Section 11: Health and Safety InformationThis section outlines the safety precautions associated with 
using your Galaxy Camera. The terms “GALAXY” or “mobile 
device” are used in this section to refer to your Galaxy 
Camera. 
Read this information before using your mobile 
device.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) 
SignalsAlthough GALAXY is not a cell  phone, it can operate on the 
same network as cell phones and can use the same Radio 
Frequency (RF) signals to...

The biological effects of radi
o frequency energy should not 
be confused with the effe cts from other types of 
electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found 
in X-rays and gamma rays, ca n 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...

140Cell Phone Industr y ActionsAlthough the existing scientific data do not justify FDA 
regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry 
to take a number of step s, 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; andCooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current 
information on cell phone use and human health concerns....

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. Ha
nds-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.

Galaxy Camera meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission 
Guidelines. Galaxy Camera has Body SAR levels that do not 
exceed FCC SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg.
SAR values for this camera are measured in reference to 
(hand) extremity and in simul
taneous (multiple) transmitter 
conditions for each frequency band operation this camera 
supports. 
The FCC limit for Hand SAR  is 4.0 W/kg and is measured at 
an average of 10g.
Galaxy Camera has a Hand SAR level that does not exceed...

Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task 
should be performed while driving whether it be eating, 
drinking, talking to passengers, or using a mobile device - 
unless the driver has assessed the driving conditions and is 
confident that the secondary task will not interfere with their 
primary responsibility. 
Do not engage in any activity while 
driving a moving vehicle which  may cause you to take your
