safety and
usage
information
Comply with the following precautions to avoid
dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak
performance of your mobile device.
Keep your device away from small
children and pets
Keep your device 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
Safety warnings
Listening to a headset at high volumes can
damage your hearing. Use only the
minimum volume setting necessary to hear
your conversation or music.

2
safety and usage information
Install mobile devices and equipment
with caution
Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment
installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid
placing your device 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
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers specifically designed for your device.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause
serious injuries or damage to your device.
• Never dispose of batteries or devices in a fire.
Follow all local regulations when disposing used
batteries or devices.
• Never place batteries or devices 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 devices 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 device is interfering with a
pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the
device immediately and contact the manufacturer of
the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

Turn off the device in potentially
explosive environments
Do not use your device at refuelling points (service
stations) or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your
device whenever directed by warning signs or
instructions. Your device 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 device, its parts, or
accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion
injuries
While using your device, hold the device 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.
Do not use the phone if the screen is
cracked or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your
hand and face. Bring the phone to a Samsung
service centre to replace the screen. Damage
caused by careless handling will void your
manufacturer’s warranty.
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your device while driving and obey all
regulations that restrict the use of mobile devices
while driving. Use hands-free accessories to
increase your safety when possible.
Safety precautions

safety and usage information
Follow all safety warnings and
regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a
mobile device in a certain area.
Use only Samsung-approved
accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
device or cause injury.
Turn off the device near medical
equipment
Your device can interfere with medical equipment in
hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all
regulations, posted warnings, and directions from
medical personnel.
Turn off the device or disable the
wireless functions when in an aircraft
Your device can cause interference with aircraft
equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off
your device 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.
• 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.
