SAR Information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on the safety standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement
known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
The highest SAR values for this model phone were Head: 0.43 W/kg,
Body-worn: 0.73 W/kg.

.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published information for
consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones.
The FDA publication includes the following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause cancer or other
serious health hazards. The weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell phones
with any health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over the past 15 years,
scientists have conducted hundreds of studies looking at the biological effects of
the radio frequency energy emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have
reported biological changes associated with RF energy, these studies have failed to
be replicated. The majority of studies published have failed to show an association
between exposure to radio frequency from a cell phone and health problems.
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the microwave frequency
range. They also emit RF at substantially reduced time intervals 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.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy should not be confused with the
effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.
Health and Safety Information
59
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma
rays, can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are
stripped away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can
permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy, including both radio
waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause ionization of atoms and
molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of
non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat), and other forms
of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can increase body
temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the
testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little
blood flow in them to carry away excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between
RF and certain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition, attempts to
replicate and confirm the few studies that have shown a connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community has
supported additional research to address gaps in knowledge. Some of these studies
are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to determine whether cell phones
increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A report published in the International
Journal of Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for more than
5,000 people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar number of
healthy controls.
60
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain cancer. In this
study, most people had no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell phones.
For people with the heaviest use of cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per
day, every day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a slight increase in brain
cancer. However, the authors determined that biases and errors prevented any
conclusions being drawn from this data. Additional information about Interphone
can be found at
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not answer all questions
about cell phone safety. Additional research is being conducted around the world,
and the FDA continues to monitor developments in this field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a large group of
people to determine if there are any health issues linked to long-term exposure to
radio frequency energy from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow
approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 30 years.
Additional information about the COSMOS study can be found at
.
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in Childhood and
Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship between exposure
to radio frequency energy from communication technologies including cell phones
and brain cancer in young people. This is an international multi-center study
involving 14 European and non-European countries. Additional information about
MOBI-KIDS can be found at
.
Health and Safety Information
61
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National
Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the United
States to detect any change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones
play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phone
use has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 and 2005, the
overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase. Additional
information about SEER can be found at
.
Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA
has urged the cell phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
•
Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of signal emitted
by cell phones;
•
•
Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user; and
Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell phone use
and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards
continue to adequately protect the public.
Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF) from cell phones
- 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 RF exposure.
62
•
•
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head and the cell
phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and various types of
body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these can
be used to reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone is held away from
the head in the user's hand or in approved body-worn accessories. Cell phones
marketed in the U.S. are required to meet RF exposure compliance requirements
when used against the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones,
there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can
be used for convenience and comfort. They are also required by law in many states
if you want to use your phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from
RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones,
there is no reason to believe that accessories which 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 “hands-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.
Health and Safety Information
63
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF
exposure, including children and teenagers. The steps adults can take to reduce RF
exposure apply to children and teenagers as well.
•
•
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the head and the cell
phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children
be discouraged from using cell phones at all. For example, The Stewart Report from
the United Kingdom made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this
report, a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a
cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit
cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information
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 Council 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 (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.
Health and Safety Information
65
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 mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
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: 0.43 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.73 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

Smart Practices While Driving
On the Road - Off the Phone
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of his or her vehicle.
Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task should be performed while
driving whether it be eating, drinking, talking to passengers, or talking on a mobile
phone - unless the driver has assessed the driving conditions and is confident that
the secondary task will not interfere with their primary responsibility. Do not engage
in any activity while driving a moving vehicle which may cause you to take your eyes
off the road or become so absorbed in the activity that your ability to concentrate on
the act of driving becomes impaired. Samsung is committed to promoting
responsible driving and giving drivers the tools they need to understand and address
distractions.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be
prohibited or restricted in certain areas. For example, only hands-free use may be
permitted in certain areas.
Before answering calls, consider your circumstances. Let the call go to voicemail
when driving conditions require. Remember, driving comes first, not the call!
If you consider a call necessary and appropriate, follow these tips:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use a hands-free device;
Secure your phone within easy reach;
Place calls when you are not moving;
Plan calls when your car will be stationary;
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations;
Let the person with whom you are speaking know that you are driving and will suspend the
call if necessary;
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving;

