    SAR tests are conducted using standard operatingpositions specified by the FCC with the phone

    transmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levels soas to use only the power required to reach the network.In general, the closer you are to a wireless base stationantenna, the lower the power output of the phone.

    Before a new model phone is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it

    does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safe exposure.

    Precautions when using batteries

    Never use any charger or battery that is damaged inany way.

    Use the battery only for its intended purpose. If you use the phone near the networks base

    station, it uses less power; talk and standby timeare greatly affected by the signal strength on thecellular network and the parameters set by thenetwork operator.

    Battery charging time depends on thebattery charge, the type of battery, an

    used. The battery can be charged andhundreds of times, but it will graduallWhen the operation time (talk time antime) is noticeably shorter than normabuy a new battery.

    If left unused, a fully charged batteryitself over time.

    Use only Samsung-approved batteriesyour battery only with Samsung-approWhen a charger is not in use, disconnpower source. Do not leave the battery

    a charger for more than a week, sincemay shorten its life.

    Extreme temperature will affect the ccapacity of your battery: it may requiwarming first.

    A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarilynot work, even when the battery is fully charged.

    Li-ion batteries are particularly affected bytemperatures below 0 C (32 F).

    Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clipor pen) causes a direct connection between the +

    and terminals of the battery (metal strips on thebattery), for example when you carry a sparebattery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting theterminals may damage the battery or the objectcausing the short-circuiting.

    Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

    regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose ofbatteries in a fire.
