Health and safety information
SAR certification information
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear was 0.822 W/kg
1
. As mobile phone
offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user
guide
2
. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is
0.749 W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting
power the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only
uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note
that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so
by limiting the length of calls or using a ‘hands-free’ device
to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
Precautions when using batteries
• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any
way.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it
uses less power. Talk and standby time are greatly
affected by the signal strength on the cellular network
and the parameters set by the network operator.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery
charge, the type of battery, and the charger used. The
battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation
time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a
new battery.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself
over time.
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your
battery only with Samsung-approved chargers.
Disconnect the charger from the power source when it is
not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for more than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its life.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of
your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.
1. The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
2. For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and
meets the RF exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung-
supplied or approved accessory designated for this product or
when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
