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
serioushealthhazards.Theweightofscienticevidencehasnotlinkedcell
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.
Health and Safety
Health and Safety 145
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
Health and Safety
146 Health and Safety
forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.
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
bloodowinthemtocarryawayexcessheat.
Research Results to Date:
Is there a connection between RF and certain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition, attempts to
replicateandconrmthefewstudiesthathaveshownaconnectionhavefailed.
Thescienticcommunityatlargethereforebelievesthattheweightofscientic
evidence does not show an association between exposure to Radio Frequency

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
Health and Safety

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/.

International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a large

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://

Surveillance, 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/.

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.
•Reducetheamountoftimespentusingyourcellphone;
•Usespeakermodeoraheadsettoplacemoredistancebetweenyourhead
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
Health and Safety
Health and Safety 151
from the head in the user’s 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.

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

Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) Certication Information
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 RF 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).Inbothcases,therecommendationsweredevelopedbyscienticand
engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after
extensivereviewsofthescienticliteraturerelatedtothebiologicaleffectsofRF
energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
ofmeasurementknownastheSpecicAbsorptionRate(SAR).TheSARisa
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).
Health and Safety
Health and Safety 155
The FCC SAR 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
FCCwiththephonetransmittingatitshighestcertiedpowerlevelinalltested
frequencybands.AlthoughtheSARisdeterminedatthehighestcertiedpower
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum reported 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 of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
andcertiedtotheFCCthatitdoesnotexceedtheSARlimitestablishedby
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 SAR guidelines when used

Battery 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.
Health and Safety
162 Health and Safety
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with liquids. Liquids can get into
the phone’s 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.
Do not place your battery in or near a heat source. Excessiveheating 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 re. The phone or the battery
may explode when overheated.
Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Donotletleakingbatteryuid
come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For safe disposal options,
contact your nearest Samsung-authorized service center.
Health and Safety
Health and Safety 163
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-
ciruiting 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 specically designed for your phone.
Warning!:Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present a risk of re,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Samsung’s warranty does not cover damage to the
phone caused by non-Samsung-approved batteries and/or chargers.
Health and Safety
164 Health and Safety
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 re, explosion, or
leakage, leading to serious injuries, damages to your phone, or other serious
hazard.

U.S. Government that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with
the Department of Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan
(FRP). Changes may affect the performance of location-based technology on your
mobile device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an Assisted Global Positioning
System (AGPS), which obtains information from the cellular network to improve
GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless service provider’s network and
therefore airtime, data charges, and/or additional charges may apply in
accordance with your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for
details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be used to
determine the approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which
are connected to a wireless network transmit location-based information.
Additionally, if you use applications that require location-based information
(e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit location-based information.
Health and Safety
170 Health and Safety
The location-based information may be shared with third-parties, including your
wireless service provider, applications providers, Samsung, and other third-
parties providing services.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate AGPS
technology in your mobile device to tell the emergency responders your
approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
•Alwaystelltheemergencyresponderyourlocationtothebestofyourability,and
•Remainonthemobiledeviceforaslongastheemergencyresponder

instructions are consistent with what you see before following them. All users
should pay attention to road conditions, closures, trafc, and all other factors
that may impact safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs.
Emergency Calls
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline networks, as well as user-programmed functions,
which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions, areas, or circumstances.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless mobile device for
essential communications (medical emergencies, for example). Before traveling
in remote or underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting
emergency services personnel. Remember, to make or receive any calls, the
mobile device must be switched on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength.

Responsible Listening
Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds over time.
The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played louder and for longer
durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most
commoncauseofpreventablehearingloss.Somescienticresearchsuggests
that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cell
Health and Safety
Health and Safety 175
phones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-
induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets,
earbuds, and Bluetooth
®
or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound
has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),
hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to
noise-induced hearing loss and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally,
the amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on
the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the headphones that are used.
As a result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or
for every combination of sound, settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense recommendations when using any
portable audio device:
•Alwaysturnthevolumedownbeforepluggingtheearphonesintoanaudio

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established
requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be compatible with hearing
aids and other assistive hearing devices.
When individuals employing some assistive hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants) use wireless mobile devices, they may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the amount of
interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless
mobiledevicestoassisthearingdeviceusersndmobiledevicesthatmaybe
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated.
Mobile devices that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on
the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing
Health and Safety
184 Health and Safety
device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated mobile device successfully.
Trying out the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate
it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices
that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. M-ratings refer
to enabling acoustic coupling with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil
mode.
T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not
labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to enabling
inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid manufacturer or hearing
healthprofessionalmayhelpyoundthisrating.Higherratingsmeanthatthe
hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise.
Health and Safety
Health and Safety 185
Under the current industry standard, American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and wireless mobile device rating values are
added together to indicate how usable they are together. For example, if a
hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless mobile device meets the
M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equals M5. Under the standard, this
should provide the hearing aid user with normal use while using the hearing
aid with the particular wireless mobile device. A sum of 6 or more would
indicate excellent performance. However, these are not guarantees that all
userswillbesatised.Tratingsworksimilarly.
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

4.4 How We Calculate Your Bill
Yourbillisournoticetoyouofyourfees,chargesandotherimportantinformation.Itreectsthefees
and charges in effect for your service plan at the time they are incurred. We charge for usage after calls
are made or received and charge access and other fees in advance. The length of a call will be rounded
up to the next full minute. Charges start when you’re connected to an outgoing or incoming call and
end after you hang up your phone, the other party on your call hangs up, or the call ends through
disconnection. We only bill for calls that connect, including calls answered by machines. Standard
usage charges apply to toll-free calls. There may be additional usage charges for credit card or third
party Operator-assisted calls, which may be required in certain areas. You will incur usage charges
at a minimum rate of $0.35 per minute if you exceed your service plan minutes. Billing for usage and

related charges may sometimes be delayed. Delayed usage charges may be applied in the month
they appear on your bill against minutes included in your service plan for that month, rather than
against the included minutes for the month when you actually made or received the call. This may
result in charges higher than you’d expect in the later month.
4.5 Payments, Deposits, Credit Cards, And Checks
Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. IF WE DON’T RECEIVE PAYMENT IN FULL WHEN DUE, WE
