (below 0 °C (32 °F)). When the phone warms up to its normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, which may damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.

•

Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.

•

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong

detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.

•

Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's moving

parts and prevent proper operation.

•

Do not put the phone in or near areas that may get very

hot devices, such as a microwave oven, cooking surface, iron or a radiator. Do not dispose of the phone in a fire. The phone may explode when overheated.

•

Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a

microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone may explode when overheated.

•

If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, use

only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas or modified accessories may damage the phone and violate regulations governing radio devices.

•

If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not

working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.

•

Dispose of phones in accordance with local regulations. In

some areas, the disposal of phones in household or business trash may be prohibited. For safe disposal options for phones, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center.
