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 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.

10 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information 11
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.
Additional SAR information can also be obtained
at:

FCC Part 15 Information to User
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are
cautioned that changes or modiications 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.

10 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information 11
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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Term Commitments & Early
Termination Fees
Sprint provides a variety of Services, some of
which require you to maintain Your Services on
a month to month basis or for a minimum term,
usually 1 or 2 years (“Term Commitment”). If your
Agreement contains a Term Commitment, you
will be charged a fee (“Early Termination Fee”)
for each line of Service that you terminate early
(i.e., prior to satisfying the Term Commitment)
or for each line of Service that we terminate
early for good reason (for example, violating
the payment or other terms of the Agreement)
but such Early Termination Fee will be prorated
based on your remaining Term Commitment.
Early Termination Fees are a part of our rates.
Any Term Commitment, the length of the
Term Commitment, and the applicable Early
Termination Fee amounts and proration will be
disclosed to you during the sales transaction.
Carefully review any Term Commitment and
Early Termination Fee requirements prior to
selecting Services. After you have satisied your
Term Commitment, your Services continue on
a month-to-month basis under the then-current
Terms and Conditions and Service policies.
Services offered on a subscription basis, as
described in the “Account & Service Charges”
section, may not require a Term Commitment
and may not automatically renew. As explained
directly below, there are instances when you will
not be responsible for an Early Termination Fee
for terminating Services early.

20 General Terms and Conditions of Service v.7-1-13 v.7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 21

provided on a subscription basis that do not
include a Term Commitment; (c) consistent with
our published trial period return policy; or (d) in
response to a materially adverse change that
we make to the Agreement as described
directly below.
Our RightTo Change TheAgreement& Your
RelatedRights
We may change any part of the Agreement at
any time, including, but not limited to, rates,
charges, how we calculate charges, discounts,
coverage, technologies used to provide
services, or your terms of Service. If you lose
your eligibility for a particular rate plan or if a
particular rate plan is no longer supported or
available, we may change your rate plan to one
for which you qualify. We will provide you notice
of material changes—and we may provide you
notice of non-material changes—in a manner
consistent with this Agreement (see “Providing

section). If a change we make to the Agreement
is material and has a material adverse effect on

may terminate each line of Service materially
adversely affected without incurring an Early
Termination Fee only if: (a) you call us within
30 days after the effective date of the change;
(b) you speciically advise us that you wish to
cancel Services because of a material change
to the Agreement that we have made; and (c)
we fail to negate the change after you notify us
