Health and safety information
• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's
moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as
a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone may
explode when overheated.
• When the phone or battery gets wet, the label indicating
water damage inside the phone changes color. In this
case, phone repairs are no longer guaranteed by the
manufacturer's warranty, even if the warranty for your
phone has not expired.
• If your phone has a flash or light, do not use it too close
to the eyes of people or animals. This may cause damage
to their eyes.
• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas or modified accessories
may damage the phone and violate regulations
governing radio devices.
• If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not
working properly, take it to your nearest qualified
service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if
necessary, arrange for service.

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.
The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The SAR values
may vary, depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.
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℃(32
℉).
• 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
