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.
Health and Safety
Information
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.
