112 Safety
Turn off your phone when you are in an area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it is rare, your phone or its accessories could
generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always,
clearly marked.
These areas include:
• Fueling areas such as gas stations.
• Below deck on boats.
• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
• Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or
metal powders.
• Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or its accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, dial 911 by mistake, or make
calls that increase your phone bill.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
• Use only Samsung approved batteries and desktop chargers. These
chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or
chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
• In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that
range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
• Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas,
such as the bathroom.
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
• Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
