Cautions

Changes or modifications made in the radio 

GALAXY

, not 

expressly  approved  by  Samsung,  will  void  the  user’s 

authority to operate the equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The 

use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous 

and void the 

GALAXY

 warranty if said accessories cause 

damage or a defect to the 

GALAXY

.

Although  your 

GALAXY

  is  quite  sturdy,  it  is  a  complex 

piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, 

hitting, bending or sitting on it.

Other Important Safety Information

•  Only  qualified  personnel  should  service  the 

GALAXY

 

or  install  the 

GALAXY

  in  a  vehicle.  Faulty  installation 

or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any 

warranty applicable to the device.

•  Check regularly that all wireless 

GALAXY

 equipment in 

your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

•  Do  not  store  or  carry  flammable  liquids,  gases  or 

explosive materials in the same compartment as the 

GALAXY

, its parts or accessories.

•  For  vehicles  equipped  with  an  air  bag,  remember 

that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place 

objects, including both installed or portable wireless 

equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag 

deployment area. If wireless equipment is improperly 

installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could 

result.

•  Switch your 

GALAXY

 off before boarding an aircraft. The 

use of wireless 

GALAXY

 in aircraft is illegal and may be 

dangerous to the aircraft’s operation.

•  Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the 

suspension  or  denial  of  telephone  services  to  the 

offender, or legal action, or both.

Health and safety information

Product Performance

Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on 

the signal strength in your area. Your 

GALAXY

 informs you 

of the current signal strength by displaying a number 

of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars 

displayed, the stronger the signal.
If  you’re  inside  a  building,  being  near  a  window  may 

give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your 

GALAXY

 is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes 

of  searching,  a  Power  Save  feature  is  automatically 

activated.  If  your 

GALAXY

  is  active,  it  periodically 

rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself 

by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message 

displays  on  the  screen.  When  a  signal  is  found,  your 

GALAXY

 returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your 

GALAXY

 Operates

Your 

GALAXY

 is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. 

When  it’s  turned  on,  it  receives  and  transmits  radio 

frequency (RF) signals. When you use your 

GALAXY

, the 

system handling your call controls the power level. This 

power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital 

mode.

Maintaining Your 

GALAXY

’s Peak Performance

For  the  best  care  of  your 

GALAXY

, only  authorized 

personnel should service your 

GALAXY

 and accessories. 

Faulty service may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your 

GALAXY

properly  and  maintaining  safe,  satisfactory 

service.
•  Place the mobile 

GALAXY

’s acoustic output next to your 

ear for proper orientation.

•  Do not tamper or alter the 

GALAXY

’s antenna.

•  Don’t use the 

GALAXY

 if the antenna is damaged.

•  Speak directly into the 

GALAXY

’s receiver.
