safety and
usage
information
Comply with the following precautions to
avoid dangerous or illegal situations and
ensure peak performance of your 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

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 in a fire. Follow all
local regulations when disposing used
batteries.
• Never place batteries or phones on or in
heating devices, such as microwave ovens,
stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode
when overheated.
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
equipment, turn off the device immediately and
contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or
medical equipment 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
When sending text messages or playing games
on 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.

4
safety and usage information
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.
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 the 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.
• Risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
Safety precautions

safety and usage information
5
Handle your device carefully and
sensibly
• Do not allow your device to get wet—liquids
can cause serious damage. Do not handle
your device with wet hands. Water damage to
your device can void your manufacturer’s
warranty.
• Avoid using or storing your device in dusty,
dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts.
• Your device is made of complex electronics—
protect it from impacts and rough handling to
avoid serious damage.
• Do not paint your device, as paint can clog
moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Avoid using the device’s camera flash or light
close to the eyes of children or animals.
• Your device and memory cards may be
damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. Do
not use carrying cases or accessories with
magnetic closures or allow your device to
come in contact with magnetic fields for
extended periods of time.
Avoid interference with other
electronic equipment
Your device emits radio frequency (RF) signals
that may interfere with unshielded or improperly
shielded electronic equipment, such as
pacemakers, hearing aids, and medical
equipment in homes or vehicles. Consult the
manufacturers of your electronic equipment to
solve any interference problems you experience.

6
safety and usage information
Use your device in the normal position
Avoid contact with your device’s internal antenna.
Allow only qualified personnel to
service your device
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your
device may result in damage to your device 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 device is
transferring or accessing information, as this
could result in loss of data and/or damage to
the card or device.
• Protect cards from strong shocks, static
electricity, and electrical noise from other
equipment.
• Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the
life span of memory cards.
• Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or
terminals with your fingers or metal objects. If
dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your device 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.

Cautions
Changes or modifications made in the
radio phone, not expressly approved by
Samsung, will void the user’s authority to

said accessories cause damage or a
defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is
