To prevent injury to yourself and others or damage to your device, read all of the following information before using your device.
•
Never place batteries or devices on or in heating devices, such as
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when

Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very hot
temperatures.
•
Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and

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.
Do not disassemble, modify, or repair your device
•
Any changes or modifications to your device can void your
manufacturer's warranty. For service, take your device to a Samsung
Service Center.
•
Do not disassemble or puncture the battery, as this can cause
explosion or fire.
Do not paint or put stickers on your device
Paint and stickers can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.
If you are allergic to paint or metal parts of the product, you may
experience itching, eczema, or swelling of the skin. When this happens,
stop using the product and consult your physician.
When cleaning your device:
•
Wipe your device or charger with a towel or a rubber.

Do not allow children to use your device
before connecting a headset to the device.
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the device, or make calls
that increase your charges.
Install mobile devices and equipment with caution
•
Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment installed in
your vehicle are securely mounted.
•
Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an air bag
deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause
serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.
