Safety warnings
•
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.
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.
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.

•
Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow
all local regulations when disposing used batteries or
phones.
Mobile Phone
user manual
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
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.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing
the battery to high external pressure, which can lead to
an internal short circuit and overheating.
When sending text messages or playing games on
your phone, hold the phone 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.
Install mobile phones and equipment with
caution
Avoid interference with pacemakers
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.
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.
Some of the contents in this manual may differ
from your phone depending on the software of

Safety precautions
•
•
•
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.
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.
•
•
•
•
Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as
overcharging may shorten battery life.
Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must
be recharged before use.
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.
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.
Disconnect chargers from power sources when not
in use.
Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Follow all safety warnings and regulations
Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care
Important usage information
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a
mobile phone in a certain area.
•
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.
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.
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone's internal antenna.
•
•
•
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity,
and electrical noise from other devices.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
phone or cause injury.
Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span
of memory cards.
•
•
Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas
to prevent damage to moving parts.
Internal antenna
Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with
your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card
with a soft cloth.
Turn off the phone near medical equipment
Your phone is a complex electronic device—protect
it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious
damage.
Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in
hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations,
posted warnings, and directions from medical
personnel.
•
•
•
Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving
parts and prevent proper operation.
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.
Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to
the eyes of children or animals.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your

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.
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone

(Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment)
Correct disposal of batteries in this product
(Applicable in the European Union and other European
countries with separate battery return systems.)
Install the SIM card and battery
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.
1. Remove the battery cover and insert the SIM card.
(Applicable in the European Union and other
European countries with separate collection
systems)
This marking on the battery, manual or
packaging indicates that the batteries in this
product should not be disposed of with other
household waste at the end of their working
life. Where marked, the chemical symbols Hg, Cd or Pb
indicate that the battery contains mercury, cadmium or
lead above the reference levels in EC Directive 2006/66.
If batteries are not properly disposed of, these
substances can cause harm to human health or the
environment.
This marking shown on the product or its

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this
model was 0.636 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.
To prevent possible harm to the environment or human
health from uncontrolled waste disposal, please separate
this from other types of wastes and recycle it responsibly
to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.
To protect natural resources and to promote material
reuse, please separate batteries from other types of
waste and recycle them through your local, free battery
return system.
Household users should contact either the retailer where
they purchased this product, or their local government
office, for details of where and how they can take this
item for environmentally safe recycling.
