Wireless Guidance
(If fitted with 2.4G band or 5G band) 
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless 
communication devices), operating in the 2.4GHz/5GHz Band, may 
be present (embedded) in your notebook system. The following 
section is a general overview of considerations while operating a 
wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries 
are listed in the specific country sections (or country group 
sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for 
use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the 
system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless 
device in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval 
agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated 
and use may not be allowed.
The RF field strength of the wireless device or devices that may 
be embedded in your notebook are well below all international 
RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless 
devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less 
energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and 
recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe 
using. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to 
minimize human contact during normal operation.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. 
Examples of common restrictions are listed on the next page:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere 
•	
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation 
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while 
traveling in an airplane.  
802.11ABGN (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) and 
Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices 
that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other 
•	
devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, 
the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or 
eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable 
gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use 
of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When 
in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction 
to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for 
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of 
•	
wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with 
a wireless device, when traveling between countries 
with your system, check with the local Radio Approval 
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on 
the use of a wireless device in the destination country.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals  
Certification Information
This product can contain an embedded 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 exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two 
expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection 
and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and 
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations 
were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from 
industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the 
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
Before a new model is available for sale to the public, it must be 
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit 
established by the FCC. Evaluation per each model is performed 
in positions and locations (e.g. at the bottom on the body) as 
required by the FCC.
For body worn operation, this model meets the FCC RF exposure 
guidelines when used with Samsung accessory designated for this 
product. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in 
violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines. RF exposure or SAR information can viewed on-line at http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses this product FCC ID number 
on the outside of the product. Sometimes it may be necessary to 
remove the battery pack to find number. Once you have the FCC 
ID number for a particular product, follow the instructions on the 
website and it should provide RF exposure information or values 
for typical or maximum SAR for particular product.
For corresponding model only
The Specific Absorption Rate (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 wireless devices to comply 
with a safety lilmit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6W/kg).
SAR level of this device while operating can be well below the 
maximum value. This is because the 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.
