Before You Start Exercising
Although the Samsung Health application is a great
companion to your exercise routine, it is always best to
make sure you consult with your physician before
beginning any exercise regimen. 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:
lHeart disease; asthma or lung disease; diabetes,
or liver or kidney disease; arthritis.
Before beginning your exercise regimen check with
your doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of heart,
lung, or other serious disease, such as:
lPain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or
arms during physical activity;
lDizziness or loss of consciousness;
lShortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest,
or when lying down or going to bed;
lAnkle swelling, especially at night;
lA heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced
heartbeat;
lMuscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill
that goes away when you rest.
It is recommended that before engaging in an exercise
routine, you consult with your doctor or medical
practitioner. 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.

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.
Legal 219
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.
lAny 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.
lWhenever 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.
lDo 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.
lWater 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.
Legal 220
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.
lDo not expose the device to water at high
pressure.
lIf the device is dropped or receives an impact, the
water and dust resistant features of the device
may be damaged.
lTo 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 exposure to liquids.
lThe touchscreen and other features may not work
properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your

Maintaining Dust and Water Resistance
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress
Protection rating system. The device has
been tested in a controlled environment
and shown to be water and dust resistant in
certain circumstances (meets requirements
of classication 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 classication, the device is
not impervious to water damage in any situation.
It is important that all compartments are closed
tightly.
GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 15 1/11/2018 12:21:42 PM
16
Note: If any liquid is found to have entered
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 the device gets wet, dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
• 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.
• Do not expose the device to water at high

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). 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
20
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:

• 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 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
21
The 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

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, applications providers, Samsung, and
other third-parties providing services.
GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 24 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM

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.
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
26
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 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
27
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 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
28
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.
GEN_LRA_ACG_TFN_STAR_EN.indd 28 1/11/2018 12:21:43 PM
29
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.
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

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.
