Section 14: Health and Safety Infor mation
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using 
your phone. The terms “mobile device” or “cell phone” are used 
in this section to refer to your phone. 
Read this information before 
using your mobile device.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published 
information for consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF) 
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the 
following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause 
cancer or other serious health hazards. The weight of scientific 
evidence has not linked cell phones with any health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over 
the past 15 years, scientists have conducted hundreds of studies 
looking at the biological effects of the radio frequency energy 
emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have reported 
biological changes associated with RF energy, these studies have 
failed to be replicated. The majority of studies published have 
failed to show an association between exposure to radio 
frequency from a cell phone and health problems.The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the 
microwave frequency range. They also emit RF at substantially 
reduced time intervals when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high 
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), 
exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects 
causes no known adverse health effects.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy should not be 
confused with the effects from other types of electromagnetic 
energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in 
X-rays and gamma rays, can ionize biological tissues. Ionization 
is a process where electrons are stripped away from their normal 
locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently damage 
biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy, 
including both radio waves and microwaves, are not great 
enough to cause ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, 
RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of 
non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation 
(heat), and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with 
relatively low frequencies. 
						

							Health and Safety Information       127
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can 
increase body temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two 
areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly 
vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood 
flow in them to carry away excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between 
RF and cer tain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition, 
attempts to replicate and confirm the few studies that have 
shown a connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the 
weight of scientific evidence does not show an association 
between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones and 
adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community has 
supported additional research to address gaps in knowledge. 
Some of these studies are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to determine 
whether cell phones increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A 
report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology 
(June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 
people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar 
number of healthy controls.Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain 
cancer. In this study, most people had no increased risk of brain 
cancer from using cell phones. For people with the heaviest use 
of cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every 
day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a slight increase in 
brain cancer. However, the authors determined that biases and 
errors prevented any conclusions being drawn from this data. 
Additional information about Interphone can be found at 
http://com.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not 
answer all questions about cell phone safety. Additional research 
is being conducted around the world, and the FDA continues to 
monitor developments in this field.
Inter national Cohor t Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring 
of a large group of people to determine if there are any health 
issues linked to long-term exposure to radio frequency energy 
from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow 
approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 
30 years. Additional information about the COSMOS study can be 
found at
 http://www.ukcosmos.org/index.html.

Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields 
in Childhood and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship 
between exposure to radio frequency energy from 
communication technologies including cell phones and brain 
cancer in young people. This is an international multi-center 
study involving 14 European and non-European countries. 
Additional information about MOBI-KIDS can be found at
http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/view.php?ID=39..
Sur veillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program 
of the National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer 
statistics in the United States to detect any change in rates of 
new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for 
brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phone use 
has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 
and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did 
not increase. Additional information about SEER can be found at
http://seer.cancer.gov/.
Cell Phone Industr y Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory 
actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry to take a 
number of steps, including the following:
Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for 
the type of signal emitted by cell phones;
Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the 
user; and
Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current 
information on cell phone use and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies 
such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 
(IEEE), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation 
Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards 
continue to adequately protect the public.

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other 
Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy 
(RF) from cell phones - and at this point we do not know that 
there is - it is probably very small. But, if you are concerned 
about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple 
steps to minimize your RF exposure.
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your 
head and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and 
various types of body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and 
holsters. Combinations of these can be used to reduce RF energy 
absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone 
is held away from the head in the users hand or in approved 
body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S. are 
required to meet RF exposure compliance requirements when 
used against the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions 
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for convenience 
and comfort. They are also required by law in many states if you 
want to use your phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from 
RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions 
from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories 
which claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce 
risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF 
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing 
more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies 
have shown that these products generally do not work as 
advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits, these so-called “shields” 
may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may 
be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an 
increase in RF absorption. 
						

							130
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of 
cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers. 
The steps adults can take to reduce RF exposure apply to 
children and teenagers as well.
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the 
head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have 
advised that children be discouraged from using cell phones at 
all. For example, The Stewart Report from the United Kingdom 
made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report, 
a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that 
using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their 
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly 
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any 
health hazard exists.Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from various 
sources can be obtained from the following organizations

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification 
Infor mation
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 
Council 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 phone has been tested and meets 
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that 
contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a 
minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF 
exposure guidelines. 
						

							132
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile 
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance 
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values 
for this model phone as reported in the FCC equipment 
authorization grant are:
Head: 0.68 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.72 W/Kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed 
online at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. To find information that 
pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone 
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case 
of the phone.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to 
find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a 
particular phone, follow the instructions on the website and it 
should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular 
phone. Additional product specific SAR information can also be 
obtained at 
www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.
Smart Practices While Driving
On the Road - Off the Phone
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of 
his or her vehicle.
Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task should be 
performed while driving whether it be eating, drinking, talking to 
passengers, or talking on a mobile phone - unless the driver has 
assessed the driving conditions and is confident that the 
secondary task will not interfere with their primary responsibility. 
Do not engage in any activity while driving a moving vehicle which 
may cause you to take your eyes off the road or become so 
absorbed in the activity that your ability to concentrate on the act 
of driving becomes impaired
. Samsung is committed to promoting 
responsible driving and giving drivers the tools they need to 
understand and address distractions.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and 
their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. 
The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain 
areas. For example, only hands-free use may be permitted in 
certain areas.
Before answering calls, consider your circumstances. Let the call 
go to voicemail when driving conditions require. Remember, 
driving comes first, not the call! 
						

							Health and Safety Information       133
If you consider a call necessary and appropriate, follow these 
tips:
Use a hands-free device;
Secure your phone within easy reach;
Place calls when you are not moving;
Plan calls when your car will be stationary;
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations;
Let the person with whom you are speaking know that you are driving 
and will suspend the call if necessary;
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving;

Batter y Use and Safety
Important!: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. 
Most battery issues arise from improper handling of batteries 
and, particularly, from the continued use of damaged batteries.
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt 
to change the form of your battery. Do not put a high degree of 
pressure on the battery. This can cause leakage or an internal short-
circuit, resulting in overheating.
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with liquids. Liquids can get into the phones circuits, leading to corrosion. Even 
when the phone appears to be dry and appears to operate normally, 
the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard. If the 
phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your service 
provider or contact Samsung, even if they appear to be working 
properly. 
						

							134
Do not place your battery in or near a heat source. Excessive 
heating can damage the phone or the battery and could cause the 
phone or the battery to explode. Do not dry a wet or damp battery with 
an appliance or heat source such as a microwave oven, hair dryer, 
iron, or radiator. Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high 
temperatures.
Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire. The phone or 
the battery may explode when overheated.
Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not let leaking 
battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For safe 
disposal options, contact your nearest Samsung-authorized service 
center.
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone or the battery, 
especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the 
phone and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take 
it to a service center for inspection.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Accidental 
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, key, jewelry, 
clip, or pen) causes a direct connection between the + and - terminals 
of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for example when you carry 
a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may 
damage the battery or the object causing the short-circuiting.
Important!: Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your battery 
only with Samsung-approved chargers which are specifically 
designed for your phone.
Warning!: Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present a 
risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Samsungs 
warranty does not cover damage to the phone caused by non-
Samsung-approved batteries and/or chargers.
Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some 
websites and second-hand dealers not associated with reputable 
manufacturers and carriers, might be selling incompatible or even 
counterfeit batteries and chargers. Consumers should purchase 
manufacturer or carrier-recommended products and accessories. If 
unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, 
contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.
Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and charging 
devices could result in damage to the equipment and a possible 
risk of fire, explosion, or leakage, leading to serious injuries, 
damages to your phone, or other serious hazard
.
