to high external pressure, which can lead to an internal short
circuit and overheating.
Protect the device, batteries, and chargers from
damage
• 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.
• Never use a damaged charger or battery.

regulations when using your device in
restricted areas
Turn off your device where prohibited

Most electronic devices use radio frequency signals. Your device
may interfere with other electronic devices.
Do not use your device near a pacemaker
• 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.
• To minimise the possible interference with a pacemaker,
use your device on the opposite side of your body from the
pacemaker.
Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical
equipment that can be interfered with by radio
frequency
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 handle a damaged or leaking Lithium Ion
(Li-Ion) battery

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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to
divert your 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.
When cleaning your device:
• Wipe your device or charger with a towel or a rubber.
• Clean the terminals of the battery with a cotton ball or a towel.
• Do not use chemicals or detergents.
Do not use the device if the screen is cracked or
broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands and
face. Take the device to a Samsung Service Centre to have it
repaired.
Do not use the device for anything other than its
intended use
Avoid disturbing others when using the device in
public
Do not allow children to use your device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as
they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device, or
make calls that increase your charges.
Install mobile devices and equipment with caution
• Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment installed
in your vehicle are securely mounted.
• Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an air
bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment
can cause serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your device
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your device may result
in damage to your device and will void your manufacturer’s
warranty.
• 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.
Proper care and use of your mobile device

• Humidity and all types of liquids may damage device parts or
electronic circuits.
• When wet, remove the battery without turning on your device.
