Section 1: Health and Safety 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.

before using your mobile device

This device is capable of operating in

™

mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz

Wi-Fi
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.

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 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 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 device 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.

This device has a FCC ID number:
A3LSMN910V [Model Number:
SM-N910V] and the specific SAR levels
for this device can be found at the
following FCC website:

SAR information on this and other model
devices can be accessed online on the
FCC's website through
