Safety and usage information

Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak performance of 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.
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.
4
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 your device.
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing used batteries.
Safety and usage information
• Never place batteries or phones 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.
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
When sending text messages or playing games on your device, hold the device 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.
5
Safety and usage information
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 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.
6
Turn off 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 off 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 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 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.
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.
7
Safety and usage information
• Avoid using the device’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or animals.
• Your device and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your phone 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.
8
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 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 of body tissue.
9
Safety and usage information
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.679 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 user’s guide 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.
