Health and safety
information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Signals

Certification 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,

44

Health and safety information

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.

45

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.

The highest SAR values for this model phone
as reported to the FCC are : GSM1900

Mode Head: 1.31 W/Kg, Body-worn:0.737
W/Kg.

For body worn operations, this model phone
has been testde and meets the FCC
exposure guidelines when used with a

Samsung accessory designated for this
product or when used with an accessroy that

contains no metal and that positons the
handset a minimum 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 A3LSWDS9402.
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.

Health and safety information

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

47

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 so-called “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 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:

48

Health and safety information

• “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

49

• “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
genetically engineered or treated with
cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre­disposed 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

50

Health and safety information

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

51

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' follow­up 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.

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

52

Health and safety information

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

53

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

54

Health and safety information

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?

55

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 will
conduct testing to assess the interference
and work to resolve the problem.

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.

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

57

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; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic
can be hazardous.

5. 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
while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.

58

Health and safety information

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.
Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone!

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.

59

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non­emergency wireless assistance number
when necessary. If you see a broken­down 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 non­emergency number.

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

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).

Using Your Phone Near Other
Electronic 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.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that
a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

60

Health and safety information

• should always keep the phone more than
15 cm
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when
the phone is switched on.

• should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.

• should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize potential
interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch your
phone off immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.

61

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 o ff 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

62

Health and safety information

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.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on
any wireless phone for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for
example).

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

63

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 .

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

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
15 minutes of searching, a Power Save
feature is automatically activated. If your
phone is active, it periodically rechecks

67

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.

Maintaining Your Phone's Peak
Performance

For the best care of your phone, only
authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Faulty service may
void the warranty.

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

• Hold the phone with the antenna raised,
fully-extended and over your shoulder.

• Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's
antenna.

• Don't use the phone if the antenna is
damaged.

• Speak directly into the phone's receiver.

• 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.

Health and safety 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

• Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged in any way.

• Use the battery only for its intended
purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network's
base station, it uses less power; talk and
standby time are greatly affected by the
signal strength on the cellular network

69

and the parameters set by the network
operator.

• 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.

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries
and recharge your battery only with
Samsung-approved chargers. When a
charger is not in use, disconnect it from
the power source. Do not leave the
battery connected to a charger for more

0than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its life.

• 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, such as in a car in summer or
winter conditions, as you will reduce the
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 short-circuit the battery.
Accidental short- circuiting 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.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with local regulations. In some areas, the
disposal of batteries in household or
business trash may be prohibited. 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.
