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 cho king or serious injury if swallowed.

Protect your hearing

Listening to a headset at high volumes can damage your hearing. 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 inflate rapidly.

Handle and dispose of batteries and 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 y o u r de vic e.

• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing used batteries.

Avoid interference with pacemakers

Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile devices and pacemak e rs to avoid potential interference, a s 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 equipme n t for gu id an ce.

Turn off the device in potentiall y explosive environments

Do not use your device at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or chemicals. T urn off your device whene ver directed by warning signs or instruct ions. 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

When sending text messages or playing games on your device, hold the device with a relaxed grip , pres s the butto n s lightly, use special features that red uce the number of buttons you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.

Safety and usage information

Safety precautions

Drive safely at al l tim es

Avoid using your device while driving and obey all regulations that restrict the use of mobile devices while driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase your safety when possible.

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 off the device near medical equipment

Your device can interfere w ith m edical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel.

Turn off the device or disable the wireless functions when in an aircraft

Your device can cause interfere nce with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off your device or switch to a mode that disables the wireless functions when directed by the airline personnel.

Safety and usage information

Protect batteries and chargers from damage

• Avoid expos ing batteries to very cold or very hot temper atu res (b elow 0° C/ 32° F or above 45° C/115° 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 o r permanent battery damage.

• Never use a damage d ch arg er or battery.

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 preven t dam a ge 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.

• Avoid using the device’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or animals.

Safety and usage information

• Your d evice and m emo ry cards ma y b e 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 em its r adio frequency (RF ) signals that may interfere with unshielded or impro p erl y shi elde d electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, and medical equipment in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electro nic equipment to solve an y in terfere nce problems you experience.

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.

Safety and usage information

• 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 meta l objects. If dirty , wipe the card w ith 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) energ y emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standard s p rev en t 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 of body tissue.

Safety and usage information

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.XXX w atts 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 user’s guide demonstrates your device’s compliance with the European Radio & Terminal Telecomm unications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For mo re information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung mobile web site.
