to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas and
chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void
the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and
can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the Samsung supplied or approved carrying case,
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory, ensure that the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from
your body when transmitting. Use of non- Samsung approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All
phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But
when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less that the level
reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its
proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines.
Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial
margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different
