safety and usage information
Turn off the phone or disable the wireless
functions when in an aircraft
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft
equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off
your phone or switch to a mode that disables the
wireless functions when directed by airline personnel.
Protect batteries and chargers from damage
Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot
temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/
113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the
charging capacity and life of your batteries.
Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects,
as this can create a connection between the + and
– terminals of your batteries and lead to temporary or
permanent battery damage.
Never use a damaged charger or battery.

Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible
in some areas or circumstances. Before traveling in
remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method
of contacting emergency services personnel.
SAR information
Your phone conforms to U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) standards that limit human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by
radio and telecommunications equipment. These
standards prevent the sale of mobile phone that exceed
a maximum exposure level (known as the Specifi c
Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram.
During testing, the maximum SAR values recorded for
this model were:
Network
Frequency
Specifi c Absorption Rate
Held to ear
Worn on body
1
GSM850 (1g)
X.XX
X.XXX
GSM1900 (1g)
X.XXX
X.XXX
1. When used with accessories that contain no metal and
provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the phone
(including the antenna, whether extended or retracted) and
the wearer’s body.
Safety precautions
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all
regulations that restrict the use of mobile phones while
driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your
safety when possible.
Follow all safety warnings and regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a
mobile phone in a certain area.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
phone or cause injury.
Turn off the phone near medical equipment
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in
hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations,
posted warnings, and directions from medical
personnel.
In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much
lower, as the phone has been designed to emit only
the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the
nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower
levels when possible, your phone reduces your overall
exposure to RF energy.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone based on the compliance of
all reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. The authorization can be found on the FCC
Offi ce of Engineering and Technology website at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea (search for grantee code A3L
and product code
GT
M2520).
Phone layout
Your phone displays the following status indicators on
the top of the screen:
Safety warnings
Keep your phone away from small children and
pets
Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach
of small children or animals. Small parts may cause
choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Listening to a headset at high volumes can
damage your hearing. Use only the minimum
volume setting necessary to hear your
conversation or music.
Install mobile phones and equipment with
caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment
installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid
placing your phone and accessories near or in an air
bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless
equipment can cause serious injury when air bags infl ate
rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers
specifi cally designed for your phone.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious
injuries or damage to your phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fi re. Follow
all local regulations when disposing used batteries or
phones.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing
the battery to high external pressure, which can lead to
an internal short circuit and overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile
phones and pacemakers to avoid potential interference,
as recommended by manufacturers and the independent
research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you
have any reason to suspect that your phone is interfering
with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the
phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the
pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

Allow only qualifi ed personnel to service your
phone
Allowing unqualifi ed personnel to service your phone
may result in damage to your phone and will void your
warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as
overcharging may shorten battery life.
Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be
recharged before use.
Disconnect chargers from power sources when not
in use.
Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care
Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring
or accessing information, as this could result in loss of
data and/or damage to the card or phone.
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and
electrical noise from other devices.
Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span
of memory cards.
Do not touch gold-colored contacts or terminals with
your fi ngers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with
a soft cloth.

Turn off the phone in potentially explosive
environments
Do not use your phone at refueling points (service
stations) or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your phone
whenever directed by warning signs or instructions.
Your phone could cause explosions or fi re in and around
fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting
areas. Do not store or carry fl ammable liquids, gases,
or explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
While using your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed
grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that
reduce the number of keys you have to press (such as
templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.
Do not use the phone if the screen is cracked or
broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hand
and face. Bring the phone to a Samsung service centre
to replace the screen. Damage caused by careless
handling will void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak performance of your mobile phone.

Handle your phone carefully and sensibly
Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause
serious damage and will change the colour of the label
that indicates water damage inside the phone. Do not
handle your phone with wet hands. Water damage to
your phone can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas
to prevent damage to moving parts.
Your phone is a complex electronic device—protect
it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious
damage.
Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving
parts and prevent proper operation.
If your phone has a camera fl ash or light, avoid using it
close to the eyes of children or animals.
Your phone may be damaged by exposure to magnetic
fi elds. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with
magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in
contact with magnetic fi elds for extended periods of
time.
