safety and usage
information

Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or illegal situations and
ensure peak performance of your mobile phone.

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

Excessive exposure to sound at high vo lumes can cause hearing damage.

Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio source and
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 inflate rapidly.

The charger should remain close to the electric socket and easily accessible while
charging.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care

 Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers specifically 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 fire. Follow all local regulations

when disposing 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 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.

 Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or

animals.

 Your phone 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 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.

Important usage information

Use your phone in the normal position

Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna.

Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone

Allowing unqualified 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.

 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 fingers 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.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification 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 Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 watts per
kilogram of body tissue.
