Do you have questions about your Samsung
Mobile Device?
For 24 hour information and assistance, we
offer a new FAQ/ARS System (Automated
Response System) at:

This section outlines the safety precautions
associated with using your phone. The
terms “mobile device” or “cell phone” are
used in this section to refer to your phone.
Read this information before using your
mobile device.
This device is capable of operating in
Wi-Fi™ mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
The FCC requires that devices operating
within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used
indoors, not outside, in order to avoid
interference with Mobile Satellite Services
(MSS). Therefore, this device is restricted
from being used outdoors when operating
in frequencies between 5.15-5.25 GHz.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information
Your wireless 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

8Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information 9
Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological effects of
RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for
wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific
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 requires wireless phones to comply
with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 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 phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while operating can
be well below the maximum reported value.
This is because the phone 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.

Before a new model device is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests
for each model phone are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC.
For body-worn operation, this device has
been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions
the mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this
mobile device with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The maximum SAR values for this model
phone as reported to the FCC are:
Simultaneous Transmission Head:
1.20 W/Kg
Simultaneous Transmission Body-worn:
1.37 W/Kg
The SAR information for this device can also
be found on Samsung’s website:
www.samsung.com/sar
SAR information on this and other model
devices can be accessed online on the
FCC’s website through http://transition.
fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find
information that pertains to a particular
model, this site uses the device FCC ID
number which is usually printed somewhere
on the case of the device. Sometimes it may
be necessary to remove the battery pack
to find the number. Once you have the FCC
ID number for a particular device, follow the
instructions on the website and it should

provide values for typical or maximum
SAR for a particular phone. Additional SAR

FCC Part 15 Information to User
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules,
you are cautioned that changes or
modifications 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.
Note: 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
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:
