Warranty and parts replacement Samsung warrants this product as free of defects in material, design and workmanship for the period of one year from the original date of purchase. (Depending on your country or service provider, the length of warranty may vary.
Health and safety information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certification Information (SAR) Your wireless USB dongle 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.
that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model USB dongle are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. The highest SAR values for this model USB dongle as reported to the FCC are: GSM1900 Body: 1.42 W/Kg.
Health and safety information federal health and safety agencies. When the USB dongle is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless USB dongles,” which have a base unit connected to the teleUSB dongle wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.
• “Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless USB dongles; • “Design wireless USB dongles in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and • “Cooperate in providing users of wireless USB dongles with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless USB dongle use on human health.
Health and safety information The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless USB dongles have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.
time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless USB dongles. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the USB dongle is held, or which model of USB dongle is used. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless USB dongle RF? FDA is working with the U.S.
Health and safety information a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless USB dongle will reduce RF exposure. • “If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless USB dongle every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the USB dongle, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the USB dongle is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless USB dongles marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body.
Health and safety information manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless USB dongle EMI. FDA has tested wireless USB dongles and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
Road Safety Your wireless USB dongle gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless USB dongles, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless USB dongle behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips: 1. Get to know your wireless USB dongle and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
Health and safety information 8. Use your wireless USB dongle to call for help. Dial 91-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless USB dongle! 9. Use your wireless USB dongle to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you. 10.
Using Your USB dongle Near Other Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless USB dongle. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Pacemakers Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless USB dongle and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Health and safety information Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Posted Facilities Switch your USB dongle off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.
FCC Notice and Cautions •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. •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.
Health and safety information The USB dongle may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the USB dongle if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result. • Switch your USB dongle off before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless USB dongle in aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to the aircraft's operation. • Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of teleUSB dongle services to the offender, or legal action, or both.
Health and safety information • Don't use the USB dongle if the antenna is damaged. • Speak directly into the USB dongle's receiver. • Avoid exposing your USB dongle and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your USB dongle does get wet, immediately turn the power off. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service. Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones Many services and features are network dependent and may require additional subscription and/or usage charges.
• • Do not store the USB dongle in cold areas. When the USB dongle warms up to its normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the USB dongle, which may damage the USB dongle's electronic circuit boards. Do not drop, knock or shake the USB dongle. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. • Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the USB dongle. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soapand-water solution.
