If your phone gets wet,turn the power offimmediately, remove the battery and allow the phoneand battery to air dry for 10 hours (in normal roomtemperature and humidity).If after the 10 hour dryingtime, the phone is inoperable, you should return it tothe store where you purchased it or a Samsung PCSauthorized service center.Only Samsung PCS authorized personnel should serviceyour phone and its accessories. Faulty service may invali-date the warranty.Understanding how your phone operatesYour phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio fre-quency (RF) signals.When your phone is in use, the systemhandling your call controls the power level.This powerlevel can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts.Radio frequency safetyIn 1991—1992, the Institute of Electrical and ElectronicsEngineers (IEEE) and the American National StandardsInstitute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard forsafety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians fromuniversities, government health agencies and industrydeveloped this updated standard after reviewing the avail-able body of research. In 1993, the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) adopted this updatedstandard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted ahybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE stan-dard and the guidelines published by the National Councilof Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).The design of the phone complies with these updated stan-dards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even fur-ther than the updated standard, you can choose to controlthe duration of your calls and operate your phone in themost power-efficient manner.
