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 device in a
fire. Follow all local regulations when
disposing of used batteries or device.
• 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

safety and usage information
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.
