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.

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.

Warning: Prevent electric shock, fire, and

explosion

Do not use damaged power cords or plugs, or loose electrical

sockets

Do not touch the power cord with wet hands, or disconnect the

charger by pulling on the cord

Do not bend or damage the power cord

Do not use your device while charging or touch your device

with wet hands

Do not short-circuit the charger or the battery

Do not drop or cause an impact to the charger or the battery

Do not charge the battery with chargers that are not approved

by the manufacturer

Do not use your device during a thunderstorm

Your device may malfunction and your risk of electric shock is

increased.

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery

For safe disposal of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest

authorised service centre.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically

•

designed for your device. Incompatible batteries and chargers can

cause serious injuries or damage to your device.

Never dispose of batteries or devices in a fire. Follow all local

•

regulations when disposing of used batteries or devices.

Never place batteries or devices on or in heating devices, such as

•

microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when

overheated.

Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to

•

high external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit

and overheating.

Protect the device, batteries, and chargers from damage

Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very hot

•

temperatures.

Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and

•

reduce the charging capacity and life of your device and batteries.

Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create

•

a connection between the + and – terminals of your batteries and

lead to temporary or permanent battery damage.

Never use a damaged charger or battery.

•

Caution: Follow all safety warnings and

regulations when using your device in restricted

areas

Turn off your device where prohibited

Comply with all regulations that restrict the use of a mobile device in

a particular area.

Most electronic devices use radio frequency signals. Your device may

interfere with other electronic devices.

Do not use your device near a pacemaker

Avoid using your device within a 15 cm range of a pacemaker if

•

possible, as your device can interfere with the pacemaker.

If you must use your device, keep at least 15 cm away from the

•

pacemaker.

To minimise the possible interference with a pacemaker, use your

•

device on the opposite side of your body from the pacemaker.

Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical equipment

that can be interfered with by radio frequency

If you personally use any medical equipment, contact the

manufacturer of the equipment to ensure the safety of your equipment

from radio frequency.

If you are using a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for

information about radio interference

Some hearing aids may be interfered with by the radio frequency of

your device. Contact the manufacturer to ensure the safety of your

hearing aid.

Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments

Turn off your device in potentially explosive environments instead of

•

removing the battery.

Always comply with regulations, instructions and signs in potentially

•

explosive environments.

Do not use your device at refuelling points (service stations), near

•

fuels or chemicals, and at blasting areas.

Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive

•

materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or

accessories.

Turn off your device when in an aircraft

Using your device in an aircraft is illegal. Your device may interfere

with the electronic navigation instruments of the aircraft.

Electronic devices in a motor vehicle may malfunction due to

the radio frequency of your device

Electronic devices in your car may malfunction due to radio frequency

of your device. Contact the manufacturer for more information.

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.

Proper care and use of your mobile device

Keep your device dry

Humidity and all types of liquids may damage device parts or

•

electronic circuits.

When wet, remove the battery without turning on your device. Dry

•

may shorten battery life.

Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged

•

before use.

Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.

•

Use batteries only for their intended purposes.

•

Avoid contact with your device’s internal antenna. Touching the

•

antenna may reduce the call quality or cause the device to transmit

more radio frequency than necessary.

Internal antenna

Hold the device with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use

•

special features that reduce the number of keys you have to press

(such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.

Protect your hearing

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

0.881 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 device’s compliance with the European Radio

& Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For

more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the

Samsung website.
