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 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.
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.
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 gold-colored contacts or terminals with
your fi ngers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card
with a soft cloth.
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.
safety and usage information

Safety warnings

Keep your phone away from small children and
pets
Keep your phone and all accessories out of the reach
of small children or animals. Small parts may cause
choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes
can cause hearing damage. Always turn the
volume down before plugging the earphones
into an audio source and use only the
minimum volume setting necessary to hear
your conversation or music.
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 infl ate
rapidly.
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 disassemble your phone due to a risk of electric
shock.
• Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause
serious damage and will change the color of the label
that indicates water damage inside the phone. Do not
handle your phone with wet hands. Water damage to
your phone can void your manufacturer's warranty.
SAR information
Your phone conforms to U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) standards that limit human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by
radio and telecommunications equipment. These
standards prevent the sale of mobile phone that exceed
a maximum exposure level (known as the Specifi c
Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR values recorded for
this model were:
Specifi c Absorption Rate
Network
Frequency
Held to ear Worn on body
GSM850 (1g) 1.08 0.32
GSM900 (10g) 0.645 -
GSM1800 (10g) 0.515 -
GSM1900 (1g) 0.81 0.36
1. When used with accessories that contain no metal and provide
at least 1.5 cm separation between the phone (including the
antenna, whether extended or retracted) and the wearer's
body.
Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or illegal situations and ensure peak performance of your
mobile phone.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care
• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers
specifi cally designed for your phone.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious
injuries or damage to your phone.
• Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fi re. Follow
all local regulations when disposing of used batteries
or phones.
• 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.
• Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas
to prevent damage to moving parts.
• Your phone is a complex electronic device—protect
it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious
damage.
• Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving
parts and prevent proper operation.
• If your phone has a camera fl ash or light, avoid using it
close to the eyes of children or animals.
• Your phone may be damaged by exposure to magnetic
fi elds. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with
magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in
contact with magnetic fi elds 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.
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 FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone based on the compliance of
all reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. The authorization can be found on the FCC
Offi ce of Engineering and Technology website at http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea (search for grantee code A3L and
product code E1086/E1086L).

Turn off the phone in potentially explosive
environments
Do not use your phone at refueling 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 fi re in and
around fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or
blasting areas. Do not store or carry fl ammable liquids,
gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the phone, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
While using 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.
Do not use the phone if the screen is cracked
or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands
and face. Bring the phone to a Samsung service center
to replace the screen. Damage caused by careless
handling will void your manufacturer's warranty.

Important usage information

Use your phone in the normal position
Avoid contact with your phone's internal antenna.
Internal antenna
Allow only qualifi ed personnel to service your
phone
Allowing unqualifi ed personnel to service your phone
may result in damage to your phone and will void your
warranty.
