Care and Maintenance Your mobile device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years: Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from: Liquids of any kind Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile device does get wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may damage the mobile device and could cause a fire or explosion. Do not use the mobile device with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or damage to the mobile device. Extreme heat or cold Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F. Microwaves Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven. Doing so may cause a fire or explosion. Dust and dirt Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand. Cleaning solutions Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the mobile device. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution. Shock or vibration Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. Paint Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the device's moving parts or ventilation openings and prevent proper operation. Responsible Listening Caution!: Avoid potential hearing loss. Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cell phones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Health and Safety Information 93

Health and Safety Information

Care and Maintenance

Your mobile device is a product of superior design

and craftsmanship and should be treated with care.

The suggestions below will help you fulfill any

warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this

product for many years:

Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:

Liquids of any kind

Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity,

and liquids contain minerals that will corrode

electronic circuits. If the mobile device does get

wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an

oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may

damage the mobile device and could cause a fire or

explosion. Do not use the mobile device with a wet

hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you

or damage to the mobile device.

Extreme heat or cold

Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above

45°C / 113°F.

Microwaves

Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave

oven. Doing so may cause a fire or explosion.

Dust and dirt

Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or

sand.

Cleaning solutions

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or

strong detergents to clean the mobile device. Wipe

it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild

soap-and-water solution.

Shock or vibration

Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device.

Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.

Paint

Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the

device’s moving parts or ventilation openings and

prevent proper operation.

Responsible Listening

Caution!: Avoid potential hearing loss

Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed

to loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss

increases as sound is played louder and for longer

durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds

(including music) is the most common cause of

preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research

suggests that using portable audio devices, such as

portable music players and cell phones, at high

volume settings for long durations may lead to

permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes

the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds,

and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure

to very loud sound has also been associated in some

studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),

hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing.
