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

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 inflate

rapidly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this

model was 0.865 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 at the back 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.
