Section 10: 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  
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, 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  
104  
       
(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.  
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF  
exposure guidelines.  
Health and Safety Information  
105  
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: 0.96 W/Kg.  
Body-worn: 1.08 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 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.  
108  
 
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
109  
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  
110  
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 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.  
Health and Safety Information  
111  
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-  
112  
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  
Health and Safety Information  
113  
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  
114  
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  
Health and Safety Information  
115  
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  
116  
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  
118  
 
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; 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.  
Health and Safety Information  
119  
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.

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 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:  
Health and Safety Information  
121  
 
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  
124  
   
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 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.  
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;  
Health and Safety Information  
125  
 
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:  
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 01-309 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.  
126  
   
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
127  
   
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is  
considered for best use.  
T3  
+
T2  
=
5
M3  
+
M2  
=
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.  
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.  
128  
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  
Health and Safety Information  
129  
 
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.  
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 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.  
130  
 
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. Children should not be allowed 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:

Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved  
in this document could void your warranty for this equipment, and  
void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved  
batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized  
accessories may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said  
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or  
sitting on it.  
Other Important Safety Information  
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a  
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate  
any warranty applicable to the device.  
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is  
mounted and operating properly.  
132  
 
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the  
same compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.  
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates  
with great force. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable  
wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment  
area. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,  
serious injury could result.  
Switch your phone off before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless  
phone in aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to the aircraft's operation.  
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial  
of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or both.  
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
133  
 
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 accessories. Faulty service may void the  
warranty.  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly  
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  
“Turning Bluetooth On/Off” on page 72  
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.  
134  
If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna, obstructing the internal  
antenna could inhibit call performance.  
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.  
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
135  
     
Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could result in serious  
safety hazards.  
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 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.  
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 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.  
136  
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, 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, 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 place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or near a  
cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator.  
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 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.  
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.  
Health and Safety Information  
137  
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.  
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. 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. 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.  
138  
 
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 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.
