Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or illegal 

situations and ensure peak performance of your mobile phone.

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. 

Use only the specifi ed SAMSUNG charger.

•  Never dispose of batteries in a fi re. There is a risk of overheating, 

fi re or explosion, if put into a fi re, heated, or subjected to impact. 

•  Follow all local regulations when disposing used batteries.

safety and usage information

•  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 pace-

maker 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 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.

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 acces-

sories 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 if handled as shown in 

the following:

-  Batteries come into contact with water, or if the battery terminals 

are connected to a necklace or any other metals. 

• 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.

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.

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 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 European Union (EU) Council. 

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 organisations through periodic and thorough 

evaluation of scientifi c studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure 

the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of mea-

surement known as Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set 

by the EU Council is 2.0W/kg. The highest SAR value for this model 

phone was 0.843 W/kg.

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.
