Certification Information
Your device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio
Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the
U.S. Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived
from the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by
from industry, government, and academia
literature related to the biological effects of
RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for
wireless mobile devices employs a unit
23
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a
measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in
units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection to the
public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the device transmitting at its highest
bands. Although the SAR is determined at
SAR level of the device while operating can
be well below the maximum reported value.
This is because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output of the device.

FCC. Tests for each model are performed
in positions and locations (for example, at
the ear, worn on the body, or worn on the
wrist) as required by the FCC. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For typical operation, this device has been
tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

Caution! Any device that uses Bluetooth
or Wi-Fi is subject to FCC Part 15. Any
device with a power supply is subject
to Part 15 which also covers both
intentional radiators (Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi) and unintentional radiators (such
as emissions from power supplies and
circuit boards).
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you
27
not expressly approved by Samsung could
void your authority to operate the device.
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Caution! This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
28
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
The device may cause TV or radio
interference if used in close proximity to
receiving equipment. The FCC can require
you to stop using the mobile device if such
interference cannot be eliminated.

Warning: Never dispose of batteries
in a fire because they may explode.
Samsung cares for the environment and
encourages its customers to properly
dispose of Samsung Mobile Devices and
Samsung accessories in accordance with
local regulations. In some areas, disposal
of these items in household or business
trash may be prohibited.
Proper disposal of your Mobile Device and
its battery is not only important for safety, it
easy for you to recycle your old Samsung
Mobile Devices and batteries by working
with respected take-back companies in
every state in the country. Help us protect
the environment - recycle!
For battery and cell phone recycling, go to

In addition, most carriers will provide
a take-back option for proper
disposal of products when purchasing new
products.

Certain Samsung Mobile Devices can use
a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal
for location-based applications. GPS uses
satellites controlled by the U.S. Government
that are subject to changes implemented
in accordance with the Department of
Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may
affect the performance of location-based
technology on your mobile device.
Certain Samsung Mobile Devices can
also use an Assisted Global Positioning
System (AGPS), which obtains information
from the cellular network to improve GPS
performance.
31
AGPS uses your wireless service provider’s
network and therefore airtime, data
charges, and/or additional charges may
apply in accordance with your service plan.
Contact your wireless service provider for
details.
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 require location-based
information (e.g., driving directions), such
applications transmit location-based
information. The location-based information
may be shared with third-parties, including
your wireless service provider, applications
providers, Samsung, and other third-parties
providing services.
32
When you make an emergency call, the
cellular network may activate AGPS
technology in your mobile device to tell the
emergency responders your approximate
location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in
your area.
Therefore:
• 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.
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.
33
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.
Caution! Some applications or prolonged
usage may increase device temperature.
Prolonged skin contact with a device
that is hot to the touch may produce
skin discomfort or redness, or low
temperature burns. If the device feels
hot to the touch, discontinue use and
close all applications or turn off the
device until it cools.
Always ensure that the device has adequate
the performance of the device, and poses a

lead to serious bodily injuries or damage
to property. Covering the device can trap
any dissipating heat and redirect it back to
the device while it’s active. Although the
device might not currently be in full use,
background applications and functions
can generate heat that can accidentally be
trapped when covered.
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with it because they could
hurt themselves and others, damage the
device, or make calls that increase your
mobile device bill.
Keep the device and all its parts and
accessories out of the reach of small
children.
