Battery charging tips and precautions

When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

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.

If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not

function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should not

affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the

charger may stop charging. If this occurs during wireless charging, disconnect the device

from the charger to let it cool down, then charge the device again later.

If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be damaged.

Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.

If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung

Service Centre.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

certification information

Your device conforms to U.S. Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF)

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.

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.

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, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model

device based on the compliance of all reported SAR levels with the

FCC RF exposure guidelines. Some devices are required to receive

approval from the FCC. If your device required FCC approval, you

can view the FCC certification by opening Settings

About phone

Status.

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: www.samsung.com/sar.

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.
