Samsung Galaxy Player 5 Instruction Manual

							Health and Safety Information       127
The FCC exposure 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 mobile 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 mobile device while operating 
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the 
mobile 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.
Before a new model mobile device is available for sale to the 
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not 
exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each 
model of a device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. 
near the body) as required by the FCC.
For typical operations, this mobile device has been tested and 
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF 
exposure guidelines.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile 
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance 
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values 
for this model device as reported in the FCC equipment 
authorization grant are:
Head: 0.057 W/kg.
Body-worn: 0.07 W/kg.
SAR information on this and other model devices can be viewed 
online at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. To find information that 
pertains to this particular model GALAXY, this site uses the FCC ID 
number, which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the 
device.
Follow the instructions on the website and it should provide 
values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular mobile device.

Smart Practices While Driving
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of 
his or her vehicle.
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 eyes off the road or become so 
absorbed in the activity that your ability to concentrate on the act 
of driving becomes impaired.
 Samsung is committed to promoting 
responsible driving and giving drivers the tools they need to 
understand and address distractions.

							Health and Safety Information       131
GPS
GALAXY can use a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal for 
location-based applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by 
the U.S. Government that are subject to changes implemented in 
accordance with the Department of Defense policy and the 2008 
Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may affect the 
performance of location-based technology on your mobile device.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that can be 
used to determine the approximate location of a mobile device. 
Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless network 
transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use 
applications that require location-based information (e.g. driving 
directions), such applications transmit location-based 
information. The location-based information may be shared with 
third-parties, including your wireless service provider, 
applications providers, Samsung, and other third-parties 
providing services.
Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation data may contain 
inaccurate or incomplete data, and circumstances can and do 
change over time. In some areas, complete information may not 
be available. Therefore, 
you should always visually confirm that 
the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see 
before following them. All users should pay attention to road 
conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact 
safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs
.
Emergency Communication
GALAXY should not be relied upon for essential communications 
(medical emergencies, calls to 911, or communications to 
emergency services). GALAXY is not designed or intended to be 
used for such communications. Voice Over Internet Protocol 
(VOIP) services which may be used on GALAXY to make phone 
calls do not support 911 calls and are only intended for talking 
with friends.

Care and Maintenance
Your mobile device is a product of superior design and 
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions 
below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you 
to enjoy this product for many years:
Keep your Samsung Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain 
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile device does 
get wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an oven, microwave, 
or dryer, because this may damage the mobile device and could cause 
a fire or explosion. Do not use the mobile device with a wet hand. 
Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or damage to the mobile 
device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or above 45°C / 113°F.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven. Doing so 
may cause a fire or explosion.
Dust and dirt
Do not expose your mobile device to dust, dirt, or sand.
Cleaning solutions
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to 
clean the mobile device. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in 
a mild soap-and-water solution.
Shock or vibration
Do not drop, knock, or shake the mobile device. Rough handling can 
break internal circuit boards.
Paint
Do not paint the mobile device. Paint can clog the device’s moving 
parts or ventilation openings and prevent proper operation.
Responsible Listening
Caution!: Avoid potential hearing loss.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud 
sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is 
played louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to 
loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of 
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that 
using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and 
cell phones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead 
to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use 
of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or 
other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also  
						

							Health and Safety Information       133
been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the 
ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual 
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential hearing 
problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound produced by a 
portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the 
sound, the device settings, and the headphones that are used. As 
a result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for 
everyone or for every combination of sound, settings, and 
equipment.
You should follow some common sense recommendations when 
using any portable audio device:
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an 
audio source.
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at 
which you can hear adequately.
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, not 
realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to your hearing.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the 
people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear 
what you are listening to.
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you 
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use 
noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental 
noise. By blocking background environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than 
when using earbuds.
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time 
is required before you hearing could be affected.
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such 
as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary 
hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you 
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or experience 
any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio 
device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
