Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your mobile is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are: SAR values for European countries: The SAR values below are only for devices developed for use in European countries. Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded Head SAR X.XXX W/kg Body-worn SAR X.XXX W/kg

Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 0.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body.

For SAR values for all other countries:
For SAR values specific to your model, visit www.samsung.com/sar and search for your region and device with the model number.

The use of WLAN band is restricted to indoor use only. This restriction will be applied in all countries below.

If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold the Side key and the Volume Down key simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it.

For information on Samsung’s environmental commitments and product-specific regulatory obligations, e.g. REACH, WEEE, Batteries, visit samsung.com/uk/aboutsamsung/samsungelectronics/corporatecitizenship/data_corner.html
It is recommended not to use fixed graphics on part or all of the touchscreen for extended periods. Doing so may result in afterimages (screen burn-in) or ghosting.

| To prevent possible hearing damage when using a headset, do not listen to sound at high volume for long periods.

Declaration of Conformity

Samsung declares that this device complies with the essential requirements and relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU. Go to www.samsung.com/mobile_doc to view the Declaration of Conformity.

Some content may differ from your device depending on the region, service provider, or software version, and is subject to change without prior notice.

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). 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.

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. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum reported value. 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:

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.

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.

For typical operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

SAR values for body-worn operations are measured when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
The FCC safety limit for body-worn SAR is 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).

This device has FCC ID: A3LSMN986B and Model Number: SM-N986B/DS. 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.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).

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.

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.
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.
