Safety precautions
133
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 fingers 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.
Keep your personal and important data safe
While using your device, be sure to back up important data. Samsung is not
•
responsible for data loss.
When disposing of your device, back up all data and then reset your device
•
to prevent misuse of your personal information.
Do not distribute copyright-protected material
Do not distribute copyright-protected material that you have recorded to
others without the permission of the content owners. Doing this may violate
copyright laws. The manufacturer is not liable for any legal issues caused by the
user’s illegal use of copyrighted material.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
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 Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 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.
