Acknowledging Special Precautions and ISED (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) Notice Cautions Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved by Samsung could void your warranty for this equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas, and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone. Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it. Information to User This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device. 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/reloca te the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment to 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. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information Your device conforms to ISED (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) standards that limit human exposure to RF (radio frequency) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 W/kg (head and trunk) and 4.0 W/kg (limbs). More SAR information can be accessed online on ISED’s website ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ ceb-bhst.nsf/eng/h_tt00084.html. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy. Depending on the region or model, some devices are required to receive approval from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)/the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). If your device is approved by ISED/FCC, you can view the ISED/FCC ID of t…
