damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
•
Ensure that the back cover are closed tightly to prevent water and dust entering
the device. Open or loose covers may allow water and dust to enter the device and
cause damage.
2 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
3 After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger
from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.
Do not remove the battery before removing the charger. This may damage the
device.
To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in
use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket
and easily accessible while charging.
Viewing the remaining charging time
While charging, open the Home screen and tap

another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data
transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
•
Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
•
The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the
battery.
•
If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not
function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.
•
While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should not
affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the

FCC Part 15.19 Statements:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Part 15.105 statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
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
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 or 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.
FCC Part 15.21 statement
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone 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 exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel 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 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 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 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 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.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure 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 model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung accessory designated for this
product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions
the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the phone FCC ID number for search,
(
A3LSMG1650 ). Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find
the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular phone. Additional product specific SAR information can also be
obtained at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones
