Exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
published information for consumers relating to
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from wireless
phones. The FDA publication includes the
following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone
radiation will cause cancer or other serious
health hazards. The weight of scientific evidence
has not linked cell phones with any health
problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency
(RF) energy. Over the past 15 years, scientists
have conducted hundreds of studies looking at
the biological effects of the radio frequency
energy emitted by cell phones. While some
researchers have reported biological changes
associated with RF energy, these studies have
failed to be replicated. The majority of studies
published have failed to show an association
between exposure to radio frequency from a cell
phone and health problems.
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in
use are in the microwave frequency range. They
also emit RF at substantially reduced time
intervals when in the stand-by mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy
should not be confused with the effects from
other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such
as is found in X-rays and gamma rays, can ionize
biological tissues. Ionization is a process where
electrons are stripped away from their normal
locations in atoms and molecules. It can
permanently damage biological tissues including
DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio
frequency energy, including both radio waves
and microwaves, are not great enough to cause
ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, RF
energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other
types of non-ionizing radiation include visible
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
Health and Safety Information 31
light, infrared radiation (heat), and other forms of
electromagnetic radiation with relatively low
frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large
amounts can increase body temperatures and
cause tissue damage. Two areas of the body, the
eyes and the testes, are particularly vulnerable to
RF heating because there is relatively little blood
flow in them to carry away excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a
connection between RF and certain health
problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date
say no. In addition, attempts to replicate and
confirm the few studies that have shown a
connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore
believes that the weight of scientific evidence
does not show an association between exposure
to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones and
adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific
community has supported additional research to
address gaps in knowledge. Some of these
studies are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study
designed to determine whether cell phones
increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A
report published in the International Journal of
Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell phone
usage for more than 5,000 people with brain
tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar
number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell
phones caused brain cancer. In this study, most
people had no increased risk of brain cancer
from using cell phones. For people with the
heaviest use of cell phones (an average of more
than ½ hour per day, every day, for over 10
years) the study suggested a slight increase in
brain cancer. However, the authors determined
that biases and errors prevented any conclusions
being drawn from this data. Additional
information about Interphone can be found at
http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/
pr200_E.pdf.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to
date, but it did not answer all questions about
cell phone safety. Additional research is being
conducted around the world, and the FDA
continues to monitor developments in this field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone
Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term
health monitoring of a large group of people to
determine if there are any health issues linked to
long-term exposure to radio frequency energy
from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will
follow approximately 300,000 adult cell phone
users in Europe for 20 to 30 years. Additional

Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio
Frequency Fields in Childhood and
Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating
the relationship between exposure to radio
frequency energy from communication
technologies including cell phones and brain
cancer in young people. This is an international
multi-center study involving 14 European and
non-European countries. Additional information
about MOBI-KIDS can be found at
http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/
en_projectes-creal/view.php?ID=39.
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End
Results (SEER) Program of the National
Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively
follows cancer statistics in the United States to
detect any change in rates of new cases for
brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for
brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy
cell phone use has been common for quite some
time in the U.S. Between 1987 and 2005, the
overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer
did not increase. Additional information about
SEER can be found at
http://seer.cancer.gov/
.
Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify
FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the
cell phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
•
Support-needed research on possible biological
effects of RF for the type of signal emitted by cell
phones;
•
Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any
RF exposure to the user; and
•
Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with
the current information on cell phone use and
human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-
setting bodies such as the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to
assure that safety standards continue to
adequately protect the public.
Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits
and Other Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio
Frequency Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio
frequency energy (RF) from cell phones - and at
this point we do not know that there is - it is
probably very small. But, if you are concerned
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
Health and Safety Information 33
about avoiding even potential risks, you can take
a few simple steps to minimize your RF
exposure.
•
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell
phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more
distance between your head and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth®
headsets and various types of body-worn
accessories such as belt-clips and holsters.
Combinations of these can be used to reduce RF
energy absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure
because the phone is held away from the head in
the user's hand or in approved body-worn
accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S.
are required to meet RF exposure compliance
requirements when used against the head and
against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure
to RF emissions from cell phones, there is no
reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce
risks. Hands-free kits can be used for
convenience and comfort. They are also required
by law in many states if you want to use your
phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield
the Head from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure
to RF emissions from cell phones, there is no
reason to believe that accessories which claim to
shield the head from those emissions reduce
risks. Some products that claim to shield the
user from RF absorption use special phone
cases, while others involve nothing more than a
metallic accessory attached to the phone.
Studies have shown that these products
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike
“hands-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may
interfere with proper operation of the phone. The
phone may be forced to boost its power to
compensate, leading to an increase in RF
absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger
to any users of cell phones from RF exposure,
including children and teenagers. The steps
adults can take to reduce RF exposure apply to
children and teenagers as well.
•
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more
distance between the head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using cell phones at all. For
example, The Stewart Report from the United
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
34
Kingdom made such a recommendation in
December 2000. In this report, a group of
independent experts noted that no evidence
exists that using a cell phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation
to limit cell phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists.

exposures from various sources can be obtained

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information
Your wireless phone 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 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 phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of
RF energy by the human body expressed in units
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
Health and Safety Information 35
of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a 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
phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum
reported value. This is because the phone 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 phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified 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. For body-worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.5
cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values
for this model phone as reported to the FCC are:
• Head: 0.69 W/kg.
• Body-worn: 1.01 W/kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones
can be accessed online on the FCC's website
through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html
.
To find information that pertains to a particular
model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID
number which is usually printed somewhere on
the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack to find the
number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a
particular phone, follow the instructions on the
website and it should provide values for typical
or maximum SAR for a particular phone.

Battery Use and Safety
Important! Handle and store batteries properly to
avoid injury or damage
. Most battery
issues arise from improper handling of
batteries and, particularly, from the
continued use of damaged batteries.
•
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or
otherwise attempt to change the form of your
battery
. Do not put a high degree of pressure on the
battery. This can cause leakage or an internal
short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
•
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact
with liquids.
Liquids can get into the phone's
circuits, leading to corrosion. Even when the phone
appears to be dry and appears to operate normally,
the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety
hazard. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have
them checked by your service provider or contact
Samsung, even if they appear to be working
properly.
•
Do not place your battery in or near a heat
source
. Excessive heating can damage the phone
or the battery and could cause the phone or the
battery to explode. Do not dry a wet or damp battery
with an appliance or heat source such as a

GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a
Global Positioning System (GPS) signal for
location-based applications. A 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
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
42
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
•
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. T
herefore, 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
.
Emergency Calls
This mobile 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.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the mobile device is not on, switch it on.
2. From the Home screen, touch
Phone
.
3. Touch the digits of the emergency number
on the Keypad, then touch .
If certain features are in use (call blocking, for
example), you may first need to deactivate those
features before you can make an emergency
call. Consult your User Manual and your local

Health and Safety Information 43
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 cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device is a product of superior
design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you
fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to
enjoy this product for many years:
Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation,
humidity, and liquids contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile
device does get wet, do not accelerate drying
with the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer,
because this may damage the mobile device
and could cause a fire or explosion.
Do not use the mobile device with a wet
hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock
to you or damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or
above 45°C / 113°F.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a
microwave oven. Doing so may cause a fire
or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust,
dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
mobile device. Wipe it with a soft cloth
slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile
device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog
the device’s moving parts or ventilation
openings and prevent proper operation.
Responsible Listening
Caution! 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. Prolonged exposure to
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
44
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). 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. 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.
You should follow some common sense
recommendations when using any portable
audio device:
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the
earphones into an audio source.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.

Posted Facilities
Switch your mobile device off in any facility
where posted notices require you to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your mobile device off when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey
all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. Users are advised to
switch the mobile device off while at a refueling
point (service station).
Users 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 liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
DRAFT - Internal Use Only

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 find 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. 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 find this rating. Higher ratings
mean that the hearing device is relatively
immune to interference noise.
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
48
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.
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 6 or more would indicate
excellent performance.
However, these are not guarantees that all users
will be satisfied. T ratings work similarly.
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are
described in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
HAC for Newer Technologies
This phone 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
phone that have not been tested yet for use with
hearing aids.
It is important to try the different features of this
phone 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 phone for information on
hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your
service provider or phone retailer.
Restricting Children's Access
to Your Mobile Device
Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with it because they could hurt
themselves and others, damage the mobile
device, or make calls that increase your mobile
device bill.
Keep the mobile device and all its parts and
accessories out of the reach of small children.

DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO
EVENT SHALL SAMSUNG BE LIABLE FOR
DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE PURCHASE PRICE

LIMITATION, COMMERCIAL LOSS OF ANY SORT;
LOSS OF USE, TIME, DATA, REPUTATION,
OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, PROFITS OR
SAVINGS; INCONVENIENCE; INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE

USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT. SOME
STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE DISCLAIMER OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND
DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
SAMSUNG MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE

What is the procedure for resolving disputes?
ALL DISPUTES WITH SAMSUNG ARISING IN ANY
WAY FROM THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE
SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE
PRODUCTS SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY
THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION,
AND NOT BY A COURT OR JURY.
Any such dispute shall not be combined or
consolidated with a dispute involving any other
person’s or entity’s Product or claim, and
specifically, without limitation of the foregoing,
shall not under any circumstances proceed as
part of a class action. The arbitration shall be
DRAFT - Internal Use Only
54
conducted before a single arbitrator, whose
award may not exceed, in form or amount, the
relief allowed by the applicable law. The
arbitration shall be conducted according to the
American Arbitration Association (AAA)
Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to
consumer disputes. This arbitration provision is
entered pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.
The laws of the State of Texas, without reference
to its choice of laws principles, shall govern the
interpretation of the Limited Warranty and all
disputes that are subject to this arbitration
provision. The arbitrator shall decide all issues of
interpretation and application of this arbitration
provision and the Limited Warranty.
For any arbitration in which your total damage
claims, exclusive of attorney fees and expert
witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less (“Small
Claim”), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award
your reasonable attorney fees, expert witness
fees and costs as part of any award, but may not
grant SAMSUNG its attorney fees, expert witness
fees or costs unless it is determined that the
claim was brought in bad faith. In a Small Claim
case, you shall be required to pay no more than
half of the total administrative, facility and
arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of such fees,
whichever is less, and SAMSUNG shall pay the
remainder of such fees. Administrative, facility
and arbitrator fees for arbitrations in which your
total damage claims, exclusive of attorney fees
and expert witness fees, exceed $5,000.00
(“Large Claim”) shall be determined according to
AAA rules. In a Large Claim case, the arbitrator
may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion
among the parties, reasonable attorney fees,
expert witness fees and costs. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
This arbitration provision also applies to claims
against SAMSUNG’s employees, representatives
and affiliates if any such claim arises from the
Product’s sale, condition or performance.
You may opt out of this dispute resolution
procedure by providing notice to SAMSUNG no
later than 30 calendar days from the date of the
first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the
Product. To opt out, you must send notice by
e-mail to optout@sta.samsung.com, with the
subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out.” You must
include in the opt out e-mail (a) your name and
address; (b) the date on which the Product was
purchased; (c) the Product model name or model
number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial
Number, as applicable, if you have it (the IMEI or
MEID or Serial Number can be found (i) on the
Product box; (ii) on the Product information
screen, which can be found under “Settings;”
(iii) on a label on the back of the Product beneath
the battery, if the battery is removable; and (iv) on
the outside of the Product if the battery is not
removable). Alternatively, you may opt out by

calling 1-888-987-4357 no later than 30 calendar
days from the date of the first consumer
purchaser’s purchase of the Product and providing

forms of notice that will be effective to opt out of
this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of
this dispute resolution procedure will not affect
the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way,
and you will continue to enjoy the benefits of the
Limited Warranty.
Severability
If any portion of this Limited Warranty is held to
be illegal or unenforceable, such partial illegality
or unenforceability shall not affect the
enforceability of the remainder of the Limited
Warranty.

If data stored on this device is deleted or
reformatted using the standard methods, the
data only appears to be removed on a superficial
level, and it may be possible for someone to
