Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can cause hearing damage. 

Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio source and 

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 equipments 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. 

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care 

z

  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. 

z

  Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local regulations 

when disposing used batteries or phones. 

z

  Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as microwave 

ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated. 

z

  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 distance 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. 

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.
