SAFE™ (Samsung For Enterprise)
SAFE™: “SAFE™” (Samsung For Enterprise) is
a mark for a Samsung device which has been
tested against Samsung’s own internal criteria
for interoperability with certain third party
security-related solutions for MDM and VPN.
The testing includes field testing with local
network connection and menu tree testing
which tests functionality of the solutions
in conjunction with the Samsung device.
During the testing, the device is tested with
the security solutions to see if the solutions
work with the device as described by the third
party security solution providers. The testing,
for example, includes field testing with local
network connection and menu tree testing
which tests functionality of the solutions in
conjunction with the Samsung device.

Mobile Device?
For 24 hour information and assistance, we
offer a new FAQ/ARS System (Automated

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
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

10 Important Health, Safety and Warranty Information
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 mobile
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
