Safety and usage

information

Comply with the following precautions to

avoid dangerous or illegal situations and

ensure peak performance of your device.

Safety warnings

Keep your device away from small

children and pets

Keep your device 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

Install mobile devices and

equipment with caution

Ensure that any mobile devices or related

equipment installed in your vehicle are

securely mounted. Avoid placing your

device 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 device. Incompatible batteries

and chargers can cause serious injuries

or damage to your device.

• Never dispose of batteries in a fire.

Follow all local regulations when

disposing of used batteries.

Listening to a headset at high

volumes can damage your

hearing. Use only the minimum

volume setting necessary to hear

your conversation or music.

SGH-i688 ENG.book Page 4 Friday, July 24, 2009 7:12 PM

5

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.

Avoid interference with pacemakers

Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches)

between mobile devices 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 device is

interfering with a pacemaker or other

medical equipment, turn off the device

immediately and contact the

manufacturer of the pacemaker or

medical equipment for guidance.

Turn off the device in potentially

explosive environments

Do not use your device at refuelling

points (service stations) or near fuels or

chemicals. Turn off your device whenever

directed by warning signs or instructions.

Your device 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 device, its parts, or

accessories.

Reduce the risk of repetitive motion

injuries

When sending text messages or playing

games on your device, 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.

Safety and usage information

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.

• 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.

• Risk of explosion if a battery is

replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose

of used batteries according to the

instructions.

Handle your device carefully and

sensibly

• Do not allow your device to get wet—

liquids can cause serious damage. Do

not handle your device with wet hands.

Water damage to your device can void

your manufacturer’s warranty.

• Avoid using or storing your device in

dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage

to moving parts.

• Your device is made of complex

electronics—protect it from impacts

and rough handling to avoid serious

damage.

• Do not paint your device, as paint can

clog moving parts and prevent proper

operation.

• Avoid using the device’s camera flash

or light close to the eyes of children or

animals.

SGH-i688 ENG.book Page 7 Friday, July 24, 2009 7:12 PM

Safety and usage information

8

• Your device and memory cards may be

damaged by exposure to magnetic

fields. Do not use carrying cases or

accessories with magnetic closures or

allow your device to come in contact

with magnetic fields for extended

periods of time.

Avoid interference with other

electronic equipment

Your device emits radio frequency (RF)

signals that may interfere with

unshielded or improperly shielded

electronic equipment, such as

pacemakers, hearing aids, and medical

equipment in homes or vehicles. Consult

the manufacturers of your electronic

equipment to solve any interference

problems you experience.

Important usage

information

Use your device in the normal

position

Avoid contact with your device’s internal

antenna.

Allow only qualified personnel to

service your device

Allowing unqualified personnel to service

your device may result in damage to your

device 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.

SGH-i688 ENG.book Page 8 Friday, July 24, 2009 7:12 PM

Safety and usage information

• Disconnect chargers from power

sources when not in use.

• Use batteries only for their intended

purpose.

Maximum battery life

This information is based on fully charged

batteries.

Depending on how you use your phone,

actual operation time may vary and may

be shorter than declared. Standby time

will be reduced in the following

conditions:

• When you use the additional features

on your phone such as writing and

storing messages, playing games, and

connecting to the internet

• If you are frequently out of the service

area

• If you are out of the service area for a

long period of time

• If you use Talk mode repeatedly

Handle SIM cards and memory cards

with care

• Do not remove a card while the device

is transferring or accessing

information, as this could result in loss

of data and/or damage to the card or

device.
