Maintaining water and dust
resistance
The device may be damaged if water or dust enters the device.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device and to
maintain the water- and dust-resistant performance of the device.
• Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it
submerged for more than 30 minutes.
• Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as
ocean waves or waterfalls.
• Do not open the device’s covers when the device is in water or in
very humid places, such as swimming pools or bathrooms.
• Do not open the back cover using wet hands or when the
device is wet.
• The rubber seal fitted to the back cover is an important
component of the device. Take care when opening and closing
the back cover to avoid damaging the rubber seal. Also, ensure
that the rubber seal is free from debris, such as sand or dust to
prevent damage to the device.
• Do not expose the device to salt water, ionised water, or
soapy water.
• The back cover may be loosened if the device is dropped or
receives an impact. Ensure that the back cover is properly
aligned and tightly closed.
• If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone
or the speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly during a
call. Ensure that the microphone or the speaker is clean and dry
by wiping it with a dry cloth.
• If the device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
• The water-resistant design of the device causes it to vibrate
slightly in certain conditions. Vibrations in these conditions, such
as when the volume level is high are normal and do not affect
the device’s performance.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
certification information
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation,
the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level
reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design
and other factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not
represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model phones do not mean variations in
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
This phone has been tested and meets 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.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the
US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people
are concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could
use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away
from the head and body during use, or reduce the amount
of time spent using the device. For more information, visit
www.samsung.com/sar and search for your device with the model
number.

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 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 find 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.
G903W_QSG_ENG.indb 23
9/28/2015 6:11:01 PM
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 find 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 6 or
more would indicate excellent performance.
G903W_QSG_ENG.indb 24
9/28/2015 6:11:01 PM
However, these are not guarantees that all users will be
satisfied. T ratings work similarly.

The HAC rating and measurement procedure are
described in the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) C63.19 standard.
HAC for Newer Technologies
This phone 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 phone that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids.
It is important to try the different features of this phone
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 phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have
questions about return or exchange policies, consult
your service provider or phone retailer.
