134Health and SafetyInformationExposure to Radio-Frequency Energy(SAR Information)This phone meets Australian CommunicationsAuthority (ACA) requirements (AS/NZS 2772)concerning exposure to radio waves.Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured, so as notto exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency(RF) energy, as recommended by ACA. These limitsare part of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines were developed byindependent scientific organisations throughperiodic and thorough evaluation of scientificstudies. The limits include a substantial safetymargin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for mobile phones employsa unit of measurement known as SAR (SpecificAbsorption Rate). The SAR limit recommended byACA is 1.6W/kg.** The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of bodytissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safetyto give additional protection for the public and to accountfor any variations in measurements. The SAR values mayvary depending on the national reporting requirements andthe network band.Health and Safety Information135Precautions When Using Batteries• Never use any charger or battery that is damagedin any way.• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.• If you use the phone near the network’s basestation, it uses less power; talk and standby timeare greatly affected by the signal strength on thecellular network and the parameters set by thenetwork operator.• Battery charging time depends on the remainingbattery charge and the type of battery andcharger used. The battery can be charged anddischarged hundreds of times, but it willgradually wear out. When the operation time(talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorterthan normal, it is time to buy a new battery.• If left unused, a fully charged battery willdischarge itself over time.• Use only Samsung-approved batteries andrecharge your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers. When a charger is not in use,disconnect it from the power source. Do not leavethe battery connected to a charger for more thana week, since overcharging may shorten its life.• Extreme temperatures will affect the chargingcapacity of your battery: it may require cooling orwarming first.
