Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers •
specically 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 re. Follow all local •
regulations when disposing of 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.
Safety and usage information
50
If you have any reason to suspect that your device is interfering
with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn o the device
immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker
or medical device for guidance.
Turn o the device in potentially explosive
environments
Do not use your device at refuelling points (service stations) or
near fuels or chemicals. Turn o your device whenever directed
by warning signs or instructions. Your device could cause
explosions or re in and around fuel or chemical storage and
transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry ammable
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.
Page 51
Do not use the device if the screen is cracked
or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hand and
face. Bring the device to a Samsung Service Centre to replace
the screen. Damage caused by careless handling will void your

Page 52
Protect the device, batteries and chargers from
damage
Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very •
hot temperatures (below 0° C or above 45° C).
Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the •
device and reduce the charging capacity and life of your
device and 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.•
Handle your device carefully and sensibly
Do not disassemble your device due to a risk of electric •
shock.
Do not allow your device to get wet—liquids can cause •
serious damage and will change the colour of the label that
indicates water damage inside the device. Do not handle
your device with wet hands. Water damage to your device
can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Safety and usage information
52
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 ash or light, avoid using it close •
to the eyes of children or animals.
Your device may be damaged by exposure to magnetic •
elds. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic
closures or allow your device to come in contact with
magnetic elds 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.
Page 53
Important usage information
Use your device in the normal position
Avoid contact with your device’s internal antenna.
Allow only qualied personnel to service your
device
Allowing unqualied personnel to service your device
may result in damage to your device and will void your
manufacturer’s 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 or 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.
Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your •
ngers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft
cloth.
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.

Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) certication
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 Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR)
of 2.0 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model
was 0.575 W/kg. 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 phone website.
