Health and Safety Information 137 For body worn operation, this phone has been te sted and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no meta l and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body . Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
138 Go to: http://mobile.samsungusa.com/rec ycling/index.jsp or 1-800-822-8837 for more information. UL Cer tified T r av el Adapter The T ravel Adapter for this phone has met applicable UL safety requirements. Please ad here to the followi ng safety instructions per UL guidelines.
Health and Safety Information 139 low level RF that does not prod uce heating effects causes no known adverse healt h effects. Many studies of low le vel RF exposures have not found any bi ological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biologic al effects may occur , but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
140 FCC also regulates the base st ations that the wireless phone networks rely u pon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get f rom these base stat ions are typically thousands of t imes lower than th ose they can get from wireless phones.
Health and Safety Information 141 This is because t he interval between th e time of exposure to a cancer -causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many , many years. The in terpretation of ep idemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day- to-day use of wireless phones.
142 Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
Health and Safety Information 143 Studies have shown that these pro ducts generally do not work as advertised. Unli ke "hand-free" ki ts, these so-called "shields" may interfere with proper opera tion of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensa te, leading to an increase in RF absorption.
