Comply with all safety warnings and regulations regarding mobile device usage while operating a vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your rst responsibility.
Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and the safety of others, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
Use a hands-free device. Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device. Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend
calls in heavy trafc or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy trafc can be hazardous. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” • list or ipping through your address book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the trafc. Place calls when you are not • moving or before pulling into trafc. Try to plan calls when your
car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
Do not paint or put stickers on your device
Paint and stickers can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation. If you are allergic to paint or metal parts of the product, you may
experience itching, eczema, or swelling of the skin. When this happens,
stop using the product and consult your physician.
When cleaning your device:
Wipe your device or charger with a towel or a rubber. Clean the terminals of the battery with a cotton ball or a towel. Do not use chemicals or detergents.
Do not use the device if the screen is cracked or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands and face. Take the device to a Samsung Service Centre to have it repaired.
Do not use the device for anything other than its intended use
Avoid disturbing others when using the device in public
Do not allow children to use your device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device, or make calls that increase your charges.
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 inate rapidly.
Allow only qualied personnel to service your device
Allowing unqualied personnel to service your device may result in
damage to your device and will void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Handle SIM cards or 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 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 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.
Keep your personal and important data safe
While using your device, be sure to back up important data. Samsung is not responsible for data loss. When disposing of your device, back up all data and then reset your device to prevent misuse of your personal information.
Do not distribute copyright-protected material
Do not distribute copyright-protected material that you have recorded to others without the permission of the content owners. Doing this may violate copyright laws. The manufacturer is not liable for any legal issues caused by the user’s illegal use of copyrighted material.
