Health and Safety Information 3
Section 1: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using your device. The
terms “device” or “mobile device” are used in this section to refer to your device.
Read this information before using your mobile device.
Caution!
Exercise care when using the card removal tool to eject an internal card slot.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Although your device is not a cell phone, it can operate on the same network as cell
phones and can use the same Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate with
the network as a cell phone. Therefore, although the following information refers
specifically to RF exposure from wireless phones, it may apply similarly to your
device when it is being used on a cell phone network.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published information for
consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The
FDA publication includes the following information:
Health and Safety Information 5
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause cancer or other
serious health hazards. The weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell phones
with any health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over the past 15 years,
scientists have conducted hundreds of studies looking at the biological effects of the
radio frequency energy emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have
reported biological changes associated with RF energy, these studies have failed to
be replicated. The majority of studies published have failed to show an association
between exposure to radio frequency from a cell phone and health problems.
6
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the microwave frequency
range. They also emit RF at substantially reduced time intervals when in the
stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy should not be confused with the
effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma
rays, can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are
stripped away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can
permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.
Health and Safety Information 7
The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy, including both radio
waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause ionization of atoms and
molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of
non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat), and other forms
of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can increase body
temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the
testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little
blood flow in them to carry away excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between RF and certain
health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition, attempts to
replicate and confirm the few studies that have shown a connection have failed.
8
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community has
supported additional research to address gaps in knowledge. Some of these studies
are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to determine whether cell phones
increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A report published in the International
Journal of Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for more than
5,000 people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar number of
healthy controls.
Health and Safety Information 9
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain cancer. In this
study, most people had no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell phones. For
people with the heaviest use of cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per
day, every day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a slight increase in brain
cancer. However, the authors determined that biases and errors prevented any
conclusions being drawn from this data. Additional information about Interphone
can be found at:
www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not answer all questions
about cell phone safety. Additional research is being conducted around the world,
and the FDA continues to monitor developments in this field.
10
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a large group of
people to determine if there are any health issues linked to long-term exposure to
radio frequency energy from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow
approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 30 years.
Additional information about the COSMOS study can be found at:
www.ukcosmos.org/index.html
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in Childhood
and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship between exposure
to radio frequency energy from communication technologies including cell phones
and brain cancer in young people. This is an international multi-center study
Health and Safety Information 11
involving 14 European and non-European countries. Additional information about
MOBI-KIDS can be found at:
www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/view.php?ID=39
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the
National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the United
States to detect any change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones
play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phone use
has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 and 2005, the
overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase. Additional
information about SEER can be found at:
http://seer.cancer.gov/
12
Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA
has urged the cell phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
•
Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of signal emitted
by cell phones;
•
Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user; and
•
Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell phone use
and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety
standards continue to adequately protect the public.
Health and Safety Information 13
Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF) from cell phones
- and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probably very small. But, if you
are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps
to minimize your RF exposure.
•
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head and the cell
phone.
14
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth
®
headsets and various types of
body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these can
be used to reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone is held away from
the head in the user's hand or in approved body-worn accessories. Cell phones
marketed in the U.S. are required to meet RF exposure compliance requirements
when used against the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones,
there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can
be used for convenience and comfort. They are also required by law in many states
if you want to use your phone while driving.
Health and Safety Information 15
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones,
there is no reason to believe that accessories which claim to shield the head from
those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a
metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits, these so-called
“shields” may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be
forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF
exposure, including children and teenagers. The steps adults can take to reduce RF
exposure apply to children and teenagers as well.
16
•
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the head and the cell
phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children
be discouraged from using cell phones at all. For example, The Stewart Report from
the United Kingdom made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this
report, a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a
cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit
cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists.
Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from various sources can be
obtained from the following organizations [updated 01/30/2016]:

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification
Information
Your wireless mobile 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.
Health and Safety Information 19
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 requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit
of 1.6 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.
20
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the mobile 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 mobile device while operating can be well below
the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile 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 mobile device.
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 mobile device are performed in positions and locations (e.g.
near the body) as required by the FCC.
Health and Safety Information 21
For typical operations, this mobile device has been tested and meets FCC SAR
guidelines.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
This device has a FCC ID number: A3LSMW700 [Model Number: SM-W700] and the
specific SAR levels for this device can be found at the following FCC website:
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
.
22
The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website:
www.samsung.com/sar
SAR information on this and other model mobile devices can be accessed online on
the FCC's website through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html
. To find information that pertains to a
particular model mobile device, this site uses the mobile device FCC ID number,
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the mobile device.
Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular mobile device, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular mobile device. Additional SAR information can also be obtained at
www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones

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 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 third-parties providing services.
Health and Safety Information 41
Emergency Communication
Your mobile device should not be relied upon for essential communications (medical
emergencies, calls to 911, or communications to emergency services). Your mobile
device is not designed or intended to be used for such communications. Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VOIP) services which may be used on your mobile device to make
calls do not support 911 calls and are only intended for talking with friends.
Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation-data, including data relating to your current
location, may contain inaccurate or incomplete data, and circumstances can and do
change over time. In some areas, complete information may not be available.
Therefore,
you should always visually confirm that the navigational instructions are
42
consistent with what you see before following them. 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
.
Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty
obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years:
Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals
that will corrode electronic circuits.
Health and Safety Information 43
If the mobile device does get wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an
oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may damage the mobile device and
could cause a fire or explosion. Do not use the mobile device with a wet hand.
Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven. Doing so may cause a
fire or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.
44
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
mobile device. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild
soap-and-water solution. If the mobile device has a retractable camera lens, do
not use soap and water to clean the lens. Use a blower or brush or lens cleaning
paper dampened in a lens cleaning solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts or
ventilation openings and prevent proper operation.
Health and Safety Information 45
Responsible Listening
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss
.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds over time. The
risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played louder and for longer durations.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable
audio devices, such as portable music players and mobile devices, at high volume
settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This
includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth
®
or
other wireless devices).
46
Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus
(a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential hearing problem varies.
Additionally, the amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the headphones that
are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for
everyone or for every combination of sound, settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense recommendations when using any portable
audio device:
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio source.
•
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear
adequately.
Health and Safety Information 47
•
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, not realizing that the
higher volume may be harmful to your hearing.
•
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking
near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
•
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise. By blocking background environment noise, noise
cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than when
using earbuds.
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before
you hearing could be affected.
48
•
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts,
that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
•
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your
ears, hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to
your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
