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
may cause choking or serious injury if
swallowed.
Protect your hearing

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
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 used batteries or devices.
• 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 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.

safety and usage information
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.
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.
Safety precautions

5
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

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.
