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 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 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: 1.41 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.655 W/kg and GSM 1900 Head:
0.861 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.208 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.
