following:
•
Charge the battery or replace it with a battery that is fully charged.
•
Free some memory by transferring files to a computer or deleting files from your device.
•
Restart the device. If you are still having trouble with the camera application after trying
these tips, contact a Samsung Service Centre.
Error messages appear when opening music files
Some music files may not play on your Samsung device for a variety of reasons. If you receive
error messages when opening music files on your device, try the following:
•
Free some memory by transferring files to a computer or deleting files from your device.
•
Ensure that the music file is not Digital Rights Management (DRM)-protected. If the file is
DRM-protected, ensure that you have the appropriate licence or key to play the file.
•
Ensure that your device supports the file type.
Another Bluetooth device is not located

Bluetooth range (10 m).
If the tips above do not solve the problem, contact a Samsung Service Centre.
Troubleshooting
109
A connection is not established when you connect the device to a
computer
•
Ensure that the USB cable you are using is compatible with your device.
•
Ensure that you have the proper drivers installed and updated on your computer.
•
If you are a Windows XP user, ensure that you have Windows XP Service Pack 3 or higher
installed on your computer.
•
Ensure that you have Samsung Kies 2.0 or Windows Media Player 10 or higher installed
on your computer.
A small gap appears around the outside of the device case
•
This gap is a necessary manufacturing feature and some minor rocking or vibration of
parts may occur.
•
Over time, friction between parts may cause this gap to expand slightly.
Health and Safety
111
•
Avoid exposing the device to high external pressure, which can lead to an internal short
circuit and overheating.
Protect the device, battery and charger from damage
•
Avoid exposing your device and battery to very cold or very hot temperatures.
•
Extreme temperatures can damage the device and reduce the charging capacity and life
of your device and battery.
•
Prevent the battery from coming into contact with metal objects, as this can create a
connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or
permanent battery damage.
•
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Do not store your device near or in heaters, microwaves, hot cooking equipment, or
high pressure containers
•
The battery may leak.
•
Your device may overheat and cause a fire.
Do not use or store your device in areas with high concentrations of dust or airborne
materials
•
Dust or foreign materials can cause your device to malfunction and may result in fire or
electric shock.
Do not bite or suck the device or the battery
•
Doing so may damage the device or result in an explosion or fire.
•
Children or animals can choke on small parts.
•
If children use the device, make sure that they use the device properly.
Do not insert the device or supplied accessories into the eyes, ears, or mouth
•
Doing so may cause suffocation or serious injuries.
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery
•
For safe disposal of your Li-Ion battery, contact your nearest authorized service centre.
Health and Safety
113
•
Do not use your device at refuelling points (petrol stations), near fuels or chemicals, or in
blasting areas.
•
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.
If you notice strange smells or sounds coming from your device or the battery, or if
you see smoke or liquids leaking from the device or battery, stop using the device
immediately and take it to a Samsung Service Centre
•
Failure to do so may result in fire or explosion.
Comply with all safety warnings and regulations regarding mobile device usage while
operating a vehicle
•
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use your
mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and the safety of
others, use your common sense and remember the following tips:
•
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and redial.
These features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive calls on your mobile
device.
•
Position your device within easy reach. Make sure you can access your wireless device
without taking your eyes off the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, let your voicemail answer it for you.
•
Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of
driving safely.
•
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
the person you are talking to aware that you are driving and suspend conversations that
could potentially divert your attention from the road.
Health and Safety
114
Care for and use your mobile device properly
Keep your device dry
•
Humidity and liquids may damage the parts or electronic circuits in your device.
•
Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on, turn it off and remove
the battery immediately (if the device will not turn off or you cannot remove the battery,
leave it as-is). Then, dry the device with a towel and take it to a service centre.
•
Liquids will change the colour of the label that indicates water damage inside the device.
Water damage to your device can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Store your device only on flat surfaces
•
If your device falls, it may be damaged.
Do not store your device in very hot or very cold areas. It is recommended to use your
device at temperatures from 5 °C to 35 °C
•
Do not store your device in very hot areas such as inside a car in the summertime. Doing
so may cause the screen to malfunction, result in damage to the device, or cause the
battery to explode.
•
Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (on the
dashboard of a car, for example).
•
Store the battery at temperatures from 0 °C to 45 °C.
Do not store your device with metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces
•
Your device may be scratched or may malfunction.
•
If the battery terminals come into contact with metal objects, this may cause a fire.
Do not store your device near magnetic fields
•
Your device may malfunction or the battery may discharge from exposure to magnetic
fields.
•
Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, and boarding
passes, may be damaged by magnetic fields.
Do not use your device or applications for a while if the device is overheated
•
Prolonged exposure of your skin to an overheated device may cause low temperature
burn symptoms, such as red spots and pigmentation.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Devices
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user
of a wireless device.
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the device emits. All devices are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device 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, design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs
do not represent a variation in safety.
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety.
As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model devices 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.
The highest reported SAR value for the SM-T210 is:
Body: ?? W/kg
This device 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 0 cm from the
body.
Owner’s Record
