Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition, or has a family history of such symptoms or conditions, should see a doctor before using the Iris Scanner. DO NOT stare directly into the infrared iris recognition LED as prolonged use can cause eyestrain.
• Remove eye glasses and sun glasses. Tinted contact lenses and surgically repaired/replaced iris lenses may interfere with operation of the Iris Scanner. • Don’t use the Iris Scanner in bright sunlight or areas with excessive reflected light (ex: by the pool or seashore). • Don’t use the Iris Scanner in low light. • Look straight at the device (not up, down or sideways); and hold your head still for the scan. • Don’t walk or operate a vehicle while using the Iris Scanner.
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).
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.
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 are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear, worn on the body, or worn on the wrist) as required by the FCC. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. For typical operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines.
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.com/sar FCC Part 15 Information and Notices Note: Any device that uses Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is subject to FCC Part 15. Any device with a power supply is subject to Part 15 which also covers both intentional radiators (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) and unintentional radiators (such as emissions from power supplies and circuit boards).
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.
• 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. 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. Samsung mobile products and recycling WARNING! Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
We’ve made it easy for you to recycle your old Samsung Mobile Devices and batteries by working with respected take-back companies in every state in the country. Help us protect the environment - recycle! For battery and cell phone recycling, go to call2recycle.org or call 1-800-822-8837. 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.
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. 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 locationbased technology on your mobile device.
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 locationbased information (e.g., driving directions), such applications transmit location-based information.
All users should pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs. Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS) This device is designed to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts from CMAS. If your wireless provider has chosen to participate in CMAS, 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.
Device temperature 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.
Sound and hearing Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss by not exposing yourself to loud sounds for a prolonged period of time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played louder and for longer durations. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices) varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the headphones that are used.
