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.
•
Store the battery pack in a dry place.
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 and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
•
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers
speci cally designed for your phone.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious
injuries or damage to your phone.
•
Never dispose of batteries or phone in a re. Follow all local
regulations when disposing used batteries or phone.
•
Never place batteries or phones 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
phones 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 phone is
interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off
the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the
pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
Handle your phone carefully and sensibly
Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause
•
serious damage. Do not handle your phone with wet
hands. Water damage to your phone can void your
manufacturer's warranty.
•
Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to
prevent damage to moving parts.
•
Your phone is a complex electronic device—protect it from
impacts and rough handling to avoid serious damage.
•
Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts
and prevent proper operation.
•
Your phone may be damaged by exposure to magnetic
elds. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with
magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in contact
with magnetic elds for extended periods of time.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your phone 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.
Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations)
or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever
directed by warning signs or instructions. Your phone could
cause explosions or re in and around fuel or chemical
storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or
carry fl ammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on your
phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip, press the buttons
lightly, use special features that reduce the number of buttons
you have to press (such as templates and predictive text),
and take frequent breaks.
Important usage information
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone's internal antenna.
Internal antena
Allow only quali ed personnel to service your phone
Allowing unquali ed personnel to service your phone may
result in damage to your phone 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 with care
•
Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or
accessing information, as this could result in loss of data
and/or damage to the card or phone.
•
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 phone 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.
SAR information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the European Union (EU) Council. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on the safety standards that were developed by
independent scienti c organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scienti c studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit
of measurement known as Speci c Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR limit set by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg. The highest
SAR value for this model phone was 0.520 W/kg.
