Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery
provides approximately 3.4 hours of continuous digital talk time
(1.6 hours in analog) or approximately 168 hours of continuous
digital standby time (16 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Note:
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery

indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display
screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon
(

Remember, when you are using your phone off the available network,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Tip:
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls
on the available network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as data services.

Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some
features, such as data services, will be unavailable, you can still make
and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to
digital network service, you may notice some of the following
differences when using analog service:
ⅷ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.
ⅷ
Some features which are standard on the available network, such
as call waiting, data services, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the
available network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While
ⅷ
ⅷ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will
need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for
analog roaming.
If you’re on a call when you leave the available network and enter an
area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think network
service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
available network.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This
is normal for analog operation.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the available network, you may not
receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers
can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your
voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for
an extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your wireless phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press
.
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the available network, voicemail notification
will resume as normal.

Using Digit Dial
Digit Dial allows you dial any valid 7 or 10 digit North American
phone number by speaking the number naturally, without pausing
between the digits.
Tips for using Digit Dial:
ⅷ
Digit Dial works best in quieter environments.
ⅷ
When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say each
digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.
ⅷ
The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not recognize
numbers such as "one eight hundred" for "1-800." Instead, say
"one-eight-zero-zero."
ⅷ
ⅷ
The phone recognizes only valid 7 or 10 digit North American
phone numbers.
If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you
are using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to your voice, which
can significantly improve accuracy for some speakers. (See
"Adapting Digit Dial" on page 89 for details.)

Adapting Digit Dial
Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no training
or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual
voice characteristics may find difficulty in achieving high accuracy
with speaker independent Digit Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature
allows users to dramatically improve the digit accuracy through
adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit recognition accuracy will
find no additional benefit to performing the Adapt Digit adaptation.
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to your
voice. Other people will not be able to use Digit Dial on your phone
unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.
ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently mis-recognizing your
speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.
Note:
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the
system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.
Tips for adapting Digit Dial:

ⅷ
Adapt digits in a quiet place.
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.
Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.
If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or if
there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you can
say or select No when the prompt asks, “Did the recording sound
OK?”. You will then be prompted to re-record the sequence.
To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:
1. Press

5. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a normal
tone of voice. The phone plays back your recording and asks
you if the recording sounds "OK."
6. If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes, and no background
noises), say Yes. If you need to re-record the digits to fix any
problems, say No. The phone then prompts you to say the
digits again. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.
Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the recording.
7. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the
recording process with the next set of digits. After six sets of
digits, the phone will ask you whether you want to do more
adaptation. Answer Yes.
8. Repeat steps 4-8 for another six sets of digits. After the sixth set
of digits, you will be half way through the session and the
phone asks “More Adapatation?” Select OK to continue for six
more sets of digits, or press
for partial adapation. When
you are finished with a full session, you will reach a screen that
reads, “Adaptation Complete.”
It is recommended that you perform the complete adaptation of Digit Dial
at least once to achieve the maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial
adaptation is performed, you can always return later and resume the
process from the half way point.

Getting Started
With your Samsung A660 and your wireless service, you are ready to
start enjoying the advantages of data services. This section will help
you learn the basics of using your data services, including managing
your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the
Web with your phone.
Your User Name
When you buy a phone and sign up for service, you're automatically
assigned a user name, which is typically based on your phone
number.
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify
you to the available network. The user name is also useful as a way
to personalize Web services and as an online virtual identity.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into your phone.
You don't have to enter it.
Finding Your User Name
If you aren't sure what your data services user name is, you can
easily find it on your phone.
To find your user name:
ᮣ You can find your user name under the Phone Info option in
your phone's Settings menu. (From standby mode, press

launch your browser. When this occurs, you may not see the
“Connecting...” message when you launch the session. Though the
browser is open, you are not currently in an active data session –
that is, no data is being sent or received. As soon as you navigate to
another page, the active session will launch and you will see the
“Connecting...” message.
Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone's display lets you know the current status of your
data connection through indicators which appear at the top of the
screen. The following symbols are used:
Your data connection is active (data is being transferred); the
transmit/receive symbol will blink to indicate data transmission.
Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail; outgoing voice calls
can be made, but the data connection will terminate.
Your data connection is dormant (no data is being sent
or received). Though not currently active, when dormant the
phone can restart an active connection quickly; voice calls can
be made and received.
Your phone is not currently able to access data service features.

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 (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. Body-worn operations are
restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved, or non-Samsung designated accessories
that have no metal and must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device,
including its antenna (whether extended or retracted) and the user's body. Non-
compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of 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:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.36 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.923 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 0.88 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.667 W/kg

SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at
phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere
on the case of the phone. (This phone’s FCC ID number: a3lspha660.)
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
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.
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
Section 4A: Safety
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
132
hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA
has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the
following:
Ⅲ Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the
type emitted by wireless phones;
Ⅲ Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user that is not necessary for device function; and
Ⅲ 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:
Ⅲ National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Ⅲ Environmental Protection Agency
Ⅲ Federal Communications Commission
Ⅲ Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Ⅲ National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working
group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC
relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless
phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations
are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.
What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies
have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of radiofrequency 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 the
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
Section 4A: Safety
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
133
people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the results
of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the
use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or
acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health
effects from wireless phone 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 10 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-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
radiofrequency 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 the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a
broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency 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
radiofrequency 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.
Ⅲ 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 radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that
using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to
RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless
phones, there is no reason to believe that handsfree kits reduce risks. Hands-
free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These
systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone,
which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head.
On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of
the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.
Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements
regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.

Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF
radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless
phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the
head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the
user from 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 detailed test method
to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is
now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical
device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000.
This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested wireless phones
and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods
and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no
interference occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a compatible
hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions
with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur,
FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the
problem.

Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice,
almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car,
driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the
wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed dial and
redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer
of 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.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from
the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want
others to do for you.

137
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.

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 of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating
position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches)
be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
Ⅲ should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
Ⅲ should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Ⅲ should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your
phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.

138
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 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.

139
3. Press the Talk 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, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
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
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is
mounted and operating properly.
Ⅲ Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in
the same compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.
Ⅲ For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag
inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including both installed
and 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.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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 15 minutes of 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.
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 and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Ⅲ Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your
shoulder.
Ⅲ Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna.
Ⅲ Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
Ⅲ Speak directly into the phone's receiver.
Ⅲ 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.

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
Ⅲ Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Ⅲ Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery:
it may require cooling or warming first.
Ⅲ 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).
Ⅲ 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.

Ⅲ 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
Ⅲ Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of
small children.
Ⅲ Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
Ⅲ Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric
shock to you or damage to the phone.
Ⅲ Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts
may be damaged.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's moving parts and
prevent proper operation.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas or modified accessories may damage the phone
and violate regulations governing radio devices.
Ⅲ 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.
