Information
This section outlines important safety precautions
associated with using your device. The terms “device” or
“mobile device” or “cell phone” are used in this section to
refer to your device.
For specic provisions or legal information relating to
your device, please refer to the printed Terms & Conditions
included with your device, or visit and
use the model number to locate the product support page.
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.
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.
17
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 Electronic Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed by scientic and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government,
and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic
literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic
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 requires
wireless devices to comply with safety limit of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 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 certied power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level
of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum reported value.
18
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.
Before a new model device is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC that it
does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC.
Tests for each model phone 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 a FCC ID number: A3LSMT378V[Model
Number: SM-T378V] and the specic SAR levels for this
device can be found at the following FCC website:
The SAR information for this device can also be found on
Samsung’s website:
SAR information on this and other model devices can be
accessed online on the FCC’s website through:
19
To nd information that pertains to a particular model
mobile device on this site, use the mobile device’s FCC
ID number, which is usually printed somewhere on the
mobile device. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove
the battery pack to nd the number.
Once you have the FCC ID number for your particular
device, follow the instructions on the website to view
values for either the typical or maximum SAR for that
particular device. Additional SAR information can also
be obtained at:
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 modications 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,
20
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
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. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
21
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
The device may cause TV or radio interference if used
in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC
can require you to stop using the mobile device if such
interference cannot be eliminated.

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.
23
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.
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.

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 signicantly 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.
25
Responsible Listening
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 scientic research suggests that using portable
audio devices, such as portable music players and 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
26
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 appropriate for
everyone or for every combination of sound, settings, and
equipment.
Here are some common recommendations when using
your device:
• Use of headphones or earbuds while driving may
be prohibited or restricted in your area; check local
laws and regulations.
• Always 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.
• 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.
27
• 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.
• 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.

station).
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage
and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liqueed
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles using liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane

minimize the risk of electrostatic discharge from
the headset avoid using the headset in extremely
dry environments or touch a grounded unpainted
metal object to discharge static electricity before
inserting the headset.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same compartment as
the device, its parts, or accessories.
• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember
that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not
place objects, including installed or portable
wireless equipment near or in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
