Safety warnings  
safety and  
usage  
Keep your phone away from small  
children and pets  
Keep your phone and all accessories out of the  
reach of small children or animals. Small parts may  
cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.  
information  
Protect your hearing  
Comply with the following precautions to avoid  
dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak  
performance of your mobile phone.  
Listening to a headset at high volumes  
can damage your hearing. Use only the  
minimum volume setting necessary to  
hear your conversation or music.  
2
   
• Never place batteries or phones on or in heating  
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or  
radiators. Batteries may explode when  
overheated.  
Install mobile phones and equipment  
with caution  
Ensure that any mobile phones or related equipment  
installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid  
placing your phone and accessories near or in an air  
bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless  
equipment can cause serious injury when air bags  
inflate rapidly.  
• 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  
Handle and dispose of batteries and  
chargers with care  
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and  
chargers specifically designed for your phone.  
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause  
serious injuries or damage to your phone.  
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between  
mobile phones 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 phone is interfering with a  
pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the  
phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of  
the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.  
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local  
regulations when disposing used batteries.  
3
Turn off the phone in potentially  
explosive environments  
Safety precautions  
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service  
stations) or near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your  
phone whenever directed by warning signs or  
instructions. Your phone 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 phone, its parts, or  
accessories.  
Drive safely at all times  
Avoid using your phone while driving and obey all  
regulations that restrict the use of mobile phones  
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 phone in a certain area.  
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion  
injuries  
When sending text messages or playing games on  
your phone, hold the phone with a relaxed grip,  
press the buttons lightly, use special features that  
reduce the number of buttons you have to press  
(such as templates and predictive text), and take  
frequent breaks.  
Use only Samsung-approved  
accessories  
Using incompatible accessories may damage your  
phone or cause injury.  
4
 
Turn off the phone near medical  
equipment  
Protect batteries and chargers from  
damage  
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in  
hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all  
regulations, posted warnings, and directions from  
medical personnel.  
• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot  
temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 40° C/  
104° 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.  
Turn off the phone or disable the  
wireless functions when in an aircraft  
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft  
equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off  
your phone or switch to a mode that disables the  
wireless functions when directed by airline  
personnel.  
• Never use a damaged charger or battery.  
Handle your phone carefully and  
sensibly  
• Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can  
cause serious damage. Do not handle your  
phone with wet hands. Water damage to your  
phone can void your manufacturer’s warranty.  
5
• Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty  
areas to prevent damage to moving parts.  
Avoid interference with other electronic  
devices  
• Your phone is a complex electronic device—  
protect it from impacts and rough handling to  
avoid serious damage.  
Your phone 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.  
• Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog  
moving parts and prevent proper operation.  
• Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light  
close to the eyes of children or animals.  
• Your phone and memory cards may be damaged  
by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use  
carrying cases or accessories with magnetic  
closures or allow your phone to come in contact  
with magnetic fields for extended periods of time.  
Do not use the phone if the screen is  
cracked or broken  
Broken glass could cause injury to your hand and  
face. Bring the phone to Samsung service centre to  
replace the glass.  
6
• Disconnect chargers from power sources when  
not in use.  
Important usage information  
• Use batteries only for their intended purpose.  
Use your phone in the normal position  
Handle SIM cards and memory cards  
with care  
• Do not remove a card while the phone is  
transferring or accessing information, as this  
could result in loss of data and/or damage to the  
card or phone.  
Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna.  
Allow only qualified personnel to service  
your phone  
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone  
may result in damage to your phone and will void  
your warranty.  
• Protect cards from strong shocks, static  
electricity, and electrical noise from other devices.  
Ensure maximum battery and charger  
life  
• Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life  
span of memory cards.  
• Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as  
overcharging may shorten battery life.  
• Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals  
with your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the  
card with a soft cloth.  
• Over time, unused batteries will discharge and  
must be recharged before use.

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this  
model was 0.079 watts per kilogram. In normal use,  
the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the  
phone 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 phone reduces your overall  
exposure to RF energy.  
Ensure access to emergency services  
Emergency calls from your phone 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  
The Declaration of Conformity at the back of this  
manual demonstrates your phone’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.  
Your phone 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 phones that exceed a  
maximum exposure level (known as the Specific  
Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 watts per kilogram  
of body tissue.
