Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits of a Class B digital device.
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
2221
23
24
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/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.
Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) certification
information
Your device conforms to Industry Canada
standards that limit human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and
telecommunications equipment. These standards
prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a
maximum exposure level (known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 4.0 W/kg(10g), 1.6W/kg(1g).
SAR information on this and other model devices can
be accessed online on IC’s website through
ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ceb-bhst.nsf/eng/h_tt00084.
html.
In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much
lower, as the device has been designed to emit
only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal
to the nearest base station. By automatically
emitting lower levels when possible, your device
reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
Industry Canada has granted an IC Certification
Number for this model device based on the
compliance of all reported SAR levels with the IC
RF exposure guidelines.

26
This device has an IC number: 649E-SMR500
[Model Number: SM-R500] and the specific
SAR levels for this device can be found at the
following Industry Canada website: sms-sgs.ic.gc.
ca/equipmentSearch/searchRadioEquipments.
The SAR information for this device can also be
found on Samsung’s website: www.samsung.
com/sar.
IC Notice
