Comply with all safety warnings and regulations regarding mobile device usage while operating a vehicle While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and the safety of others, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
Use a hands-free device. Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device. Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a to do list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road. Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.
42 Safety precautions
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, a crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives are in danger, call a local emergency number. Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or another special, non-emergency number.

Safety precautions 47 Health and safety information Exposureto Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the engineering experts drawn from industry, government, The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR tests are conducted using recommended operating positions accepted by the FCC with the GALAXY tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined of the GALAXY while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the GALAXY is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a new model device is available for sale to the it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model GALAXY are performed in positions and locations (e.g. near the body) as required by the FCC. Operating Environment Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your GALAXY forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger. When connecting the GALAXY or any accessory to another device, read its users guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products. For typical operations, this model GALAXY has been tested and meets the FCC exposure guidelines. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this and other model GALAXYs can be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses the FCC ID number A3L7100. You can check the FCC ID on the rear case. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular GALAXY, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular GALAXY SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/
cgb/sar. 48 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information Your device conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg. During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 1.07 W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy. The Declaration of Conformity statement at the back of this manual demonstrates your devices compliance with the European Radio & Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive.
