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

cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.

L708.book Page 2 Thursday, August 28, 2008 10:26 AM

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 phone in a fire.

Follow all local regulations when disposing used

batteries or phone.

• 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.

safety and usage information

Turn off the phone in potentially

explosive environments

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.

Reduce the risk of repetitive motion

injuries

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.

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.

Follow all safety warnings and

regulations

Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a

mobile phone in a certain area.

Use only Samsung-approved

accessories

Using incompatible accessories may damage your

phone or cause injury.

Safety precautions

L708.book Page 4 Thursday, August 28, 2008 10:26 AM

safety and usage information

Turn off the phone near medical

equipment

Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in

hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all

regulations, posted warnings, and directions from

medical personnel.

Turn off the phone or disable the

wireless functions when in an aircraft

Your phone can cause interference with aircraft

equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off

your phone or switch to a mode that disables the

wireless functions when directed by airline

personnel.

Protect batteries and chargers from

damage

• 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.

• 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.

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.
