Health and Safety Information 2
Section 1: Health and Safety Information
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.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification
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 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.

Health and Safety Information 4
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). 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 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 mobile device while operating can be well below
the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile device is designed to

5
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
certified 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.

Health and Safety Information 6
This device has a FCC ID number: A3LSMT550 [Model Number: SM-T550] and the
specific SAR levels for this device can be found at the following FCC website:
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ .
The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website:
www.samsung.com/sar .
SAR information on this and other model 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 mobile device, this site uses the mobile device FCC ID number,
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the mobile device.

7
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
www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones.
FCC Part 15 Information to User
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are cautioned that changes or
modifications 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.

Health and Safety Information 8
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.

9
• 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.
Caution! Some applications or prolonged usage may increase device temperature.
Prolonged skin contact with a device that is hot to the touch may produce
skin discomfort or redness, or low-temperature burns. If the device feels hot
to the touch, discontinue use and close all applications or turn off the device
until it cools. Always ensure that the device has adequate ventilation and air
flow. Covering the device with bedding, your body, thick clothing or any
other materials that significantly affect air flow may affect the performance
of the phone and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion, which could lead
to serious bodily injuries or damage to property.

Health and Safety Information 10
Restricting Children's Access to Your Mobile Device
Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it because they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the mobile device, or make calls that
increase your mobile device bill.
Keep the mobile device and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small
children.
