Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your device may not be possible in some areas or 

circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an 

alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.

Keep your personal and important data safe

While using your device, be sure to back up important data. Samsung is not 

• 

responsible for data loss.
When disposing of your device, back up all data and then reset your device 

• 

to prevent misuse of your personal information.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification 

information

Your device conforms to European Union (EU) 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 2.0 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.834 W/kg. 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.
The Declaration of Conformity statement at the back of this manual 

demonstrates your device’s compliance with the European Radio & Terminal 

Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For more information about 

the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung website.
