Safety

For a variety of safety reasons, it is important to consider where
you will be using your phone. When using your phone and its
accessories, please follow these guidelines:

Compliance with Safety Standards

The SAMSUNG phone meets all standards and recommenda-
tions for the protection of the public from exposure to radio fre-
quency (RF) electromagnetic energy established by governmental
bodies and other qualified organizations. To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, serious personal injury, or property damage,
please follow these guidelines:

Driving

Using a wireless phone while driving is illegal in some states
and countries. Observe the laws and regulations for your area,
and pull over the car and park if you need to make a call.
If you must use the phone while driving, purchase and install
the optional Hands-Free Car Kit.

Electronic Devices

Your wireless telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When the power is on, the phone receives and talks out RF
energy. Most modern electronic equipment, such as equipment
in hospitals and cars, contains an RF signal shield. RF energy
may affect some inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, and always request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such
as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are
shielded adequately from external RF signals.

Note if there are any regulations posted in the area regarding
the operation of wireless phones, and learn where you can use
them safely within the facility.

Aircraft

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that you have prior per-
mission from the crew to use your phone while the plane is on
the ground. FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the
plane is in the air. Do not use your phone at any time while
traveling on board .

Blasting Areas

Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set
off explosives. To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn off your phone when you are in a blasting area or in any
area with signs posted that read "Turn off two-way radio."
