Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
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 classication
30
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,
your device is not impervious to water
damage in any situation. It is important that
all compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent
damage to the device.
Whenever your device gets wet, dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
31
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.
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.
The touchscreen and other features
may not work properly if the device is
used in water or in other liquids.
32
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
33
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 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:

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 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.
The extremity SAR (wrist SAR) has been
35
used for non-speaker modes at a 0 cm
device distance from the body when
worn in contact with the wrist.
The FCC safety limit for extremity SAR is
4.0 W/ kg (10g).
This device has FCC ID: A3LSMR365 and
Model Number: SM-R365. 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
36
be found on Samsung’s website at: www.

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
69
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
70
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.
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
71
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.
72
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
73
trapped when covered.
Responsible Listening
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.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
(including music) is the most common cause
of preventable hearing loss. Some scientic
research suggests that using portable audio
devices, such as portable music players and
74
mobile devices, 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).
Exposure 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.
75
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 appropriate for everyone or
for every combination of sound, settings,
and equipment.
Here are some common recommendations
when using your mobile device:
Use of headphones or earbuds
while driving may be prohibited or
restricted in your area; check local
laws and regulations.
5 turn the volume down before
plugging the earphones into a device.
Set the volume in a quiet
environment and select the lowest
volume at which you can hear
adequately.
76
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.
Do not turn the volume up to block
out noisy surroundings. If you choose
to listen to your device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling
headphones to block out background
noise. By blocking background noise,
noise-cancelling headphones should
allow you to hear the music at lower
volumes than when using earbuds.
77
Limit the amount of time you listen.
As the volume increases, less time is
required before your 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.
Do not listen at any volume that
causes you discomfort. If you
experience ringing in your ears,
if speech sounds muffled, or
experience any temporary hearing
difficulty after listening to your
portable audio device, discontinue
use and consult your doctor.
