    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 RF exposure limits are derived from the 
    recommendations of two expert organizations: the National 
    Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) 
    and the Institute of Electric al 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 RF 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 SAR 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 reported 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 of the phone.
    Before a new model phone is ava ilable for sale to the public, 
    it must be tested and certifie d to the FCC that it does not 
    exceed the SAR 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  
    						
    							215
    FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory 
    that contains no metal and that
     positions the mobile device a 
    minimum of 1.0 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: 0.32 W/kg.
    Body-worn: 1.44 W/kg.
    FCC Radio Frequency Emission
    This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission 
    Guidelines.
    FCC ID: A3LSGHI317
    More information on the phones SAR can be found from the 
    following FCC website: 
    http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
    SAR information on this and other model phones can be 
    accessed online on the FCCs website through 
    http://
    transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that 
    pertains to a particular model  phone, this site uses the phone  FCC ID number which is usua
    lly 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 
    SAR information can also be obtained at 
    http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-
    cellular-telephones.

    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; 
    						
    							217
    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;
    Notice regarding legal  restrictions on mounting this device in 
    an automobile:
    Laws in some states may prohibit mounting this device on or 
    near the windshield of an auto mobile. In other states, the law

    Batter y 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, punc ture, 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 phones 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 contac t Samsung, even if they appear 
    to be working properly. 
    						
    							Health and Safety Information       218
    Do not place your battery in or near a heat source. Excessive 
    heating can damage the phone or the battery and could cause the 
    phone or the battery to explode. Do not dry a wet or damp battery 
    with an appliance or heat source such as a microwave oven, hair 
    dryer, iron, or radiator. Avoid leaving your phone in your car in 
    high temperatures.
    Do not dispose of the phone  or the battery in a fire. The phone 
    or the battery may explode when overheated.
    Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not let leaking 
    battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For 
    safe disposal options, contact your nearest Samsung-authorized 
    service center.
    Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone or the 
    battery, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause 
    damage to the phone and battery.  If you suspect damage to the 
    phone or battery, take it to a service center for inspection.
    Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
    Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Accidental 
    short-circuiting  can occur when a metallic object (coin, key, 
    jewelry, 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.
    Important! Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and  recharge your battery only with 
    Samsung-approved chargers which are 
    specifically designed for your phone.
    WARNING!
    Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may 
    present a risk of fire, explos ion, leakage, or other hazard
    . 
    Samsungs warranty does not cover damage to the phone 
    caused by non-Samsung-a pproved batteries and/or 
    chargers. 
    						
    							219
    Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. 
    Some websites and second-hand dealers not associated with 
    reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be selling 
    incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and chargers. 
    Consumers should purchase manufacturer or 
    carrier-recommended products and accessories. If unsure about 
    whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact 
    the manufacturer of the battery or charger.
    Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and 
    charging devices could result  in damage to the equipment 
    and a possible risk of fire, explosion, or leakage, leading to 
    serious injuries, damages to your phone, or other serious 
    hazard

    GPS
    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.
    Even with GPS, when you make an emergency call:
    Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of 
    your ability; and 
    						
    							Health and Safety Information       222
    Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency 
    responder instructs you.
    Navigation
    Maps, directions, and other navigation-data, including data 
    relating to your current location, 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 ar e 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 phone is not on, switch it on.
    2. From the Home screen, tap 
    . The dialer is 
    displayed.
    3. Key in the emergency number for your present location 
    (for example, 911 or other official emergency number). 
    Emergency numbers vary by location.
    4. Tap the   key.
    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: 
    						
    							223
    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 de vice 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.
    Paint
    Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the 
    device’s moving parts or vent
    ilation 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 po rtable 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.
