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

This section outlines the safety precautions
associated with using your tablet. The terms
“tablet”, “device”, or “mobile device” are used
in this section to refer to your device. 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.

Speciic Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certiication Information
Your wireless mobile 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 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 devices 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 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 mobile device 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

8 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information 9
level of the mobile device while operating can
be well below the maximum reported value.
This is because the mobile 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 mobile device.
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
mobile device are performed in positions and
locations (e.g. near the body) as required by
the FCC.
For typical operations, this mobile device has
been tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines.
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 device
as reported to the FCC are:
Simultaneous Transmission Body-worn:
1.58 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 ind information that pertains to a
particular model mobile device, this site uses
the mobile device FCC ID number, which is
usually printed somewhere on the case of the
mobile device.
Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular
mobile device, follow the instructions on the
website and it should provide values for typical
or maximum SAR for a particular mobile device.

FCC Part 15 Information to User
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are

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.
