Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications
technology capable of exchanging information over
a distance of about 10 m without requiring a physical
connection.

You do not need to line up the devices to beam information
with Bluetooth. If the devices are within range of one another,
you can exchange information between them even if they are
located in different rooms.

●

Samsung is not responsible for the loss, interception,
or misuse of data sent or received via the Bluetooth
wireless feature.

●

Always ensure that you share and receive data with
devices that are trusted and properly secured. If there
are obstacles between the devices, the operating
distance may be reduced.

●

Some devices, especially those that are not tested
or approved by Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible
with your device.

from the recommendations of two expert organizations,
the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of El
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the

engineering experts drawn from industry, government,

The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
devices employs a unit of measurement known as the

the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC

ectrical

requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure
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 recommended operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the device

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined

of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum 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
