Battery charging tips and precautions
If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately
when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes
before turning on the device.
If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to
another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data
transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the
battery.

This feature may not be available depending on the service provider or model.
Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to
enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor
confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where
separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognise them as identical.
If you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be
used to unlock the screen for the first time after turning on the device. To use the
device, you must unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when
registering the fingerprint. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password.
If your fingerprint is not recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN,
or password you set when registering the fingerprint, and then re-register your
fingerprints. If your pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, you will not be able to
use the device if you do not reset it. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss or
inconvenience caused by forgotten unlock codes.
If you change the screen lock method to Swipe or None, which are not secure, all of
your biometric data will be deleted. If you want to use your biometric data in apps or
features, you must register your biometric data again.
For better fingerprint recognition
When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that
may affect the feature’s performance:
•
•

•
The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars.
The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers.
To improve recognition performance, register fingerprints of the hand used most often to
perform tasks on the device.
The Side key has a built-in fingerprint recognition sensor. Ensure that the fingerprint
recognition sensor is not scratched or damaged by metal objects, such as coins, keys, and
necklaces.
Covering the fingerprint recognition sensor with protective films, stickers, or other
accessories may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate. If the fingerprint recognition
sensor is initially covered with a protective film, remove it before using the fingerprint
recognition sensor.

THIS DEVICE MEETS INDIAN GOVERNMENT
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields)
recommended by the Indian Government guidelines.
The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR value under the Indian Government guidelines for this device model is:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded
Head SAR
x.xxx W/kg
During use, the actual SAR value for this device is usually well below the value
stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimise
interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is
automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Organisation such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food and Drug
Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce
their exposure, they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device
away from the head during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the
device.
For more information, visit www.samsung.com/sar and search for your device with
the model number.

This device has FCC ID: A3LSMM625F and Model
Number: SM-M625F/DS. 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.
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.
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 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.
