SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg*. The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are GSM 850 Head: 0.91 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.65 W/kg, GSM 1900 Head: 1.04 W/ kg, Body-worn: 0.343 W/kg.

When someone tries to use your phone with other SIM card, the phone will automatically send the preset tracking message to your family or friends. This feature may be unavailable due to certain features supported by your service provider.
Important safety precautions
Read these guidelines before using your wireless phone. Failure to comply with them may be dangerous or illegal. Drive safely at all times Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; park your vehicle first. Switching off when refueling Do not use the phone at a refueling point (service station) or near fuels or chemicals. Switching off in an aircraft Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them in an aircraft is both illegal and dangerous. Switching off near all medical equipment Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. Follow any regulations or rules in force. Interference
Small children and your phone Keep the phone and all its parts including accessories out of reach of small children. Accessories and batteries Use only Samsung-approved batteries and accessories, such as headsets and PC data cables. Use of any unauthorized accessories could damage your phone and may be dangerous. CAUTION
Risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. At very high volume, prolonged listening to a headset can damage your hearing.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
