Caution: Follow all safety warnings and regulations when using your device in restricted areas
Turn off your device where prohibited
Comply with all regulations that restrict the use of a mobile device in a particular area.
Do not use your device near other electronic devices

•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.
If you are using a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for information about radio interference
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.
Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments

Using your device in an aircraft is illegal. Your device may interfere with the electronic navigation instruments of the aircraft.
Electronic devices in a motor vehicle may malfunction due to the radio frequency of your device
Electronic devices in your car may malfunction due to radio frequency of your device. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
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.
•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
Keep your device dry
•Humidity and all types of liquids may damage device parts or electronic circuits.
•When wet, remove the battery without turning on your device. Dry your device with a towel and take it to a service centre.

and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.906 W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
The Declaration of Conformity statement at the back of this manual demonstrates your device’s compliance with the European Radio
&Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the
Samsung website
