Acknowledging Special Precautions
and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
Note : This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used
in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC
can require you to stop using the phone if such
interference cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protections Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.:
Publication Sales Division.
Cautions
Changes or modifications made in the radio phone, not
expressly approved by Samsung, will void the user’s
authority to operate the 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 Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster
or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Sprint
approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

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 than 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
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit estabilished by the FCC.
Tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g. at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC. The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are Head: 1.39W/Kg, Body-worn:
0.862 W/Kg.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
when used with a Samsung accessory designated for
this product or when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a
minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
None-compliance with the above restrictions may
result in violation of FCC RF esposure guidelines.
