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.

6

• 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.

Safety precautions

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
instructions.

devices according to the

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.

9

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.

10

• 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.

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.
