Charging the Battery  
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If  
your battery level becomes too low, your phone  
automatically turns off, and you will lose any  
information you were just working on.  
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion  
battery as you can be burned.  
Battery Capacity  
Always use a Boost-approved or Samsung-approved  
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power  
adapter to charge your battery.  
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)  
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is  
fully drained. The battery provides up to 4.45 hours of  
continuous digital talk time and 300 hours of standby  
time.  
Plug the flat end of the charger into the phone’s  
charger jack and the other end into an electrical  
outlet.  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery  
icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes  
of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and  
then turns off.  
With the Boost-approved Li-Ion battery, you can  
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run  
down.  
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate  
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce  
the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Navigating Through the Menus  
The navigation key on your phone lets you scroll  
through onscreen items. Many menus feature a scroll  
bar on the right to help you keep track of your position  
in the menu.  
Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the  
battery before it runs out of power.

(page 91)  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid  
spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the  
power off and remove the battery.  
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended  
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,  
bending, or sitting on it.  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this  
equipment and void your authority to operate this  
equipment.

4A. Important Safety Information  
 
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their  
representative to determine if these systems are adequately  
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the  
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to  
your vehicle.  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot  
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should  
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls  
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain  
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider for details.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,  
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone  
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.  
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety  
always comes first.  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent  
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal  
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have  
permission from a crew member to use your phone while  
the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in  
the air.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any  
special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas  
where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or  
danger.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone  
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction  
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.

potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone  
and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an  
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These  
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:  
1. WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY  
The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic  
and could break if your handset is dropped or if it  
receives significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken  
or cracked as this could cause injury to you.  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such  
as grain, dust, or metal powders.  
2. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A  
TOUCHSCREEN HANDSET  
If your handset has a touchscreen display, please note  
that a touchscreen responds best to a light touch from  
the pad of your finger. Using excessive force when  
pressing on the touchscreen may damage the tempered  
glass surface and void the warranty. For more  
information, see “4B. Manufacturer’s Warranty” on page  
98.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or  
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains  
your phone or accessories.  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as  
they could hurt themselves and others, or damage the phone.

4A. Important Safety Information  
 
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
A number of our phones have been tested for hearing aid  
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used  
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can  
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for  
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19  
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring  
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T  
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label located on the box. Your SPH-M390 has an  
M3 and T4 rating.  
Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi  
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing  
aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However,  
there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this  
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It  
is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly  
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear  
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult  
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for  
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions  
about return or exchange policies, consult your service pro-  
vider or phone retailer.  
4A. Important Safety Information  
 
93  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)  
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with  
respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120  
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,  
government health agencies and industries developed this  
updated standard after reviewing the available body of  
research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August  
1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the  
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by  
the National Council of Radiation Protection and

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can  
be burned.  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your  
nearest Boost authorized service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In  
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business  
trash may be prohibited.  
Measurements (NCRP).  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if  
you wear a handset on your body, use a manufacturer  
approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory.  
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is  
at least 7/16 inch (1.0 centimeters) from your body when  
transmitting. Use of non-manufacturer-approved accessories  
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When  
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)  
signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your  
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006  
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website  
at www.fcc.gov.

FCC ID number: A3LSPHM390.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Phones  
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the  
following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
FCC Notice  
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,  
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how  
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their  
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in  
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than  
the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of  
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone  
design and other factors. What is important to remember is that  
each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs  
do not represent a variation in safety.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation  
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may  
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept  
any interference received, including interference that may  
cause undesired operation.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment.  
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the  
FCC Rules.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates  
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in  
SAR values between different model phones do not mean  
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard  
of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection  
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This  
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency  
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications.  
The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-M390 are:  
Head: 1.09 W/Kg  
Body-worn: 1.09 W/Kg  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur  
in a particular installation.  
FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
Guidelines.

4A. Important Safety Information  
 
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct  
the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Owner’s Record  
The model, regulatory, and serial number are located on a  
nameplate inside the battery compartment. Record the serial  
number in the space provided below. This is helpful if you need  
to contact us about your phone in the future.  
Reorient the direction of the internal antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different  
from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.
