Section 11: Health and Safety Information

Safety Warnings

Keep phone from 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. Children could also damage the phone, dial
911 by mistake or make calls that increase your phone bill.

Protect your hearing

Excessive exposure to sound at high volume can cause hearing
damage. Always turn the volume down before plugging in the
earphones and 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 phone 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 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.
