Safety precautions
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
Follow all safety warnings and regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a mobile phone in a certain area.
Use only
Using incompatible accessories may damage your phone or cause injury.
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 the phone and batteries from damage
•Avoid exposing your phone and batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below
0° C/32° F or above 45° C/113° F). Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the phone and reduce the charging capacity and life of your phone 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.
Handle your phone carefully and sensibly
•Do not disassemble your phone due to a risk of electric shock.
•Do not allow your phone to get
•Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts.
•Your phone is a complex electronic
•Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.
•If your phone has a camera flash or light, avoid using it close to the eyes of children or animals.
•Your phone may be damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended periods of time.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience.
Important usage information
Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone's internal antenna.
Internal antenna
Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in damage to your phone and will void your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
•Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten battery life.
•Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.
•Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
•Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care
•Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or phone.
•Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices.
•Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards.
•Do not touch
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information
Your phone conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile phones that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 watts per kilogram.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.684 watts per kilogram. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the phone 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 phone reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
The Declaration of Conformity of this manual demonstrates your phones compliance with the European Radio & Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung mobile phone website.

Charge the battery
To charge the battery by travel adapter
1. Plug the supplied travel adapter. 2. When charging is finished, unplug the travel adapter.
To AC power outlet
Do not remove the battery from the phone before unplugging the travel adapter first. Otherwise, the phone may be damaged.
To charge the battery by sunlight
When you charge the battery by sunlight, ensure the battery is inserted and expose the solar panel to direct sunlight and prevent it from shade.
To ensure efficient charging, place the phone so that the solar panel faces the sun directly, as shown.
Cautions for sunlight charging
•Do not connect to the phone to a travel adapter or USB cable while charging by sunlight.
•Do not leave the phone in an enclosed car for a long time, as the phone may overheat. Charging the battery when it is overheated may cause fire, deformation, breakdown, or malfunction of the phone.
•Do not expose the solar panel to sunlight for a long time to avoid very hot temperatures. Especially, do not leave your phone in a heated vehicle for a long period of time. This may damage the phone or battery.
•Do not charge the battery using a halogen or infrared lamp. This may cause fire or explosion.
•Do not focus sunlight on the solar panel with a mirror, lens, or eye glasses. This may overheat the phone and consequently cause fire, deformation, breakdown, or malfunction of the phone.
•Do not use the phone if the solar panel is cracked or broken. Broken glass could cause injury to your hand and face. Bring the phone to a Samsung service centre to replace the solar panel.
Notes for sunlight charging
•When the phone is off, 1 hour of sunlight at about 80,000 lux (approximately the amount of sunlight at noon on a sunny day) charging will provide approximately
•Sunlight is a secondary power source. To ensure a
•Sunlight charging is not possible in the following situations:
-Near a window that blocks direct sunlight
-In high or low temperatures
-If any part of solar panel is covered
-If you attach a protection film or ornaments to the solar panel or scribble or write on it
•While wearing the phone on your neck, the battery may not charge efficiently due to indirect sunlight.
•The battery cannot be charged by artificial light.
•Always keep the solar charging point and the solar panel clean.
