•
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.
•
•
•
Avoid using your device within a 15 cm range of a pacemaker if
possible, as your device can interfere with the pacemaker.
If you must use your device, keep at least 15 cm away from the
pacemaker.

remember the following tips:
Mobile Phone
user manual
Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical equipment
that can be interfered with by radio frequency
•
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to
high external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and
overheating.
Warning: Prevent electric shock, fire, and explosion
If you personally use any medical equipment, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment to ensure the safety of your equipment from radio
frequency.
Do not use damaged power cords or plugs, or loose electrical
sockets
Protect the device, batteries, and chargers from damage
If you are using a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for
information about radio interference
•
•
Use a hands-free device.
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands, or disconnect the
charger by pulling on the cord
•
•
•
Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very hot
temperatures.
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.
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.
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.
Do not bend or damage the power cord
•
Do not use your device while charging or touch your device with
wet hands
Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments

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.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation
(ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines
for this device model are:
In ldle mode, adjust the
phone’s volume; Make a

Check your accounts regularly for unauthorised or suspicious use.
If you find any sign of misuse of your personal information, contact

During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system
efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the operating
power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power
is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the
lower its SAR value.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food
and Drug Administration have stated that if people are concerned and
want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free device to
keep the phone away from the head during phone calls, or reduce the
amount of time spent on the phone.
