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.
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 of 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.
Listening to a headset at high
volumes can damage your hearing.
Use only the minimum volume
setting necessary to hear your
conversation or music.

5
Safety and usage information
• 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
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 and usage information
6
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.
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.

7
Safety and usage information
• 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.
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 a complex electronic
device—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 devices
Your device emits radio frequency (RF)
signals that may interfere with unshielded
or improperly shielded electronic
equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, medical devices, and other electronic
devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the
manufacturers of your electronic devices to
solve any interference problems you
experience.
