Section 10: Health and Safety Information
This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi™ mode in the 
2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The FCC requires that devices 
operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used indoors, 
not outside, in order to avoi d interference with Mobile 
Satellite Services (MSS). Therefore, this device is restricted 
from being used outdoors when operating in frequencies 
between 5.15-5.25 GHz.
This section outlines the safety  precautions associated with 
using your phone. The terms “mob ile device” or “cell phone” 
are used in this section to refer to your phone.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) 
Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Admin istration (FDA) has published 
information for consumers relati ng to Radio Frequency (RF) 
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication 
includes the following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will 
cause cancer or other serious he alth hazards. The weight of 
scientific evidence has not linked  cell phones with any health 
problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. 
Over the past 15 years, scientists have conducted hundreds 
of studies looking at the biol ogical effects of the radio 
frequency energy emitted by cell phones. While some 
researchers have reported biological changes associated 
with RF energy, these studies have failed to be replicated. 
The majority of studies published have failed to show an 
association between exposure to radio frequency from a cell 
phone and health problems.
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the 
microwave frequency range.  They also emit RF at 
substantially reduced time intervals when in the stand-by 
mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects 
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not 
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health 
effects. 
						

							Health and Safety Information       208
The biological effects of radi
o frequency energy should not 
be confused with the effects from other types of 
electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found 
in X-rays and gamma rays, can  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 energy, 
including both radio waves and microwaves, are not great 
enough to cause ionization of atoms and molecules. 
Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. 
Other types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light, 
infrared radiation (heat), and other forms of electromagnetic 
radiation with relati vely low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can 
increase body temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two 
areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly 
vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little 
blood flow in them to carry away excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection 
between RF and cer tain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In 
addition, attempts to replicat e and confirm the few studies 
that have shown a connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the 
weight of scientific evidence does not show an association 
between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones 
and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community 
has supported additional rese arch to address gaps in 
knowledge. Some of these studies are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to 
determine whether cell phones increase the risk of head and 
neck cancer. A report published  in the International Journal 
of Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for 
more than 5,000 people with brain tumors (glioma and 
meningioma) and a similar number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused 
brain cancer. In this study, most people had no increased risk 
of brain cancer from using cell  phones. For people with the 
heaviest use of cell phones (an  average of more than ½ hour 
per day, every day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a  
						

							209
slight increase in brain cancer. However, the authors 
determined that biases and errors prevented any conclusions 
being drawn from this data. Ad
ditional information about 
Interphone can be found at 
http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did 
not answer all questions about  cell phone safety. Additional 
research is being conducted around the world, and the FDA 
continues to monitor developments in this field.
Inter national Cohor t Study on Mobile Phone Users 
(COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health 
monitoring of a large group of people to determine if there 
are any health issues linked to long-term exposure to radio 
frequency energy from cell phone use. The COSMOS study 
will follow approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in 
Europe for 20 to 30 years. Additional information about the 
COSMOS study can be found at
 http://www.ukcosmos.org/index.html.
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio 
Frequency Fields in Childhood and Adolescence 
(MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the 
relationship between exposure to radio frequency energy 
from communication technologies including cell phones and 
brain cancer in young people. This is an international 
multi-center study involving  14 European and non-European 
countries. Additional information about MOBI-KIDS can be 
found at
http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/
view.php?ID=39.
Sur veillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 
Program of the National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer 
statistics in the United States to  detect any change in rates of 
new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk 
for brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell 
phone use has been common for quite some time in the U.S. 
Between 1987 and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence 
of brain cancer did not increase.  Additional information about 
SEER can be found at

Cell Phone Industr y Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA 
regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry 
to take a number of steps, 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; and
Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current 
information on cell phone use and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting 
bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics 
Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on 
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to 
assure that safety standards continue to adequately protect 
the public.
Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other 
Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
If there is a risk from bei ng exposed to radio frequency 
energy (RF) from cell phones - and at this point we do not 
know that there is - it is probably very small. But, if you are 
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take 
a few simple steps to minimize your RF exposure.
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between 
your head and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets 
and various types of body-worn accessories such as 
belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these can be used to 
reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the 
phone is held away from the head  in the users hand or in 
approved body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in 
the U.S. are required to m eet RF exposure compliance 
requirements when used against the head and against the 
body. 
						

							211
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.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head 
from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF 
emissions from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that 
accessories which claim to sh ield the head from those 
emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield 
the user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while 
others involve nothing more than a metallic accessory 
attached to the phone. 
Studies have shown that thes e products generally do not 
work as advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits, these so-called 
“shields” may interfere with pr oper operation of the phone. 
The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, 
leading to an increase in RF absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users 
of cell phones from RF exposure, including children and 
teenagers. The steps adults ca n take to reduce RF exposure 
apply to children and teenagers as well.
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between 
the head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by othe r national governments have 
advised that children be discou raged from using cell phones 
at all. For example, The Stew art Report from the United 
Kingdom made such a recommendation in December 2000. 
In this report, a group of independent experts noted that no 
evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors 
or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit cell phone 
use by children was strictly pr ecautionary; it was not based 
on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

various sources can be obtained from the following

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) 
Certification Information
Your wireless phone 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 Electric al and Electronics Engineers 
(IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed 
by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, 
government, and academia afte r 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 
phones 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 
requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). 
						

							213
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 th e phone 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 phone while 
operating can be well below the maximum reported value. 
This is because the phone 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 phone.
Before a new model phone 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 phone are performed in po sitions and locations (e.g. at 
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. For 
body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets 
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory 
that contains no metal and that  positions the mobile device a 
minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with 
FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an 
Equipment Authorization for th
is mobile device with all 
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC 
RF exposure guidelines. This  mobile phone has an FCC ID 
number: A3LSMN900A [Model  Number: SM-N900A] and the 
specific SAR levels for this mob ile phone can be found at the 
following FCC website: 
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
The SAR information for this device can also be found on 
Samsung’s website: 
http://www.samsung.com/sar. 
SAR information on this and other model phones can be 
accessed online on the FCCs website through 
http://
transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that 
pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone 
FCC ID number which is usua lly printed somewhere on the 
case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to 
remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have 
the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the 
instructions on the website and it should provide values for 
typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional 
SAR information can also be obtained at
