Exposure to Radio-Frequency Energy
(SAR Information)
This phone meets Australian Communications
Authority (ACA) requirements (AS/NZS 2772)
concerning exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured, so as not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency
(RF) energy, as recommended by ACA. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs
a unit of measurement known as SAR (Specific
Absorption Rate). The SAR limit recommended by
ACA is 1.6W/kg.
*
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of body
tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety
to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements. The SAR values may
vary depending on the national reporting requirements and
the network band.

Precautions When Using Batteries
•Never use any charger or battery that is damaged
in any way.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• If you use the phone near the network’s 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.
• 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.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging
capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or
warming first.
