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.
