Description

 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 refueling

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 unauthorized 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

*

 

* 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.
