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

Safety and usage information
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.

5
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.
Safety precautions
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.

6
Safety and usage information
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 or device is
replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries or devices according to the
instructions.

7
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.

8
Safety and usage information
Important 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.

9
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.
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 watts per kilogram of body
tissue.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded
for this model was 0.414 watts per kilogram.
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 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 mobile phone website.
