safety and

usage

information

Comply with the following precautions to avoid

dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak

performance of your 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.

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.

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.

Do not use the phone if the screen

is cracked or broken

Broken glass could cause injury to your hand

and face. Bring the phone 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.

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.

Safety precautions

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 the 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.

• Risk of explosion if a battery or device is

replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of

used batteries or

devices 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.

• 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 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.

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

equipment.

• 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.

Important usage information

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 0.426 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 website.
