 Important safety precautions

Read these guidelines before using your wireless phone. Failure to comply 

with them may be dangerous or illegal.

Drive safely at all times

Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; park your vehicle first. 

Switching off when refuelling

Do not use the phone at a refueling point (service station) or near fuels or 

chemicals.

Switching off in an aircraft

Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them in an aircraft is both 

illegal and dangerous.

Switching off near all medical equipment

Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that could be 

sensitive to external RF energy. Follow any regulations or rules in force.

Interference

All wireless phones may be subject to interference, which could affect their 

performance.

Special regulations

Follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off 

your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it.

Water resistance

Your phone is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.

Sensible use

Use only in the normal position (held to your ear). Avoid unnecessary 

contact with the antenna when the phone is switched on.

Emergency calls

Key in the emergency number for your present location, then press 

Do not end the call until given permission to do so.

Small children and your phone

Keep the phone and all its parts including accessories out of reach of small 

children.

Accessories and batteries

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and accessories, such as headsets 

and PC data cables. Use of any unauthorised accessories could damage 

your phone and may be dangerous.

Qualified service

Only qualified service personnel may repair your phone.

Risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

At very high volume, prolonged listening to a headset can damage 

your hearing.

CAUTION

 SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and 
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio 
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 
(FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive 
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general 
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards that were 
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and 
through evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the 
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of 
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set 
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg

*

.

 

The highest SAR values for this model phone as 

reported to the FCC are GSM 850 Head: 

0.902

 W/kg, Body-worn: 

0.607

 W/kg 

and GSM 1900 Head: 

1.08

 W/kg, Body-worn: 

0.403

 W/kg.

* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/

kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial 

margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any 

variations in measurements.
