Safety precautions
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all regulations that restrict the use of
mobile phones 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 phone in a certain area.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your phone or cause injury.
Turn off the phone near medical equipment
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities.
Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel.
Turn off the phone or disable the wireless functions when in an aircraft
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline regulations
and turn off your phone or switch to a mode that disables the wireless functions when
directed by airline personnel.
Protect the phone and batteries from damage
Avoid exposing your phone and batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below
•
0° C/32° F or above 45° C/113° F). Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation
of the phone and reduce the charging capacity and life of your phone and batteries.
Safety warnings
Keep your phone away from small children and pets
Keep your phone 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.
Install mobile phones and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment installed in your vehicle are
securely mounted. Avoid placing your phone and accessories near or in an air bag
deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury when
air bags inate rapidly.
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 phone carefully and sensibly
Do not disassemble your phone due to a risk of electric shock.
•
Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage and will
•
change the colour of the label that indicates water damage inside the phone. 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.
•
If your phone has a camera ash or light, avoid using it close to the eyes of children or
•
animals.
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.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specically designed for your
•
phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to
your phone.
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a re. Follow all local regulations when
•
disposing of used batteries or phones.
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.
Important usage information
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone's internal antenna.
Internal antenna
Allow only qualied personnel to service your phone
Allowing unqualied 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 and memory 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.
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 ammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials
in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
While using your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use
special features that reduce the number of keys you have to press (such as templates
and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.
Do not use the phone if the screen is cracked or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hand and face. Bring the phone to a
Samsung service centre to replace the screen. Damage caused by careless handling
will void your manufacturer's warranty.
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from other
•
devices.
Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards.
•
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.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) certication information
Your phone 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 phones that exceed a maximum exposure
level (known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 watts per kilogram.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.684 watts per
kilogram. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the phone 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 phone reduces
your overall exposure to RF energy.
The Declaration of Conformity of this manual demonstrates your phones 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 phone website.
