SECTION 3
Managing audio/video surveillance protections
When SafeCase is powered on, audio/video surveillance protections are automatically engaged; this is the default mode, known as protected mode. In addition to protected mode, there are two additional modes: unprotected mode (used when capturing images/audio and placing/ receiving phone/video calls) and audio passthrough mode (for using your voice assistant or recording audio memos with video protections still engaged).

PROTECTED MODE: FOR FULL PROTECTION
Protected mode is the default audio/video surveillance protection mode. In this state:
· The audio masking and camera blocking features are engaged.
· The corner indicator LEDs pulse green every 10 seconds.
It is normal to hear a soft white noise coming from SafeCase when in protected mode, a result of the audio masking adapting to the noise level in the environment surrounding SafeCase/Galaxy. While in protected mode, most phone features ­ including apps, videos, emails, music and text messages ­ can still be accessed.
MAINTAIN PROTECTED MODE
To maintain protected mode, simply keep SafeCase powered on.
REVERT TO PROTECTED MODE
To change from unprotected mode (see: next section) back to protected mode, quickly swipe right (with the phone facing you) across the touch bar, from the unlocked icon to the locked icon. As the camera shutter closes, an ascending audio tone will play and the corner indicator LEDs will blink green five times.

UNPROTECTED MODE: FOR PHONE/VIDEO CALLS AND AUDIO/IMAGE CAPTURE
Temporarily changing to unprotected mode is necessary for capturing images/audio and placing/receiving phone/video calls. In this state:
· The audio masking and camera blocking features are disengaged.
· The corner indicator LEDs pulse red every three seconds.
Entering unprotected mode must take place before capturing images/audio; otherwise, the recorded photos, videos and audio will be indecipherable. Similarly, entering unprotected mode must take place before placing/ receiving a phone/video call; otherwise, the other participant(s) in the call will not be able to understand what you’re saying.
USE THE TOUCH BAR
To change to unprotected mode, quickly swipe left (with the phone facing you) across the touch bar, from the locked icon to the unlocked icon. As the camera shutter opens, a descending audio tone will play and the corner indicator LEDs will blink red five times.

Quickly swipe right across the touch bar SECTION 3.10

Quickly swipe left across the touch bar
To change back to protected mode after the call/capture, quickly swipe right across the touch bar, from the unlocked icon to the locked icon.
PRIVORO.COM

AUDIO PASSTHROUGH MODE: FOR BIXBY/GOOGLE ASSISTANT AND AUDIO MEMOS
Temporarily changing to audio passthrough mode allows you to leave camera/video protections engaged while using Bixby/ Google Assistant (or another voice assistant) or recording audio memos. In this state:
· The audio masking feature is disengaged while the camera blocking feature remains engaged.
· The corner indicator LEDs pulse red every three seconds.
USE THE PUSH-TO-TALK BUTTON
To change to audio passthrough mode, press and hold the push-to-talk button. When first pressed, the corner indicator LEDs will blink red five times and a confirmation tone will play. After the tone, begin your voice action.
When using Bixby/Google Assistant, for best results keep holding the push-to- talk button until the voice assistant has finished responding.
When you have completed your voice action, release the button (and change back to protected mode). The corner indicator LEDs will blink green five times.
CHECKED-IN MODE: FOR FULL PROTECTION WITHIN A SENSITIVE LOCATION
If required by your organization, checked-in mode applies to phone usage within facilities where sensitive information is shared. Checked-in mode effectively keeps your SafeCase in protected mode while also disabling access to both the camera shutter and audio passthrough mode. In this state:
· The audio masking and camera blocking features are engaged.
· The corner indicator LEDs pulse blue every 10 seconds.
· The camera shutter is disabled. · Audio passthrough mode is disabled. · Adjusting LED brightness is disabled.
To check into a facility, doubleclick the push-to-talk button.
To check out of the facility, again doubleclick the push-to-talk button. Your SafeCase will resume protected mode. The corner indicator LEDs will blink green five times.

Controlling your phone’s cellular radio
Privoro and Samsung have developed a secure, hardware-to-hardware integration that enables you to use your SafeCase to control the cellular radio on your paired Galaxy S22. This feature is designed to prevent any malware on your phone from manipulating radio controls.

To turn off your Galaxy’s cellular radio via SafeCase, press and hold the center button on top of SafeCase for three seconds, until a three-beep audio tone plays.
If successful:
· Your S22 will reboot with the cellular radio turned off. A symbol will appear in place of the cellular signal strength indicator in the top right area of the screen.
· After the S22 and SafeCase re-pair, the corner indicator lights on SafeCase will briefly flash purple after pulsing green, red or blue to indicate the current mode.
Similarly, to turn your Galaxy’s cellular radio back on, press and hold the center button on top of SafeCase for three seconds, until a three-beep audio tone plays.
If successful:
· Your S22 will reboot with the cellular radio turned on. Your cellular signal strength indicator will reappear in the top right area of the screen.
· After the S22 and SafeCase re-pair, the corner indicator lights on SafeCase will no longer briefly flash purple.

CHARGING CABLE

Operating temperature
The SafeCase is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). The SafeCase may be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. SafeCase may be used in tropical climate regions.
SafeCase battery charging may be limited if the interior temperature of the SafeCase exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time).
Radio frequency (RF) interference
Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of electronic devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although SafeCase is designed, tested and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such emissions from SafeCase can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. When use is prohibited, or when asked to do so by authorities, turn off SafeCase to turn off its wireless transmitters.
Using the Galaxy
The SafeCase works with the Galaxy S22. While using SafeCase, follow all of the Galaxy safety and handling instructions, which can be found at https://www.samsung. com/us/business/support/mobile/phones/galaxy-s/
Care and cleaning
Avoid exposing the SafeCase to dirt, debris and acidic substances that might disrupt the ability to raise and lower the base tray. Avoid exposing the SafeCase to moisture or liquid that may impact the SafeCase performance and functionality. If the SafeCase comes in contact with any debris or liquid, immediately clean and dry the SafeCase with a lint-free cloth on exterior surfaces.

Appendix E: Regulatory information

FCC Compliance Statement
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 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.

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.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information
This 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.
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 SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
