WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A TOUCH-SCREEN MOBILE DEVICE If your mobile device has a touch-screen display, please note that a touch-screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch-screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, please refer to the "Standard Limited Warranty". GPS Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S. Government that are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may affect the performance of location-based technology on your mobile device. Even with GPS, when you make an emergency call: • Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your ability; and 212 • Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency responder instructs you. Navigation Maps, directions, and other navigation-data, including data relating to your current location, may contain inaccurate or incomplete data, and circumstances can and do change over time. In some areas, complete information may not be available. Therefore, you should always visually confirm that the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see before following them. All users should pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs. Emergency Calls This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions, areas, or circumstances. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless mobile device for essential communications (medical emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote or underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel. Remember, to

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A

TOUCH-SCREEN MOBILE DEVICE

If your mobile device has a touch-screen display,

please note that a touch-screen responds best to a

light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic

stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when

pressing on the touch-screen may damage the

tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For

more information, please refer to the “Standard

Limited Warranty”.

GPS

Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global Positioning

System (GPS) signal for location-based applications. A GPS

uses satellites controlled by the U.S. Government that are

subject to changes implemented in accordance with the

Department of Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio

navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may affect the performance

of location-based technology on your mobile device.

Even with GPS, when you make an emergency call:

•

Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of

your ability; and

•

Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency

responder instructs you.

Navigation

Maps, directions, and other navigation-data, including data

relating to your current location, may contain inaccurate or

incomplete data, and circumstances can and do change over

time. In some areas, complete information may not be

available.

Therefore, you should always visually confirm that

the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see

before following them. All users should pay attention to road

conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may

impact safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs.

Emergency Calls

This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device, operates

using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, as well

as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee

connection in all conditions, areas, or circumstances.

Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless

mobile device for essential communications (medical

emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote or

underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of

contacting emergency services personnel. Remember, to
