Safety precautions

Warning: Prevent electric shock, fire, and explosion
Do not use damaged power cords or plugs, or loose electrical sockets
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 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. If you must use your device, keep at least 15 cm away from the pacemaker. To minimise the possible interference with a pacemaker, use your device on the opposite side of your body from the pacemaker.
Electronic devices in a motor vehicle may malfunction due to the radio frequency of your device
Electronic devices in your car may malfunction due to radio frequency of your device. Contact the manufacturer for more information.

Do not touch the power cord with wet hands, or disconnect the charger by pulling on the cord Do not bend or damage the power cord Do not use your device while charging or touch your device with wet hands Do not short-circuit the charger or the battery
Protect the device, batteries, and chargers from damage
Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and reduce the charging capacity and life of your device 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.
Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical equipment that can be interfered with by radio frequency
If you personally use any medical equipment, contact the manufacturer of the equipment to ensure the safety of your equipment from radio frequency.
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.

If you are using a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for information about radio interference
Some hearing aids may be interfered with by the radio frequency of your device. Contact the manufacturer to ensure the safety of your hearing aid.

Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your device 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 device 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 devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg. During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.732 W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device 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 device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy. For more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung website.
