Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength  
health and safety  
information  
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.  
Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or  
illegal situations and to ensure peak performance of your  
mobile phone.  
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.  
109  
   
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
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).  
There are several simple guidelines for operating your  
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
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’s inoperable,  
return it to a dealer store or call Customer Support for  
service.  
For the best care of your phone, only authorized  
personnel should service your phone and  
accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.  
110  
When available, use a hands-free phone.  
Position your phone within easy reach.  
Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone  
Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious  
personal injury and possible property damage.  
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;  
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or  
hazardous weather conditions.  
Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can  
cause hearing damage. Always turn the volume  
down before plugging the headphones into an audio  
source and use only the minimum volume setting  
necessary to hear your conversation or music.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while  
driving.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place  
calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations  
that may divert your attention from the road.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone  
without a hands-free phone) is prohibited in some  
jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.  
Remember that safety always comes first.  
Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from  
your wireless phone.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency  
wireless number when necessary.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed  
dial and re-dial.  
111  
 
with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has  
been added to your vehicle.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow  
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off  
in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause  
interference or danger.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical phones,  
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they  
are adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and  
request permission before using the phone near  
medical equipment.  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic  
Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent  
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal  
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to  
have permission from a crew member to use your phone  
while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of  
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone  
while the plane is in the air.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or  
their representative to determine if these systems are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check  
112  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone  
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating  
that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews  
often use remote-control RF phones to set off explosives.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or  
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
contains your phone or accessories.  
Turn off your phone when you are in an area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your phone or its  
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an  
explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These  
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. These areas  
include:  
Turning Off Your Phone During Thunderstorms  
Do not use your phone during a thunderstorm. Your phone  
may malfunction and your risk of electric shock is increased.  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
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, dial 911 by mistake or make calls that  
increase your phone bill.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such  
as grain, dust or metal powders.

Information to User  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with  
the limits of a Class B digital phone, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide  
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and  
can 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  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.  
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  
116  
 
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  
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.  
UMTS V: Head: 0.38 W/Kg; Body-worn: 0.36 W/Kg  
UMTS II: Head: 0.42 W/Kg; Body-worn: 0.44 W/Kg  
2.4 GHz WLAN: Head: 0.36 W/Kg; Body-worn: 0.08 W/Kg  
Owner’s Record  
The model number, regulatory number and serial number  
are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment.  
Record the serial number in the space provided below. This  
will be helpful if you need to contact us about your phone in  
the future.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which  
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,  
variations in SAR values between different model phones do  
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the  
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by  
the public.  
Model: SGH-I896  
Serial No.:  
The highest reported SAR values of the 896 are:
