9Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification InformationYour wireless 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 R150_.book Page 9 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
Health and Safety 10Protection 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 RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the R150_.book Page 10 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
11rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). For this device, the FCC safety limit forR150_.book Page 11 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PMextremity SAR is 4.0 W/kg (10g) and head SAR is 1.6 W/kg (1g).
Health and Safety 12 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 certified power level in all tested frequency bands. R150_.book Page 12 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
13 In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the device. Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified R150_.book Page 13 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
Health and Safety 14to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. This device has the following R150_.book Page 14 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
15FCC ID numbers: A3LSMR140R (for the Right ear) and A3LSMR140L (for the Left ear) [Model Number: SM-R140] and the specific SAR levels for this device can be found at the following FCC website:www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website: www.samsung.com/sar SAR information on this and other model devices can be accessed online on the FCC's website through http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/R150_.book Page 15 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM

47•Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by the Bluetooth SIG, may not be compatible with your device.Responsible ListeningCaution! Avoid potential hearing loss.Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played louder and for longer durations. R150_.book Page 47 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
Health and Safety 48Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cell phones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). R150_.book Page 48 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
49Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound produced by a portable audio device 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 R150_.book Page 49 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
Health and Safety 50appropriate for everyone or for every combination of sound, settings, and equipment.You should follow some common sense recommendations when using any portable audio device:• Always turn the volume down before connecting to an audio source.• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.R150_.book Page 50 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
51• Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, not realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to your hearing.• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to. R150_.book Page 51 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
Health and Safety 52• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise. By blocking background environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than when using earbuds.R150_.book Page 52 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
53• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before you hearing could be affected.• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.R150_.book Page 53 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
Health and Safety 54• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.You can obtain additional information on this subject from the following sources:American Academy of AudiologyEmail: infoaud@audiology.orgInternet:www.audiology.org/Pages/default.aspxR150_.book Page 54 Thursday, May 26, 2016 4:37 PM
