safety and usage information

• Never place batteries or phones 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.

Avoid interference with pacemakers

Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones

and pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by

manufacturers and the independent research group, Wireless

Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that your

phone is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn

off the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pace-

maker or medical device for guidance.

Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments

Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near

fuels or chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning

signs or instructions. Your phone could cause explosions or fi re in and

around fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas.

Do not store or carry fl ammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials

in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.

Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries

When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold

the phone with a relaxed grip, press the buttons lightly, use special

features that reduce the number of buttons you have to press

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

Safety precautions

Drive safely at all times

Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all regulations that

restrict the use of mobile phones while driving. Use hands-free acces-

sories to increase your safety when possible.

Follow all safety warnings and regulations

Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a mobile phone in

a certain area.

Use only Samsung-approved accessories

Using incompatible accessories may damage your phone or cause

injury.

Turn off the phone near medical equipment

Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or

health care facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and

directions from medical personnel.

Turn off the phone or disable the wireless functions when in an

aircraft

Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all

airline regulations and turn off your phone or switch to a mode that

disables the wireless functions when directed by airline personnel.

Protect batteries and chargers from damage

• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures

(below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/113° F). Extreme temperatures

can reduce the charging capacity and life of your batteries.

• Store the battery pack in a dry place. (0° C/32° F ~ 45° C/104° F)

• 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 if handled as shown in

the following:

- Batteries come into contact with water, or if the battery terminals

are connected to a necklace or any other metals.

• Never use a damaged charger or battery.

Handle your phone carefully and sensibly

• Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause serious

damage. Do not handle your phone with wet hands. Water damage

to your phone can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

• Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent

damage to moving parts.

• Your phone is a complex electronic device—protect it from impacts

and rough handling to avoid serious damage.

• Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent

proper operation.

• Avoid using the phone’s camera fl ash or light close to the eyes of

children or animals.

• Your phone and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to

magnetic fi elds. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with

magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in contact with

magnetic fi elds for extended periods of time.

Important usage information

Use your phone in the normal position

Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna.

Allow only qualifi ed personnel to service your phone

Allowing unqualifi ed personnel to service your phone may result in

damage to your phone and will void your warranty.

Ensure maximum battery and charger life

• Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging 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 purpose.

Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care

• Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing

information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the

card or phone.

• Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise

from other devices.

• Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory

cards.

• Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fi ngers or

metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.

Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas

or circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas,

plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.

SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed

and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to

radio frequency (RF) energy set by the European Union (EU) Council.

These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish

permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The

guidelines are based on the safety standards that were developed by

independent scientifi c organisations through periodic and thorough

evaluation of scientifi c studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure

the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of mea-

surement known as Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set

by the EU Council is 2.0W/kg. The highest SAR value for this model

phone was 0.647 W/kg.

Avoid interference with other electronic devices

Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere

with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such

as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic

devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your

electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience.
