76Health and safety informationThe highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.920W/kg.SAR tests are conducted using standard operatingpositions with the phone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highestcertified power level, the actual SAR level of the phonewhile operating can be well below the maximum value.This is because the phone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closeryou are to a base station, the lower the power outputof the phone.Precautions when using batteries• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged inany 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, the type of battery, and thecharger used. The battery can be charged anddischarged hundreds of times, but it will graduallywear out. When the operation time is noticeablyshorter than normal, it is time to buy a newbattery.• If left unused, a fully charged battery willdischarge itself over time.• Use only Samsung-approved batteries, andrecharge your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers. Disconnect the charger from* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tis-sue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety togive additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements. The SAR values may vary,depending on national reporting requirements and the networkband.A900.book Page 76 Thursday, May 18, 2006 5:44 PM
