Health and safety information
SAR certification information
This phone meets European Union (EU)
requirements concerning exposure to radio
waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not
exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy, as recommended by the
EU Council. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations through
the periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to ensure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit
recommended by the EU Council is 2.0W/kg.1
The highest SAR value for this model phone was
0.119W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions 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
1. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of
body tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements. The SAR
values may vary, depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band.

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 base station,
the lower the power output of the phone.
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.
110
•
•
•
•
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 Samsungapproved 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.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places
because the capacity and lifetime of the
battery will be reduced.
X838_ENG.book Page 111 Tuesday, December 12, 2006 9:06 AM
Road safety
Health and safety information
Try to keep the battery at room temperature.
A phone with a hot or cold battery may not
work temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly
affected by temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object like a coin, clip or pen causes a direct
connection between the + and – terminals of
the battery (metal strips on the battery).
For example, do not carry a spare battery in
a pocket or bag where the battery may
contact metal objects. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the
object causing the short-circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When you are driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone
while driving, follow local regulations in the
country or region you are in.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in the area you are in, and always switch
off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use
it, or when it may cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for
detailed safety instructions. Do not connect
incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for
the safety of personnel, it is recommended that
the equipment should only be used in the
normal operating position (held to your ear with
the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Pacemakers
Electronic devices
Hearing aids
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research. If you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, switch off your phone immediately.

Posted facilities
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities
when regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so.
Switch off your phone in any facility where
posted notices require you to do so.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Health and safety information
Other medical devices
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while
at a refuelling point (service station). Users are
reminded of the need to observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chemical
plants, or where blasting operations are in
progress.

X838_ENG.book Page 114 Tuesday, December 12, 2006 9:06 AM
Health and safety information
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked. They
include the areas below decks on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane
or butane, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders, and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
Emergency calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates
using radio signals, wireless, and landline
networks as well as user-programmed
functions, which cannot guarantee connection
in all conditions. Therefore, you should never
rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications like medical emergencies.
114
To make or receive calls, the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate
signal strength. Emergency calls may not be
possible on all wireless phone networks or when
certain network services and/or phone features
are in use. Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. Switch on the phone.
2. Key in the emergency number for your
present location. Emergency numbers vary
by location.
3. Press [ ].
Certain features like Call Barring may need to
be deactivated before you can make an
