a soft cloth.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible
in some areas or circumstances. Before travelling in
remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method
of contacting emergency services personnel.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certication Information (SAR)Your wireless phone
is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits
for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
government. These FCC exposure limits are derived
from the recommendations of two expert organizations,
the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed by scientic and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government,
and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic
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
Specic 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
•
Turn off the phone in potentially explosive
environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service
stations) or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your phone
whenever directed by warning signs or instructions.
Your phone could cause explosions or re in and around
fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting
areas. Do not store or carry ammable liquids, gases,
or explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on
your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip, press
the buttons lightly, use special features that reduce the
number of buttons you have to press
(such as templates and predictive text), and take
frequent breaks.
Safety precautions
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all
regulations that restrict the use of mobile phones while
driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your
safety when possible.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers
specically designed for your phone.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious
injuries or damage to your phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phone in a re. Follow
all local regulations when disposing used batteries or
phone.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing
the battery to high external pressure, which can lead to
an internal short circuit and overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile
phones and pacemakers to avoid potential interference,
as recommended by manufacturers and the independent
research group, Wireless Technology Research.
If you have any reason to suspect that your phone is
interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn
off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer
of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

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 certied power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certied 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 certied 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. The highest SAR
values for this model phone as reported to the FCC
are: GSM850 Head:0.113 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.838
W/Kg; GSM1900 Head: 0.152 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.917
W/Kg.For body worn operation, this model phone has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
whenused with a Samsung accessory designated
for this product or when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a
minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Non-compliance with
the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.SAR information on this and
other model phones can be viewed on-line at www.fcc.
gov/oet/fccid. This site uses the phone FCC ID number,
A3LSWDS3600. Sometimes it may be necessary to
remove the battery pack to nd 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 specic SAR information can
also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.
