The illustrations below indicate the general safety
precautions to be taken when using your mobile
phone.
General Safety Precautions (cont.)
The use of mobile phones in aircraft:
◆
Is dangerous to aircraft operations
◆
May disrupt the cellular network
◆
Is illegal
Failure to observe in-flight regulations may lead to the suspension of
cellular services and/or legal action.
NEVER use your phone while driving,
even if it allows hands-free operation.
Always park your vehicle first.
In some countries, it is illegal to use
mobile and radio telephones whilst
driving.
You are advised to turn off the
phone when at a refuelling point
(petrol station for example).
NEVER store or carry inflammable
gas, liquids or explosive materials in
the same compartment as your
mobile phone.
DO NOT use the travel adapter if:
◆
The power cord is damaged
◆
It has been dropped or undergone
a shock
Have a qualified after-sales service
repair it. NEVER try to repair it
yourself.
Avoid contact between the antenna
and the face (especially the eyes)
during a conversation.
Take care with the antenna in
crowded places.
Being very concerned about health
precautions, SAMSUNG recommends that you avoid using your
mobile phone close to medical
devices (pacemakers, etc.). If in
doubt, consult the manufacturer of
the medical device.
Avoid operating your mobile phone
close to other electrical equipment
(telephones, televisions, radios,
personal computers, etc.), as it may
cause interference.
DO NOT expose the phone and
accessories to rain or any liquids.
Remove the battery from your phone
and contact your dealer if the phone
and accessories come into contact
with any liquid.
DO NOT leave them in direct
sunlight or in a humid, dusty or hot
environment.

Battery Safety Precautions
The illustrations below indicate the precautions to
be taken with the battery pack.
Battery Safety Precautions (cont.)
To maximise the charging capacity,
avoid repetitive partial discharging
and charging. It is recommended
that you wait until the low battery
warning tone sounds and the
B a t t e r y

L o w
before charging the battery.
DO NOT charge the batteries in
extreme temperature conditions:
◆
Above 45° C
◆
Below 5° C
Attach the battery pack to the phone
before charging with the travel
adapter.
Any replacement battery pack must
be of the same make and type.
DO NOT dispose of used batteries
in a fire or waste bin. Dispose of
them in accordance with local
legislation.
DO NOT disassemble the battery
pack. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside it.
DO NOT drop the batteries or
subject them to physical shocks.
Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
If the battery is not used for a long
period of time (about a half year), its
service life may be reduced. Store it
in a cool, dry place.

Inserting Your Subscription Card (cont.)Inserting Your Subscription Card
Before you can make a call on your mobile phone,
you must insert a subscription card (SIM card).
You are given this card (1/2 in. by 1 in.) when you
take out your subscription with a network
operator. For more details about the SIM card,
refer to the glossary on page 82.
☛ NEVER touch the gold contacts on the chip, as you
may damage the SIM card.
➢ ◆ If you do not insert the SIM card, the
message is displayed when you switch the phone
on.
◆ You can make emergency calls while you have
inserted a SIM card.
(Some networks don’t require a SIM card for
emergency calls. Check with your Air Time
Provider.)
◆ If you wish to block access to the phone registers
stored in the SIM card, see page 49.

Entering Your PIN Code

The SIM card is protected by a PIN (Personal
Identification Number) that you must enter the
first time you use your phone or each time it is
switched on, if this option is set (see page 50).
➢ ◆ For more details about the PIN and PUK codes,
refer to the glossary on page 82.
◆ If you wish to change your PIN, see page 51.
☛ ◆ If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row,

must enter the eight-digit PUK (PIN Unblocking
Key) that comes with your SIM card.
◆ If you enter the wrong PUK ten times in a row,
your SIM card will be permanently blocked. You
must then contact your network operator.
