Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications
technology capable of exchanging information over a
distance of about 10 metres (33 feet) without requiring a
physical connection.

You do not need to line up the devices to beam
information with Bluetooth. If the devices are within range
of one another, you can exchange information between
them even if they are located in dierent rooms.

interception, or misuse of data sent or received via

the Bluetooth wireless feature.

Safety and usage information

This safety and usage information should be followed to
safely use 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.

Safety and usage information

94

Protect your hearing

Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can
cause hearing damage. Always turn the volume
down before plugging the earphones into an audio
source and 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 inate rapidly.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers

specically 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.

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.

Safety and usage information

95

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
manufacturer’s warranty.

Do not use the device during a thunderstorm

Your device may malfunction and your risk of electric shock is
increased.

Safety precautions

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 hands­free accessories to increase your safety when possible.

Safety and usage information

96

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 o 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 o 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 o your device or switch
to a mode that disables the wireless functions when directed
by airline personnel.

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.

• 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.

Safety and usage information

97

Important usage
information

Signal strength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to
the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger
the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a window may
give you better reception.

Understand how your phone operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006
watts to 0.2 watts.

Safety and usage information

98

Allow only qualied personnel to service your
device

Allowing unqualied 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.