Battery Use and Safety
Important!: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most battery issues arise
from improper handling of batteries and, particularly, from the continued use of
damaged batteries.
•
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change the form
of your battery. Do not put a high degree of pressure on the battery. This can cause
leakage or an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
•
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with liquids. Liquids can get into the
phone's circuits, leading to corrosion. Even when the phone appears to be dry and appears
to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard. If the
phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your service provider or contact
Samsung, even if they appear to be working properly.
68
•
Do not place your battery in or near a heat source. Excessive heating can damage the

GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global Positioning System (GPS)
signal for location-based applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S.
Government that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the
Department of Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP).
Changes may affect the performance of location-based technology on your
mobile device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an Assisted Global Positioning
System (AGPS), which obtains information from the cellular network to improve
GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless service provider's network and
therefore airtime, data charges, and/or additional charges may apply in accordance
with your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the
approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected to a
wireless network transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use
applications that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such
applications transmit location-based information. The location-based information
may be shared with third-parties, including your wireless service provider,
applications providers, Samsung, and other third-parties providing services.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate AGPS
technology in your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your
approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
•
•
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and
Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.
Health and Safety Information
73
Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation data may contain inaccurate or incomplete
data, and circumstances can and do change over time. In some areas, complete
information may not be available. Therefore, you should always visually confirm that
the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see before following them.
All users should pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors
that may impact safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs
.
Emergency Calls
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline networks, as well as user-programmed functions,
which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions, areas, or circumstances.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless mobile device for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote
or underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency
services personnel. Remember, to make or receive any calls, the mobile device
must be switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless mobile device networks or
when certain network services and/or mobile device features are in use. Check with
local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the mobile device 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 the “Send” key.
If certain features are in use (call blocking, for example), you may first need to
deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Consult your
User Manual and your local cellular service provider. When making an emergency
call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible.
74
Remember that your mobile device 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.
Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device 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 your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals
that will corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile device does get wet, do not
accelerate drying with the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may
damage the mobile device and could cause a fire or explosion. Do not use the
mobile device with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or
damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven. Doing so may cause a fire
or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the mobile
device. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
Health and Safety Information
75
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts or ventilation
openings and prevent proper operation.
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 cell phones, 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 common sense recommendations when using any portable
audio device:
•
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio source.
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear
adequately.
•
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, not realizing that the
higher volume may be harmful to your hearing.
76
•
•
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.

Using Your Mobile Device 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 mobile device. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld
wireless mobile device 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 mobile device more than six (6) inches from their implantable
medical device when the mobile device is turned ON;
•
•
Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential
for interference;
•
•
Should turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place;
Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical
device. If you have any questions about using your wireless mobile device with an
implantable medical device, consult your health care provider.
For more information see: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html#
.
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
mobile device 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.
Health and Safety Information
79
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 before using your mobile device in a motor vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch your mobile device off in any facility where posted notices require you to
do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your mobile device 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 mobile device 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 area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
FCCHearingAidCompatibility(HAC)RegulationsforWireless
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 mobile devices
under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless
mobile devices be compatible with hearing aids.
80
The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
services for persons with hearing disabilities. While some wireless mobile devices
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 mobile devices also vary in the
amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless mobile
devices to assist hearing device users find mobile devices that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices
that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
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 mobile device successfully. Trying
out the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings: Mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices 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 mobile device rating values are then added together.
Health and Safety Information
81
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
mobile device 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 mobile device.
“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.
Restricting Children's Access to Your
Mobile Device
Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it because they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the mobile device, or make calls that
increase your mobile device bill.
Keep the mobile device and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small
children.
82
