safety and

usage

information

Comply with the following precautions to avoid

dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak

performance of your mobile device.

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

Safety warnings

Listening to a headset at high volumes can

damage your hearing. Use only the

minimum volume setting necessary to hear

your conversation or music.

safety and usage information

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 or devices in a fire.

Follow all local regulations when disposing 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.

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 device, turn off the

device immediately and contact the manufacturer of

the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

safety and usage information

3

Do not use the device if the screen is

cracked or broken

Broken glass could cause injury to your hand and

face. Bring the device to Samsung service centre to

replace the glass

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

While using 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.

Drive safely at all times

Avoid using your device while driving and obey all

regulations that restrict the use of mobile devices

while driving. Use hands-free accessories to

increase your safety when possible.

Safety precautions

i7500.book Page 3 Wednesday, August 12, 2009 8:20 PM

safety and usage information

Follow all safety warnings and

regulations

Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a

mobile device in a certain area.

Use only Samsung-approved

accessories

Using incompatible accessories may damage your

device or cause injury.

Turn off the device near medical

equipment

Your device can interfere with medical equipment in

hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all

regulations, posted warnings, and directions from

medical personnel.

Turn off the device or disable the

wireless functions when in an aircraft

Your device can cause interference with aircraft

equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off

your device 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.

• 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.

safety and usage information

5

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 a complex electronic device—

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.

• If your device has a camera flash or light, avoid

using it close to the eyes of children or animals.

• Your device 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

devices

Your device 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.

i7500.book Page 5 Wednesday, August 12, 2009 8:20 PM

6

safety and 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.

• 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 device is

transferring or accessing information, as this

could result in loss of data and/or damage to the

card or device.

• 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 fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the

card with a soft cloth.

7

Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your device 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.

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 watts per kilogram.

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this

model was 0.607 watts per kilogram. 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 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 mobile device website.
