Getting the Most Out of Your
Reception
health and safety
information
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next
to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the
stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a
window may give you better reception.
Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or
illegal situations and ensure peak performance of your mobile
device.
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
68
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital
mode.
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).
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below. In 1991-92, the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in
updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect
to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities, government
health agencies and industries developed this updated
standard after reviewing the available body of research. In
1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
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.
69
•
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
•
•
•
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving.
Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
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 device) 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.
•
•
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
70
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
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.
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.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,
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.
71
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 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.
•
•
•
•
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust or metal powders.
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 devices to
set off explosives.
•
Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your
vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
72
•
Use only Samsung approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
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.
•
•
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º
C).
Warning Regarding Display
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and
could break if your handset is dropped or if it receives
significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or cracked
as this could cause injury to you.
•
•
•
•
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used
for a long period of time.
Caring for the Battery
•
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. When used correctly, the
battery can be recharged hundreds of times before it
needs replacing.
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of
your battery’s performance.
73
•
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
Cautions
-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
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.
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact
your nearest service center.
Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or
business trash may be prohibited.

bending or sitting on it.
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon
battery.
Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
74
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
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount
of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless
handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models
are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
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.
•
•
Reorient / relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
75
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.
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.
