in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily 
injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a refueling 
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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not 
always clearly marked. They include below deck 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 (medical 
emergencies, for example).
Remember, to make or receive any 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.If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2.Key in the emergency number for your present location (for 
example, 911 or other official emergency number). 
Emergency numbers vary by location.
3.Press the   key.
If certain features are in use (call barring, for example), you may 
first need to deactivate those features before you can make an 
emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular 
service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the 
necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that 
your phone may be the only means of communication at the 
scene of an accident; do not cut off the call until given 
permission to do so.
Restricting Childrens access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play 
with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage 
the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

Product Performance
Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the 
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the 
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the 
signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the 
signal.
If youre inside a building, being near a window may give you 
better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after searching, a Power 
Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it 
periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it 
yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays 
on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to 
standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When its 
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 watts to 0.2 
watts in digital mode.
Maintaining Your Phones Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should 
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the 
warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone 
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
u450.book  Page 148  Wednesday, August 19, 2009  6:03 PM 
						

							Health and Safety Information       149 
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is 
maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN 
components must be disabled during a call. For more information, 
refer to 
“Turning Bluetooth On or Off”  on page 82.
If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold the phone 
with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your shoulder.
Do not hold, bend or twist the phones antenna, if applicable.
Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna, obstructing the 
internal antenna could inhibit call performance.
Speak directly into the phones receiver.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If 
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove 
the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.
Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones
Many services and features are network dependent and may 
require additional subscription and/or usage charges. Not all 
features are available for purchase or use in all areas. 
Downloadable Ring Tones may be available at an additional cost. 
Other conditions and restrictions may apply. See your service 
provider for additional information.
Batter y Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage 
patterns and conditions. Battery power consumption depends on 
factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating 
temperature, features selected, frequency of calls, and voice, 
data, and other application usage patterns.
Batter y Precautions
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, 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 modify or remanufacture the battery as this could result in 
serious safety hazards.
If you use the phone near the networks 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.
Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the 
user’s guide.
u450.book  Page 149  Wednesday, August 19, 2009  6:03 PM 
						

							150
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and 
the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and 
discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the 
operation time (talk time and standby 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 Samsung-approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, 
disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery 
connected to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging may 
shorten its life.
Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some Web 
sites 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, leakage, or other serious hazard.
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, such as in a car in 
summer or winter conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and 
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room 
temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not 
work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are 
particularly affected by temperatures below 
0 °C (32 °F).
Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or 
near a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator. 
Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry and 
appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and 
pose a safety hazard. 
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur 
when a metallic object (coin, 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.
Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with metal 
objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry. 
Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery 
as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating. 
u450.book  Page 150  Wednesday, August 19, 2009  6:03 PM 
						

							Health and Safety Information       151 
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some 
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be 
prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact your 
nearest Samsung authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not 
dispose of batteries in a fire.
Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship 
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help 
you fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this 
product for many years.
Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of 
small children.
Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain 
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric 
shock to you or damage to the phone.
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts 
may be damaged.
Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the 
life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain 
plastics.
Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up to its 
normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, 
which may damage the phones electronic circuit boards.
Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break 
internal circuit boards.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to 
clean the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild 
soap-and-water solution.
Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the devices moving parts and 
prevent proper operation.
Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a microwave 
oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone may explode when overheated.
If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, use only the 
supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas 
or modified accessories may damage the phone and violate 
regulations governing radio devices.
If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not working properly, 
take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there 
will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.
