of your device. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
When carrying the product or using it
while worn on your body, either use an
approved accessory such as a holster or
otherwise maintain a distance of 1.5 cm
from the body to ensure compliance with
RF exposure requirements. Note that the
product may be transmitting even if you
are not making a phone call.
•
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.
Comply with all safety warnings and regulations
regarding mobile device usage while operating a
vehicle
•
•
Never dispose of batteries or devices in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing of used batteries or devices.
Never place batteries or devices on or in heating devices, such as
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when
overheated.
Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical equipment
that can be interfered with by radio frequency
•
•
Some of the contents in this manual may differ from your
phone depending on the software of the phone or your service
provider.
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:
If you personally use any medical equipment, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment to ensure the safety of your equipment from radio
frequency.
Third party services may be terminated or interrupted at any
time, and Samsung makes no representation or warranty that
any content or service will remain available for any period of
time.
•
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 are using a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for
information about radio interference
•
•
Use a hands-free device.
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.

•
•
•
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.
Do not use damaged power cords or plugs, or loose electrical
sockets
•
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.
Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments
•
•
•
•
Turn off your device in potentially explosive environments instead of
removing the battery.
Always comply with regulations, instructions and signs in potentially
explosive environments.
Do not use your device at refuelling points (service stations), near
fuels or chemicals, and at blasting areas.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands, or disconnect the
charger by pulling on the cord
Your phone uses non-harmonised frequency and is intended
for use in all European countries. The Wi-Fi can be operated
in the EU without restriction indoors, but cannot be operated
outdoors in France.
•
•
•
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.
Do not bend or damage the power cord
•
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Do not use your device while charging or touch your device with
wet hands

attention from the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in
the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, a crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call a local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance
number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing
no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen,
call roadside assistance or another special, non-emergency number.

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:

types of waste and recycle them responsibly to promote the sustainable
reuse of material resources.
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 these items for environmentally safe recycling.
Business users should contact their supplier and check the terms and
conditions of the purchase contract. This product and its electronic

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.
A body-worn SAR test has been performed on this device with an
approved accessory or at a separation distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF
exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device must be
used with the approved accessory or positioned at least 1.5 cm away
from the body. If you use an unapproved accessory, ensure that the
accessory does not contain any metal components and that it positions
the device at least 1.5 cm away from the body.

This marking on the battery, manual or packaging indicates
that the batteries in this product should not be disposed of
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food
and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned
and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a hands-free
accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head and body
during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the device.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
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.
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.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
device with the model number.
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.
