Information

This section outlines the safety precautions associated
with using your phone. The terms “mobile device” or
“cell phone” are used in this section to refer to your
phone.

Note:

Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP68 rating,
which tests submersion up to 1.5 meters for up to
30 minutes.

™

This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi
the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The FCC requires that devices
operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used
indoors, not outside, in order to avoid interference with
Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). Therefore, this device is
restricted from being used outdoors when operating in
frequencies between 5.15-5.25 GHz.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information

Your wireless 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.

Health and Safety Information 2

G890A_.book Page 3 Thursday, April 30, 2015 10:59 AM

The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
phones 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 phones 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.

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
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 phone while operating can be well below the
maximum reported value. This is because the phone 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.

Before a new 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 phone are performed in positions and
locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC. For body-worn operation, this
phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains
no metal and that positions the mobile device a
minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. 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.

GPS & AGPS

Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based
applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S.
Government that are subject to changes implemented in
accordance with the Department of Defense policy and
the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes
may affect the performance of location-based
technology on your mobile device.

Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which
obtains information from the cellular network to improve
GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless service
provider's network and therefore airtime, data charges,
and/or additional charges may apply in accordance with
your service plan. Contact your wireless service provider
for details.

Your Location

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.

Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls

When you make an emergency call, the cellular network
may activate AGPS technology in your mobile device to
tell the emergency responders your approximate
location.

Emergency Calls

This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device,
operates using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks, as well as user-programmed functions, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions, areas, or
circumstances.

Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless
mobile device for essential communications (medical
emergencies, for example). Before traveling in remote or
underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of
contacting emergency services personnel. Remember,
to make or receive any calls, the mobile device must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless
mobile device networks or when certain network
services and/or mobile device features are in use. Check
with local service providers. If certain features are in use
(call blocking, for example), you may first need to
deactivate those features before you can make an
emergency call. Consult your User Manual and your local
cellular service provider. When making an emergency

11

G890A_.book Page 12 Thursday, April 30, 2015 10:59 AM

call, remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your mobile
device may be the only means of communication at the
scene of an accident; do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the mobile device is not on, switch it on.

2. Open your phone dialer.

3. Enter the emergency number for your present

location (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number), then tap Call/Send.
Emergency numbers vary by location.

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility
(HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
has established requirements for digital wireless mobile
devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other
assistive hearing devices.

When individuals employing some assistive hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants) use
wireless mobile devices, they may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are
more immune than others to this interference noise, and
mobile devices also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating
system for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing
device users find mobile devices that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have
been rated. Mobile devices that are rated have the rating
on their box or a label located on the box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user's hearing device and hearing
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated mobile

Health and Safety Information 12

G890A_.book Page 13 Thursday, April 30, 2015 10:59 AM

device successfully. Trying out the mobile device with
your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for
your personal needs.

M-Ratings

: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4
meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that
are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings. M-ratings refer to enabling acoustic coupling
with hearing aids that do not operate in telecoil mode.

T-Ratings

: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not
labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-ratings refer to enabling inductive coupling with
hearing aids operating in telecoil mode.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing aid
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help
you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing
device is relatively immune to interference noise.

Under the current industry standard, American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and
wireless mobile device rating values are added together
to indicate how usable they are together. For example, if
a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless
mobile device meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the
two values equals M5.

Under the standard, this should provide the hearing aid
user with normal use while using the hearing aid with
the particular wireless mobile device. A sum of 6 or
more would indicate excellent performance.

However, these are not guarantees that all users will be
satisfied. T ratings work similarly.

13

M3 + M2 = 5

T3 + T2 = 5

G890A_.book Page 14 Thursday, April 30, 2015 10:59 AM

The HAC rating and measurement procedure are
described in the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) C63.19 standard.

HAC for Newer Technologies

This phone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it
uses. However, there may be some newer wireless
technologies used in this phone that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids.

It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing
aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any
interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the
manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing
aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or
exchange policies, consult your service provider or
phone retailer.

The actual available capacity of the internal memory
is less than the specified capacity because the
operating system and default applications occupy
part of the memory. The available capacity may
change when you upgrade the device.

Your phone is designed to make it easy for you
to access a wide variety of content. For your
protection, AT&T wants you to be aware that some
applications that you enable may involve the location
of your phone being shared. For applications
available through AT&T, AT&T offers privacy controls
that let you decide how an application may use the
location of your phone and other phones on your
account. However, AT&T’s privacy tools do not apply
to applications available outside of AT&T. Please
review the terms and conditions and the associated
privacy policy for each location-based service to
learn how location information will be used and
