Maintaining Dust and Water Resistance
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress
Protection rating system. The device has
been tested in a controlled environment
and shown to be water and dust resistant in
certain circumstances (meets requirements
of classification 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 classification, the device is
not impervious to water damage in any situation.
It is important that all compartments are closed
tightly.
Note: If any liquid is found to have entered
device components or an internally sealed
system, this condition will void your device
warranty.

16

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to
the device.
• Any device which uses accessible
compartments or ports that can be
opened should have these sealed or
closed tightly to prevent liquid from
entering the system.
• Whenever the device gets wet, dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
• 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 the
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 with 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. [022817]

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 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 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 certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certified
18

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:
• https://www.fcc.gov./general/
radio-frequency-safety-0
• www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specificabsorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones
Before a new model device 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
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.
SAR values for body-worn devices are measured
when used with an accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the device a minimum
of x.x cm from the body.
19

The FCC safety limit for body-worn SAR is 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
This device has FCC ID: A3LSMG930US and
[Model Number: SM-G930U]. The FCC ID is
also printed somewhere on the mobile device.
Depending on the device, you may need to
remove the battery to find 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 find SAR values for the device.
SAR information for this device can also be found
on Samsung’s website at: www.samsung.com/sar

boards).
Pursuant to Part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are
cautioned that changes or modifications 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
20

received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note: 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.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.

21

FCC Notice
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.

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 in accordance
with the Department of Defense policy and
the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP).
Changes may affect the performance of locationbased 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.
23

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 locationbased 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
• 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
24

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.

Commercial Mobile Alerting System
(CMAS)
This device is designed to receive wireless
emergency alerts from the Commercial Mobile
Alerting System (“CMAS”; which may also be
known as the Personal Localized Alerting
Network (“PLAN”)). If your wireless provider has
chosen to participate in CMAS/PLAN, alerts are
available while in the provider’s coverage area. If
you travel outside your provider’s coverage area,
wireless emergency alerts may not be available.
For more information, please contact your
wireless provider.

25

Emergency Calls
This 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.
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 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 end the call until given permission to do so.

26

To make an emergency call:
1. If the mobile device is not on, turn it on.
2. Open the phone dialer.
3. Enter the emergency number for your
current location (for example, 911 or other
official emergency number), then tap Call/
Send. Emergency numbers vary by location.

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
27

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. 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.
28

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 M6 or more would indicate
excellent performance.
However, these are not guarantees that all users
will be satisfied. T ratings work similarly.

HAC for Newer Technologies
This device 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
device that have not been tested yet for use with
hearing aids.
It is important to try the different features
of this device 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 device for information on
hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your
service provider or device retailer. [123016]

can significantly affect air flow, may affect the
performance of the device, and poses a possible
risk of fire 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.

Sound and Hearing
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.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your
Mobile Device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to
play with it because they could hurt themselves
and others, damage the device, or make calls
that increase your mobile device bill.
Keep the device and all its parts and accessories
out of the reach of small children. [123016]
