Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care.
The suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product
for many years:
Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that will
corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile device does get wet, do not accelerate drying with the
use of an oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may damage the mobile device and could
cause a fire or explosion.
Do not use the mobile device with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or
damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven. Doing so may cause a fire or
explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the mobile device.
Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution. If the mobile
device has a retractable camera lens, do not use soap and water to clean the lens. Use a blower
or brush or lens cleaning paper dampened in a lens cleaning solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough handling can break internal circuit
boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts or ventilation openings
and prevent proper operation.
Responsible Listening
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing
loss increases as sound is played louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
(including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research
suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cell phones, at high
volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss.
This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing
in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound produced by
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be used to determine the approximate
location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless network transmit
location-based information. Additionally, if you use applications that require location-based information
(e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit location-based information. The location-based
information may be shared with third-parties, including your wireless service provider, applications
providers, Samsung, and other third-parties providing services.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may activate AGPS technology in your mobile
device to tell the emergency responders your approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:
●
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and
●
Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency responder instructs you.
Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation-data, including data relating to your current location, may
contain inaccurate or incomplete data, and circumstances can and do change over time. In some areas,
complete information may not be available. Therefore, you should always visually confirm that the
navigational instructions are consistent with what you see before following them. All users should
pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact safe driving or
walking. Always obey posted road signs.
Emergency Calls
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks, as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions,
areas, or circumstances.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless mobile device for essential communications
(medical emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote or underdeveloped areas, plan an
alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel. Remember, to make or receive any calls,
the mobile device must be switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless mobile device networks or when certain network
services and/or mobile device features are in use. Check with local service providers. If certain features
are in use (call blocking, for example), you may first need to deactivate those features before you can
make an emergency call. Consult your User Manual and your local cellular service provider. When
making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible.
Remember that your mobile device may be the only means of communication at the scene of an
accident; do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the mobile device is not on, switch it on.
2. Open your phone dialer.
3. Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number), then tap Call/Send. Emergency numbers vary by location.
