Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal
objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or
circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate
method of contacting emergency services personnel.
Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on
Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews
of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human
body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit
established by the FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung accessory
