safety and usage information  

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 fl ash or light close to 

• 

the eyes of children or animals.
Your phone and memory cards may be damaged 

• 

by exposure to magnetic fi elds. Do not use carrying 

cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow 

your phone to come in contact with magnetic fi elds 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 qualifi ed personnel to service your 

phone

Allowing unqualifi ed 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.

• 

Turn off the phone in potentially explosive 

environments

Do not use your phone at refueling 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 fi re in and 

around fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or 

blasting areas. Do not store or carry fl ammable 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 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-colored 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 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.

SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 

is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission 

limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by 

the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the 

U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive 

guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy 

for the general population. The guidelines are based on 

the safety standards that were developed by independent 

scientifi c organizations through periodic and through 

evaluation of scientifi c studies.

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 infl ate 

rapidly.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers 

with care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers 

• 

specifi cally 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 fi re. 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.

Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak 

performance of your mobile phone.
