Safety precautions
•
•
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.
•
•
If you must use your device, keep at least 15 cm away from the
pacemaker.
To minimise the possible interference with a pacemaker, use your
device on the opposite side of your body from the pacemaker.
Warning: Prevent electric shock, fire, and
explosion
Comply with all safety warnings and
regulations regarding mobile device usage
while operating a vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility.
Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law.
For your safety and the safety of others, practice good common
sense and remember the following tips:
Do not use damaged power cords or plugs, or loose electrical
sockets
Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical equipment
that can be interfered with by radio frequency
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands, or disconnect the
charger by pulling on the cord
Protect the device, batteries, and chargers from damage
If you personally use any medical equipment, contact the
manufacturer of the equipment to ensure the safety of your equipment
from radio frequency.

•
•
Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very hot
temperatures.
Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and
reduce the charging capacity and life of your device and 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.
•
•
Use a hands-free device.
Do not bend or damage the power cord
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as
speed dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time
needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device.
If you are using a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for
information about radio interference
Do not use your device while charging or touch your device
with wet hands
•
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your
wireless device without removing your eyes from the road. If you
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice
mail answer it for you.
Some hearing aids may be interfered with by the radio frequency of
your device. Contact the manufacturer to ensure the safety of your
hearing aid.
Do not short-circuit the charger or the battery
•
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Do not drop or cause an impact to the charger or the battery
•
•
•
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving.
Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to
do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away
from your primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your
car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
Phone layout
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 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was
0.881 W/kg. 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 statement 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 website.
This EEE is compliant with RoHS.
