The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note
that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so
by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device
to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
Precautions when using batteries
• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any
way.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• If you use the phone near the network's base station, it
uses less power. Talk and standby time are greatly
affected by the signal strength on the cellular network
and the parameters set by the service provider.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery
charge, the type of battery, and the charger used. The
battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation
time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a
new battery.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself
over time.
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your
battery only with Samsung-approved chargers.
Disconnect the charger from the power source when it is
not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for more than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its life.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of
your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the
capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced. Try to
keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a
hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when
the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are
particularly affected by temperatures below 0° C (32° F).
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-
circuiting can occur when a metallic object like a coin, clip
or pen causes a direct connection between the + and –
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery). For
example, do not carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag
where the battery may contact metal objects. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
object causing the short-circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in
a fire.
Road safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.
When you are driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone while driving, follow local
regulations in the country or region you are in.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in the
area you are in, and always switch off your phone whenever
it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or
danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another
device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions.
Do not connect incompatible products.
