Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
This device is rated IP68 using the
Ingress Protection rating system.
Your device has been tested in a
controlled environment and shown
to be water and dust resistant in
certain circumstances (meets
requirements of classification IP68
as described by the international
standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of
Protection provided by Enclosures
[IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C,
86-106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, your
Hero2_.book Page 9 Wednesday, February 17, 2016 3:03 PM

10
device is not impervious to water
damage in any situation. It is
important that all compartments are
closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to
prevent damage to the device.
• Whenever your device gets wet, dry
it thoroughly with a clean, soft
cloth.
• Do not expose the device to salt
water or ionized water, or to water
over
5.0 feet deep for more than
30 minutes . If your device is
exposed to fresh water, dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
If the device is exposed to any
liquid other than fresh water, rinse
the device with fresh water
immediately and dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to
rinse the device in fresh water and
dry it as instructed may cause the
device to suffer from operability or
cosmetic issues.
• Do not expose the device to water
at high pressure, such as ocean
waves or a waterfall.
• If the device is dropped or receives
an impact, the water and dust
resistant features of the device may
be damaged.

Health and Safety Information 11
• The touchscreen and other features
may not work properly if the device
is used in water or in other liquids.
[013016]
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 devices
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).
Hero2_.book Page 11 Wednesday, February 17, 2016 3:03 PM

12
The FCC requires wireless devices
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
device 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 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.
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.
Hero2_.book Page 12 Wednesday, February 17, 2016 3:03 PM

Health and Safety Information 13
For body-worn operation, this
device has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with an accessory that

ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. The FCC has
granted an Equipment
Authorization for this mobile device

Health and Safety Information 19
GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices
can use a Global Positioning 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 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. 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
Hero2_.book Page 19 Wednesday, February 17, 2016 3:03 PM

20
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.
Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
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.
Navigation
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.
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,
