Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.

Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing

Aid Device

A number of our phones have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.

4A. Important Safety Information 145

Boost SPH-M830.book Page 146 Friday, February 8, 2013 12:00 PM

Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI Standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both.

Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your Samsung Galaxy

Rush™ has an M4 T4 - 2007 rating .

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings : Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.)

T-Ratings : Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil

(“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:

䢇 Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.

䢇 Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

䢇 Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.

146 4A. Important Safety Information

Boost SPH-M830.book Page 147 Friday, February 8, 2013 12:00 PM

We further suggests you experiment with multiple phones

(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.

Getting the Best Hearing Device

Experience With Your Phone

To further minimize interference:

䢇 Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time intervals.

1.

Press >

Screen timeout .

and tap Settings > Display >

2.

Touch the minimum time interval setting.

䢇 Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.

䢇 Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.

䢇 Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Boost

Mobile is not aware of similar problems with Boost Mobile phones resulting from the proper use of batteries approved by the manufacturer of your phone. Use only manufacturerapproved batteries found through your phone’s manufacturer.

䢇 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).

䢇 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.

䢇 It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.

䢇 Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

䡲 Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

䡲 More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

4A. Important Safety Information 147

Boost SPH-M830.book Page 148 Friday, February 8, 2013 12:00 PM

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center.

Special Note : Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August

1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and

Measurements (NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use a manufacturer approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory.

If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.5 centimeters from your body when transmitting. Use of non-manufacturer-approved accessories may violate FCC

RF exposure guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless

Phones

The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that

4A. Important Safety Information

Boost SPH-M830.book Page 149 Friday, February 8, 2013 12:00 PM each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in

SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the Samsung Galaxy

Rush™ are:

PCS mode (Part 24) :

Head: 0.98 W/Kg, Body: 0.72 W/Kg

FCC Radio Frequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission

Guidelines.

The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator, whose award may not exceed, in form or amount, the relief allowed by the applicable law. The arbitration shall be

4B. Manufacturer’s Warranty 153

Boost SPH-M830.book Page 154 Friday, February 8, 2013 12:00 PM conducted according to the American Arbitration Association

(AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to consumer disputes. This arbitration provision is entered pursuant to the

Federal Arbitration Act. The laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its choice of laws principles, shall govern the interpretation of the Limited Warranty and all disputes that are subject to this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall decide all issues of interpretation and application of this arbitration provision and the Limited Warranty.

For any arbitration in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less

(“Small Claim”), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs as part of any award, but may not grant SAMSUNG its attorney fees, expert witness fees or costs unless it is determined that the claim was brought in bad faith. In a Small Claim case, you shall be required to pay no more than half of the total administrative, facility and arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of such fees, whichever is less, and SAMSUNG shall pay the remainder of such fees.

Administrative, facility and arbitrator fees for arbitrations in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert witness fees, exceed $5,000.00 (“Large Claim”) shall be determined according to AAA rules. In a Large Claim case, the arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among the parties, reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

This arbitration provision also applies to claims against

SAMSUNG’s employees, representatives and affiliates if any such claim arises from the Product’s sale, condition or performance.

You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure by providing notice to SAMSUNG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the Product. To opt out, you must send notice by e-mail to [email protected], with the subject line: “Arbitration

Opt Out.” You must include in the opt out e-mail (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the Product was purchased; (c) the Product model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable, if you have it (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found

Alternatively, you may opt out by calling 1-888-987-4357 no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the
