Before You Start Exercising
This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While
moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, is
safe for most people, health experts suggest that
you talk with your doctor before you start an exercise
program, particularly if you have any of the following
conditions:
• Heart disease;
• Asthma or lung disease;
• Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;
• Arthritis.
113Apps
You should also check with your doctor if you have
symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious
disease, such as:
• Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms
during physical activity;
• Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or
when lying down or going to bed;
• Ankle swelling, especially at night;
• A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;
• Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that
goes away when you rest.
Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine
recommends that you see your doctor before engaging
in vigorous exercise if two or more of the following
apply:
• You are a man older than age 45 or a woman older
than age 55;
• You have a family history of heart disease before
age 55;
• You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;
• You have not exercised for three months or more;
• You are overweight or obese;
• You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol;
• You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called
prediabetes.
When in Doubt — Check It Out
If you are unsure of your health status, have several
health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak
with your doctor before starting a new exercise
program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is a
good way to plan an exercise program that is right and
safe for you. Consider it the first step on your path to
physical fitness.

Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
CAUTION! To avoid electric shock and damage to your
device, do not charge device while it is wet or in an area
where it could get wet. Do not handle device, charger or
cords with wet hands while charging.
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection
rating system.
Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust resistant
in certain circumstances (meets requirements of
classification IP68 as described by the international
standard IEC 60529 – Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C,
86-106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30 minutes). Despite this
classification, your device is not impervious to water
damage in any situation. It is important that all
compartments are closed tightly.
203Legal
Note: If any liquid is found to have entered your device
components or an internally sealed system, this
condition will void your device warranty.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.
• Any device which uses accessible compartments
or ports that can be opened, should have these
sealed or closed tightly to prevent liquid from
entering the system.
• Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth. If your device has gotten
wet, you should dry the inside of the charging port
before inserting a power connector to charge your
device. If the charging port is not fully dry, your
device may operate abnormally. For example, it may
charge more slowly or overheat.
• Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized
water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than
30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh water,
dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh
water, rinse the device with fresh water immediately
and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it
as instructed may cause the device to suffer from
operability or cosmetic issues.
• Water resistant based on IP68 rating, which tests
submersion in fresh water up to 5 feet for up to 30
minutes. If Device is exposed to fresh water, dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth; if exposed to
liquid other than fresh water, rinse with fresh water
and dry as directed.
Warning! Liquid other than fresh water may enter the
device faster. Failure to rinse the device in fresh water
and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer
from operability or cosmetic issues.
204Legal
• Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.
• If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the
water and dust resistant features of the device
may be damaged.
• To maintain the water-resistant and dust-resistant
features of your device, if an S Pen is available
for use, verify it is securely inserted prior to any

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification
Information
Your 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 scientic and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government,
and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic
literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specic 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).
20
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 device
transmitting at its highest certied power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level
of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum reported value. This is because the device 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.
For more information about SAR, visit:
• https://www.fcc.gov./general/radio-frequency-safety-0
• www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/
specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones
Before a new model device is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC that it
does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC.
Tests for each model are performed in positions and
locations (for example, at the ear, worn on the body, or
worn on the wrist) as required by the FCC. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
For typical operation, this device has been tested and
21
meets FCC SAR guidelines. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
SAR values for body-worn operations are measured when
used with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
The FCC safety limit for body-worn SAR is 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
This device has FCC ID: A3LSMG892U and
[Model Number: SM-G892U]. The FCC ID is also printed
somewhere on the mobile device. Depending on the
device, you may need to remove the battery to nd the
FCC ID.
SAR information for this and other devices can be found
on the FCC website at: www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
Follow the instructions on the website to use the FCC ID
to nd SAR values for the device.
SAR information for this device can also be found on
Samsung’s website at: www.samsung.com/sar

25
GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung Mobile Devices can use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based
applications. 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,
26
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.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area.
Therefore:
• Always tell the emergency responder your
location to the best of your ability; and
• Remain on the mobile device for as long as the
emergency responder instructs you.
Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation data, including
data relating to your current location, may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data, and circumstances can
and do change over time. In some areas, complete
information may not be available. Therefore, you should
always visually confirm that the navigational instructions
are consistent with what you see before following
them. All users should pay attention to road conditions,
closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact safe
driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs.
27
Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS)
This device is designed to receive wireless emergency
alerts from the Commercial Mobile Alerting System
(“CMAS”; which may also be known as the Personal
Localized Alerting Network (“PLAN”)). If your wireless
provider has chosen to participate in CMAS/PLAN,
alerts are available while in the provider’s coverage
area. If you travel outside your provider’s coverage area,
wireless emergency alerts may not be available. For more
information, please contact your wireless provider.
Emergency Calls
This 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
28
blocking, for example), you may rst 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 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 end the call until given permission to do
so.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the mobile device is not on, turn it on.
2. Open the phone dialer.
3. Enter the emergency number for your current
location (for example, 911 or other ofcial
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
29
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 nd 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
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 nd 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 M6 or more
would indicate excellent performance.
However, these are not guarantees that all users will be
satised. T-ratings work similarly.
M3 + M2 = 5 T3 + T2 = 5
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are
described in the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) C63.19 standard.

HAC for Newer Technologies
This device 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 device that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids.
It is important to try the different features of this device
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 device for information on hearing
aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or
exchange policies, consult your service provider or device
retailer.
Card Tray Removal Tool
Caution! Exercise care when using the card tray
removal tool to eject the internal card tray.
Device Temperature
Caution! Some applications or prolonged usage may
increase device temperature. Prolonged skin contact
with a device that is hot to the touch may produce
skin discomfort or redness, or low temperature
burns. If the device feels hot to the touch, discontinue
use and close all applications or turn off the device
until it cools.
32
Always ensure that the device has adequate ventilation
and air ow. Covering the device can signicantly affect
air ow, may affect the performance of the device, and
poses a possible risk of re or explosion, which could
lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property.
Covering the device can trap any dissipating heat and
redirect it back to the device while it’s active. Although
the device might not currently be in full use, background
applications and functions can generate heat that can
accidentally be trapped when covered.
Sound and Hearing
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss by not exposing
yourself to loud sounds for a prolonged period of time.
The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played
louder and for longer durations. The amount of
sound produced by a portable audio device (including
headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices) varies depending on the nature of the
sound, the device settings, and the headphones
that are used. As a result, there is no single volume
setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every
combination of sound, settings and equipment.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Mobile
Device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play
with it because they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the device, or make calls that increase your
mobile device bill.
Keep the device and all its parts and accessories out of
the reach of small children.
