safety and usage information

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 fire in and around

fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting

areas. Do not store or carry flammable 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 accessories 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.
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.

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.
Your phone and memory cards may be damaged

by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use carrying

cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow

your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for

extended periods of time.

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.

•

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 pacemaker or medical device for

guidance.

Important usage information

Use your phone in the normal position

Avoid contact with your phone's internal antenna.

Allow only qualified personnel to service your

phone

Allowing unqualified 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 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.
Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with

your fingers 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 scientific organisations

through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific

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 measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate

(SAR). The SAR limit set by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg.

The highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.843

W/kg.

Safety warnings

Keep your phone away from small children and

pets

Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach of

small children or animals. Small parts may cause choking

or serious injury if swallowed.

Protect your hearing

Listening to a headset at high volumes can

damage your hearing. Use only the minimum

volume setting necessary to hear your

conversation or music.

Install mobile phones and equipment with caution

Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment

installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid

placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag

deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment

can cause serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with

care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers

specifically designed for your phone.

Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious

injuries or damage to your phone.

Never dispose of batteries or phone in a fire. Follow

all local regulations when disposing used batteries or

phone.
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.
