•
Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of
small children.

Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
•
Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric
shock to you or damage to the phone.
•
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts
may be damaged.

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

Do not store the phone in cold areas (below 0 °C (32 °F)). When the
phone warms up to its normal operating temperature, moisture can
form inside the phone, which may damage the phone's electronic
circuit boards.

internal circuit boards.

clean the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild
soap-and-water solution.

prevent proper operation.

Do not put the phone in or near areas that may get very hot devices,
such as a microwave oven, cooking surface, iron or a radiator. Do not
dispose of the phone in a fire. The phone may explode when

oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone may explode when overheated.

If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, use only the
supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas
or modified accessories may damage the phone and violate
regulations governing radio devices.
•
If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not working properly,
take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there
will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.
•
Dispose of phones in accordance with local regulations. In some areas,
the disposal of phones in household or business trash may be
prohibited. For safe disposal options for phones, contact your nearest
Samsung authorized service center.
