19Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification InformationYour 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). 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 GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 19 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
20power 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-telephonesBefore 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 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.GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 20 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
21The FCC safety limit for body-worn SAR is 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).This device has FCC ID: A3LSMG960U and Model Number: SM-G960U1. 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 FCC Part 15 Information and NoticesNote: Any device that uses Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is subject to FCC Part 15. Any device with a power supply is subject to Part 15 which also covers both intentional radiators (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) and unintentional radiators (such as emissions from power supplies and circuit boards).Pursuant to Part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are cautioned that changes or modications not expressly approved by Samsung could void your authority to operate the device. 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.GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 21 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
22Note: 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.

24GPS & AGPSCertain 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 LocationLocation-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, applications providers, Samsung, and other third-parties providing services.GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 24 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
25Use of AGPS in Emergency CallsWhen 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.NavigationMaps, 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.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 GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 25 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
26participate 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 CallsThis 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 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.GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 26 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
27To 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 DevicesThe 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 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. GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 27 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
28If 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.GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 28 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
29Under 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 = 5The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.HAC for Newer TechnologiesThis 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.

30Card Tray Removal ToolCaution! Exercise care when using the card tray removal tool to eject the internal card tray.Device TemperatureCaution! 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. 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.GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 30 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
31Sound and HearingCaution! 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 DeviceYour 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.
