cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Children could also damage the phone, dial 911 by
mistake or make calls that increase your phone bill.
information
Comply with the following precautions to avoid
dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak
performance of your mobile phone.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure to sound at high
volume can cause hearing damage.
Always turn the volume down before
plugging in the earphones and use only
the minimum volume setting necessary to
hear your conversation or music.
68
• 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.
Install mobile devices and equipment
with caution
Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment
installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid
placing your phone and accessories near or in an air
bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless
equipment can cause serious injury when air bags
inflate rapidly.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Handle and dispose of batteries and
chargers with care
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers specifically designed for your phone.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause
serious injuries or damage to your phone.
• Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire.
Follow all local regulations when disposing used
batteries or phones.
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.
69
Turn off the phone in potentially
explosive environments
Safety precautions
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
fire in and around fuel or chemical storage and
transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in
the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or
accessories.
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.
Follow all safety warnings and
regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a
mobile phone in a certain area.
Do not use the phone if the screen is
cracked or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your
hand and face. Bring the phone to a Samsung
service centre to replace the screen. Damage
caused by careless handling will void your
manufacturer’s warranty.
Use only Samsung-approved
accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
phone or cause injury. The only stereo headset
70
approved for use with this phone is Samsung
GH59-07345A stereo headset.
Avoid interference with other electronic
devices
Turn off the phone near medical
equipment
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in
hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all
regulations, posted warnings, and directions from
medical personnel.
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that
may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded
electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices
in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of
your electronic devices to solve any interference
problems you experience.
Protect batteries and chargers from
damage
• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot
temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/
113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the
charging capacity and life of your batteries.
Turn off the phone or disable the
wireless functions when in an aircraft
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft
equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off
your phone or switch to a mode that disables the
wireless functions when directed by airline
personnel.
• Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects,
as this can create a connection between the +
71
and - terminals of your batteries and lead to
temporary or permanent battery damage.
• Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog
moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Never use a damaged charger or battery.
• Your phone may be damaged by exposure to
magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or
accessories with magnetic closures or allow your
phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for
extended periods of time.
Handle your phone carefully and
sensibly
• Do not disassemble your phone due to a risk of
electric shock.
• Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can
cause serious damage and will change the colour
of the label that indicates water damage inside the
phone. Do not handle your phone with wet
hands. Water damage to your phone can void
your manufacturer’s warranty.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion
injuries
While using your phone, hold it with a relaxed grip,
press the keys lightly, use special features that
reduce the number of keys you have to press (such
as templates and predictive text), and take frequent
breaks.
• Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty
areas to prevent damage to moving parts.
• Your phone is a complex electronic device—
protect it from impacts and rough handling to
avoid serious damage.
72
Allow only qualified personnel to service
your phone
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone
may result in damage to your phone and will void
your warranty.
Important usage information
Signal Strength
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.
Ensure maximum battery and charger
life
• Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as
overcharging may shorten battery life.
• Over time, unused batteries will discharge and
must be recharged before use.
• Disconnect chargers from power sources when
not in use.
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.
• Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
73
Handle SIM cards and memory cards
with care
• 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 or phone.
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.
• Protect cards from strong shocks, static
electricity, and electrical noise from other devices.
Correct disposal of this product
The product and its electronic accessories (e.g.,
charger, headset, USB cable) should not be

disposed of with other household waste at the end
of their working life. To prevent possible harm to the
environment or human health from uncontrolled
waste disposal, please separate these items from
other types of waste and recycle them responsibly to
promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.
• Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals
with your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the
card with a soft cloth.
74
Correct disposal of batteries in this
product
The batteries in this product should not be disposed
of with other household waste at the end of their
working life.
Where marked, the chemical symbols Hg, Cd or Pb
indicate that the battery contains mercury, cadmium
or lead above reference levels. If batteries are not
properly disposed of, these substances can cause
harm to human health or the environment.
Radio frequency safety
The design of your phone complies with updated
NCRP standards described below. In 1991-92, the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians
from universities, government health agencies and
industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In
August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and
the guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
To protect natural resources and to promote material
reuse, please separate batteries from other types of
waste and recycle them through your local, free
battery return system.
This phone is compliant with RoHS.

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the

following measures:
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user
of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an
extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the
phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
• Reorient / relocate the receiving antenna.

because of a variety of factors including its proximity
to a base station antenna, phone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in
SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
WLAN IEEE 802.11b
0.35 W/kg
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
