safety and

usage

information

Comply with the following precautions to avoid

dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak

performance of your mobile phone.

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.

Protect your hearing

Safety warnings

Listening to a headset at high volumes can

damage your hearing. Use only the

minimum volume setting necessary to hear

your conversation or music.

safety and usage information

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.

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.

• Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire.

Follow all local regulations when disposing used

batteries or phones.

• Never place batteries or phones on or in heating

devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or

radiators. Batteries may explode when

overheated.

• 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

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.
