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.
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.
Store the battery pack in a dry place.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 buttons lightly, use special features that reduce the
number of buttons you have to press (such as templates
and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.
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.
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-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 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 phone conforms to international guidelines
developed by the independent scientifi c organisation
ICNIRP that limit human exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications
equipment. These guidelines recommend a maximum
exposure level (known as the Specifi c Absorption Rate, or
SAR) of 2.0 watts per kilogram of body tissue.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model
was 0.
342
watts per kilogram when held at the ear and
0.
342
watts per kilogram when worn on the body.
1
In
normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as
the phone 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
phone reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that
the scientifi c information available at present does not
suggest a need for users to take any special precautions
to prevent RF exposure when using mobile phones.
1. When used with accessories that contain no metal and provide at least 1.5 cm
separation between the device (including the antenna, whether extended or
retracted) and the wearer's body.
