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

Information about the RF exposure from FCC
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both international and U.S. standards. The design of this tablet complies with FCC guidelines and these international standards. Body effects For body operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with any accessory that contains no metal and which provides a minimum separation distance of 15mm between this device and the body of the user. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Class B Compliance under Article 15 of the FCC This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause harmful interference,
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Some content may differ from your device depending on the region, service provider, or software version, and issubject to change without prior notice

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information

Your device conforms to U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment.
These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 W/kg.
In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
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,
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The FCC has granted Equipment Authorization for this model device based on the compliance of all reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. Some devices are required to receive approval from the FCC. If your device required FCC approval, you can view the FCC certification by opening Settings – About phone -> Status. SAR information for this and other devices can be found on the FCC website at: www.fcc.gov/oet/eal.
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: www.samsung.com/sar.

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 the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to 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 Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for wireless devices

• The FCC established requirements for devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other hearing devices.
