FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

Table of Contents

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and
Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S.and international standards bodies.The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these interna­tional standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.Unauthorized
antennas,modifications,or attachments could impair call
quality,damage the phone,or result in violation of FCC regu­lations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin,a minor burn may
result.Please contact your local dealer for replacement anten­na.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations
using a spacing of 2.0cm between the phone and the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,a minimum
separation distance of 2.0cm must be maintained between
the user’s body and the phone,including the antenna,
whether extended or retracted.The use of third-party belt­clips/ holsters with no metallic components that provide the
minimum separation distance of 2.0cm can be used to satisfy
FCC RF exposure requirements.The use of non-tested acces­sories or other body-worn operations may not comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
Contact your local dealer for optional accessory items.

For more information about RF exposure,please visit the
FCC web site at www.fcc.gov

Charging the Battery

You can easily tell if your battery needs to be re ch a rge d
by ch e cking the indicator in the upper-right cor­ner of your phone’s display. The presence of all thre e
b a rs indicates a full ch a rge ,t wo bars indicates a smaller
ch a rge ,and one bar indicates an even smaller ch a rge .
No bars ( ) means your battery must be ch a rge d .

When the battery ch a rge level gets low,the battery sen­sor blinks an empty battery icon ( ) ,sounds a tone.
If the battery level gets too low,the phone will turn off
a u t o m a t i c a l ly.U n fo rt u n a t e ly,if this happens yo u ’ll lose
w h a t ever you are doing,i n cluding dropping your call.
Wa t ch the battery strength icon and make sure your bat­t e ry is adequately ch a rge d .

Charging with the dual-slot desktop charger

Use only Samsung-approved ch a rge rs and adapters with
your Samsung PCS Phone.Use of any unauthorized acces­s o ries may be dange rous and will invalidate the phone wa r­ranty if the accessories cause damage or a defect to the
p h o n e .

1 . Plug the power cord of the ch a rger into a wall outlet.

To get the quickest ch a rge for any battery :
1 . Tu rn the phone off.
2 . Put the phone,with battery attach e d ,into the front slot.
3 . Do not put a battery in the rear slot.

When two batteries are in the ch a rge r,the batteri e s
ch a rge simu l t a n e o u s ly,but ch a rging time increases fo r
both batteri e s .

L e aving the battery in the ch a rger once it is fully
ch a rged does not harm the battery.

The LEDs on the front of the ch a rger indicate the fo l­l ow i n g :

Red indicates that the battery is ch a rgi n g .
G reen indicates that the battery is fully ch a rge d .
Ye l l ow indicates that the battery is operating at a

t e m p e ra t u re that is too high or too low,or that
something is not plugged in corre c t ly.C h e ck the
ch a rger and battery for proper connections.

Using the dual-slot desktop ch a rge r,a completely dis­ch a rged standard battery re ch a rges fully in approx i m a t e ly

2.5 hours .The extended battery re ch a rges in approx i m a t e ly
3 hours .

I n s e rt a single battery (alone,not attached to the
phone) into the rear compartment of the ch a rge r.
