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:
www.samsung.com/us/support
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.
Caution! Exercise care when using the
card removal tool to eject an
internal card slot.

8 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information
Speciic Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certiication Information
Your wireless phone 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
scientiic and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientiic
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 Speciic
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
certiied power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certiied power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone while

Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information 9
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 phone.
Before a new model device is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested and
certiied 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 phone 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.
This device has a FCC ID number:
A3LSMG920P [Model Number: SM-G920P]
and the speciic SAR levels for this device
can be found at the following FCC website:
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
The maximum SAR values for this model
phone as reported to the FCC are:
Simultaneous Transmission Head:
1.09 W/kg
Simultaneous Transmission Body-worn:
1.13 W/kg
The SAR information for this device can
also be found on Samsung’s website:
www.samsung.com/sar

10 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information
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 ind 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 ind 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 information can
also be obtained at:
