GPS
GALAXY can use a Global Posit
ioning 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 perf ormance of location-based 
technology on your mobile device.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be 
used to determine the approximate location of a mobile 
device. Mobile devices which  are connected to a wireless 
network transmit location-based  information. Additionally, if 
you use applications that requi re location-based information 
(e.g. driving directions), such applications transmit 
location-based information. The  location-based information 
may be shared with third-part ies, including your wireless 
service provider, applications providers, Samsung, and other 
third-parties providing services.
Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navi gation-data, including data 
relating to your current locati on, 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 followi ng 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 Communication
GALAXY should not be relied upon for essential 
communications (medical emergencies, calls to 911, or 
communications to emergency services). GALAXY is not 
designed or intended to be us ed for such communications. 
Voice Over Internet Protocol  (VOIP) services which may be 
used on GALAXY to make phone calls do not support 911 
calls and are only intended for talking with friends.
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 wi ll 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 mobi le 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 de vice 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 shak e 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 pote ntial 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 so unds (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 hearin g loss. This includes the use 
of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth
® 
or other wireless devices).  
						

							149
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. Individual 
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential 
hearing problem varies. Additi
onally, the amount of sound 
produced by a portable audio de vice varies depending on the 
nature of the sound, the devi ce settings, and the headphones 
that are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting 
that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of 
sound, settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense recommendations 
when using any portable audio device:
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into 
an audio source.
Set the volume in a quiet envi ronment and select the lowest 
volume at which you can hear adequately.
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, 
not realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to your 
hearing.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot 
hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to 
you can hear what you are listening to. 
Do not turn the  volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you 
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, 
use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background 
environmental noise. By blocking background environment noise, 
noise cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music 
at lower volumes than when using earbuds.
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less 
time is required before you hearing could be affected.
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, 
such as rock concerts, that mi ght cause temporary hearing loss. 
Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound 
normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you 
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or 
experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your 
portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
