Comply with all safety warnings and 

regulations regarding mobile device usage 

while operating a vehicle

While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. 

Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For 

your safety and the safety of others, practice good common sense and 

remember the following tips:

Use a hands-free device.

• 

Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as 

• 

speed dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time 

needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your 

• 

wireless device without removing your eyes from the road. If you 

receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail 

answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend 

• 

calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, 

snow, ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” 

• 

list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from 

your primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not 

• 

moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your 

car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few 

numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be 

• 

distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving 

and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your 

attention from the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in 

• 

the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.

Warning: Prevent electric shock, fire, and 

explosion

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.

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was  

0.863 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.

The Declaration of Conformity statement at the back of this manual 

demonstrates your device’s compliance with the European Radio 

& Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For 

more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the 

Samsung website.
