    Following Safety Guidelines
    Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request 
    permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.

    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 devices to 
    set off explosives.
    Note: 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’re in any area that has a 
    potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s 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. They include:
     ●Fueling areas such as gas stations.
     ●Below deck on boats. ●Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
     ●Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as 
    grain, dust or metal powders.
     ●Any other area where you would normally be advised to 
    turn off your vehicle’s engine.
    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.
    Caring for the Battery
    The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of 
    your 
     battery’s performance. 
    						
    							Health and Safety Information                 
    130
     ●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.
     ●In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in 
    temperatures that range from 32º F to 104º F  
    (0º C to 40º C).
     ●Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high 
    humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
     ●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.
     ●It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides  
    acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of 
    times before it needs replacing.
    Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long 
    periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
     
    Less than one month  32º F to 104º F (0º C to 40º C)
    Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
    For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact 
    your nearest Samsung-authorized service center. 
     ●For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion 
    battery.
     ●Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, 
    the disposal of batteries in household or business trash 
    may be prohibited.

    Acknowledging Special Precautions and FCC
    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.
    Body-Worn Operation
    To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if 
    you wear a handset on your body, use the Samsung 
    supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-
    worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, 
    ensure that the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 
    centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non- 
    Samsung approved accessories may violate FCC RF 
    exposure guidelines.

    FDA Consumer Update
    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 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  
    						
    							Health and Safety Information 
    133
    wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy 
    (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, 
    FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to 
    notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or 
    recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
    Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA 
    regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone 
    industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
     ●Support needed research into possible biological effects of 
    RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
     ●Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF 
    exposure to the user that it is not necessary for device 
    function; and
     ●Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the 
    best possible information on possible effects of wireless 
    phone use on human health.
    FDA belongs to a interagency working group of the federal 
    agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF 
    safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The 
    following agencies belong to this working group:
     ●National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
     ●Environmental Protection Agency
     ●Federal Communications Committee ●Occupational Safety and Health Administration
    The National Institutes of Health participates in some 
    interagency working group activities, as well.
    FDA shares regulatory responsibilities about 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 
    wireless exposures that people get from these base stations 
    are typically thousands of times lower than those they get  
    						
    							Health and Safety Information                 
    134
    from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject 
    of the safety questions discussed in this document.
    What kinds of phones are the subject of this 
    update?
    The term “wireless phones” refers here to hand-held 
    wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” 
    “mobile,” or “PCS”. 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 
    phone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower per 
    levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC 
    safety limits.
    What are the results of the research done 
    already?
    The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, 
    and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research 
    methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of 
    radio frequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of 
    wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often 
    cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal 
    studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could 
    Accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. 
    However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor 
    development used animals that had been genetically 
    engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as  
    						
    							Health and Safety Information 
    135
    to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF 
    exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 
    22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the 
    conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we 
    don’t know with certainty what 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, glaucoma, meningioma, or 
    acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, 
    leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies 
    demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects 
    from wireless phones RF exposures. However, none of the 
    studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, 
    since 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 
    threat?
    A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological 
    studies of people actually using wireless phones would 
    provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal 
    exposure studies could be completed in a few years. 
    However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to 
    provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one 
    exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is 
    directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more 
    years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about 
    some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the 
    interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing 
    agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be 
    many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological 
    studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF 
    exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many  
    						
    							Health and Safety Information                 
    136
    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. Toxicology Program and with 
    groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high 
    priority animal studies are conducted to address important 
    questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency 
    energy (RF).
    FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health 
    Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) 
    Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of tis 
    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.
    How can I find out how much radio frequency 
    energy exposure I can get by using my wireless 
    phone?
    All phones sold in the United States must comply with 
    Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that  
    						
    							Health and Safety Information 
    137
    limit radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC 
    established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and 
    other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for 
    exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific 
    Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). 
    The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards 
    developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic 
    Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation 
    Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into 
    consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the 
    tissue that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set 
    well below levels known to have effects.
    Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF 
    exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC 
    website (
    http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions 
    for locating the FCC identification number on your phone so 
    you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online 
    listing.
    What has FDA done to measure the radio 
    frequency energy coming from wireless 
    phones?
    The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is 
    developing a technical standard for measuring the radio 
    frequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and 
    other wireless hand sets with the participation and 
    leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, 
    “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak 
    Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to 
    Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental 
    Techniques,” sets forth the first consistent test methodology 
    for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads 
    of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-
    simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test 
    methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency 
    of measurements made at different laboratories on the
