Safety precautions

Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be 

• 

distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving 
and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your 
attention from the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in 

• 

the case of 

fi

 re, traf

fi

 c accident, or medical emergencies.

Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto 

• 

accident, a crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives 
are in danger, call a local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance 

• 

number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing 
no serious hazard, a broken traf

fi

 c signal, a minor traf

fi

 c accident 

where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, 
call roadside assistance or another special, non-emergency number.

Proper care and use of your mobile device

Keep your device dry

Humidity and all types of liquids may damage device parts or 

• 

electronic circuits.
When wet, remove the battery without turning on your device. Dry 

• 

your device with a towel and take it to a service centre.
Liquids will change the colour of the label that indicates water 

• 

damage inside the device. Water damage to your device can void 
your manufacturer’s warranty.

Do not use or store your device in dusty, dirty areas

Dust can cause your device to malfunction.

Do not store your device on slopes

If your device falls, it can be damaged.

Do not store your device in hot or cold areas. Use your device 
at -20 °C to 50 °C 

Your device can explode if left inside a closed vehicle, as the inside 

• 

temperature can reach up to 80 °C.

Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods of 

• 

time (such as on the dashboard of a car).
Store the battery at 0 °C to 40 °C.

• 

Do not store your device with such metal objects as coins, keys 
and necklaces

Your device may become deformed or malfunction.

• 

If the battery terminals are in contact with metal objects, it may cause 

• 

fi

 re.

Do not store your device near magnetic 

fi

 elds

Your device may malfunction or the battery may discharge from 

• 

exposure to magnetic 

fi

 elds.

Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, 

• 

and boarding passes, may be damaged by magnetic 

fi

 elds.

Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or 

• 

allow your device to come in contact with magnetic 

fi

 elds for extended 

periods of time.

Do not store your device near or in heaters, microwaves, hot 
cooking equipment, or high pressure containers

The battery may leak.

• 

Your device may overheat and cause a 

fi

 re.

• 

Do not drop your device or cause impacts to your device

The screen of your device may be damaged.

• 

If bent or deformed, your device may be damaged or parts may 

• 

malfunction.

Do not use a 

fl

 ash close to the eyes of people or animals

Using a 

fl

 ash close to the eyes may cause temporary loss of vision or 

damage to the eyes.

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 purposes.

• 

Use manufacturer-approved batteries, chargers, accessories 
and supplies

Using generic batteries or chargers may shorten the life of your device 

• 

or cause the device to malfunction.
Samsung cannot be responsible for the user’s safety when using 

• 

accessories or supplies that are not approved by Samsung.

Do not bite or suck on the device or the battery

Doing so may damage the device or cause explosion.

• 

If children use the device, make sure that they use the device 

• 

properly.

When speaking on the device:

Hold the device upright, as you would with a traditional phone.

• 

Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

• 

Avoid contact with your device’s internal antenna. Touching the 

• 

antenna may reduce the call quality or cause the device to transmit 
more radio frequency than necessary.

Internal antenna

Hold the device 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 device if the screen is cracked or broken

Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands and face. Take 
the device to a Samsung Service Centre to have it repaired.

Do not use the device for anything other than its intended use

• 

your vehicle are securely mounted. 
Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an air bag 

• 

deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause 
serious injury when air bags in

fl

 ate rapidly.

Allow only quali

fi

 ed personnel to service your device

Allowing unquali

fi

 ed personnel to service your device may result in 

damage to your device and will void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Handle SIM cards or memory cards with care

Do not remove a card while the device is transferring or accessing 

• 

information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the 
card or device.
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical 

• 

noise from other devices.
Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your 

fi

 ngers or 

• 

metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.

Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your device 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.

Electronic devices in a motor vehicle may malfunction due to 
the radio frequency of your device

Electronic devices in your car may malfunction due to radio frequency 
of your device. Contact the manufacturer for more information.

Comply with all safety warnings and 
regulations regarding mobile device usage 
while operating a vehicle

While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your 

fi

 rst responsibility. 

Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For 
your safety and the safety of others, practice good common sense and 
remember the following tips:

Use a hands-free device.

• 

Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as 

• 

speed dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time 
needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your 

• 

wireless device without removing your eyes from the road. If you 
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail 
answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend 

• 

calls in heavy traf

fi

 c or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, 

snow, ice, and heavy traf

fi

 c can be hazardous.

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” 

• 

list or 

fl

 ipping through your address book takes attention away from 

your primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traf

fi

 c. Place calls when you are not 

• 

moving or before pulling into traf

fi

 c. Try to plan calls when your 

car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few 
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

Speci

fi

 c Absorption Rate (SAR) certi

fi

 cation 

information

Your device 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 devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the 
Speci

fi

 c Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg.

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 
0.582 W/ kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, 
as the device 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 device reduces your overall 
exposure to RF energy.
For more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit 
the Samsung website.
