safety and usage information
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 inflate
rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and
chargers with care
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers specifically designed for your
phone. Incompatible batteries and chargers
can cause serious injuries or damage to your
phone.
• Never dispose of batteries or phone in a fire.
Follow all local regulations when disposing
used batteries or phone.
• 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 pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

warning signs or instructions. Your phone 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 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 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.
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.

regulations
