Section 4: Health & Safety Information This section outlines important safety precautions associated with using your device. The terms “device” or “mobile device” or “cell phone” are used in this section to refer to your device. Read this information before using your mobile device. WARNING! To avoid electric shock and damage to your device, do not charge device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle device, charger or cords with wet hands while charging.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device: • Any device which uses accessible compartments or ports that can be opened should have these sealed or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering the system. • Whenever the device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. • Water resistant based on IP68 rating, which tests submersion in fresh water up to 5 feet for up to 30 minutes.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information Your 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).
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. For more information about SAR, visit: • https://www.fcc.gov./general/ radio-frequency-safety-0 • www.fcc.
This device has FCC ID: A3LSMG970U and Model Number: SM-G970U. The FCC ID is also printed somewhere on the mobile device. Depending on the device, you may need to remove the battery to find the FCC ID. SAR information for this and other devices can be found on the FCC website at: www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ Follow the instructions on the website to use the FCC ID to find SAR values for the device. SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website at: www.samsung.
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.
FCC Notice The device may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the mobile device if such interference cannot be eliminated. This equipment complies with FCC RF Radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. When using the wireless power sharing function, this equipment should be operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the device and your body.
In addition, most carriers will provide a takeback option for proper disposal of products when purchasing new products. Dispose of other unwanted electronics through an approved recycler. To find the nearest recycling location, go to our website: www.samsung.com/recycling or call 1-800-SAMSUNG. GPS & AGPS Certain Samsung Mobile Devices can use a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based applications. GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S.
Additionally, if you use applications that require location-based information (e.g., driving directions), such applications transmit location-based information. The location-based information may be shared with third-parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Samsung, and other thirdparties providing services.
Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS) This device is designed to receive wireless emergency alerts from the Commercial Mobile Alerting System (“CMAS”; which may also be known as the Personal Localized Alerting Network (“PLAN”)). If your wireless provider has chosen to participate in CMAS/PLAN, alerts are available while in the provider’s coverage area. If you travel outside your provider’s coverage area, wireless emergency alerts may not be available.
Consult your User Manual and your local cellular service provider. When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your mobile device may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident; do not end the call until given permission to do so. To make an emergency call: 1. If the mobile device is not on, turn it on. 2. Open the phone dialer. 3.
Mobile devices that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
For example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless mobile device meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equals M5. Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid user with normal use while using the hearing aid with the particular wireless mobile device. A sum of M6 or more would indicate excellent performance. However, these are not guarantees that all users will be satisfied. T-ratings work similarly.
Always ensure that the device has adequate ventilation and air flow. Covering the device can significantly affect air flow, may affect the performance of the device, and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion, which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property. Covering the device can trap any dissipating heat and redirect it back to the device while it is active.
Restricting children’s access to your mobile device Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device, or make calls that increase your mobile device bill. Keep the device and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.
