Function Description

The Samsung SM-A536E/DS and SM-A536E are mobile devices designed for communication, data transfer, and various applications. They support both iOS and Android platforms for data transfer via Smart Switch, allowing users to easily migrate data from older phones. The devices can be personalized through various settings, including wallpaper, themes, and other customizable options. They also feature a "Flight mode" to disable all wireless functions, useful in environments like aircraft or ships where wireless communication is restricted.

Important Technical Specifications

Model Numbers: SM-A536E/DS, SM-A536E
SIM Card: Uses nano-SIM cards (sold separately).
Charging: Requires a charger to be connected to an electric socket. The charger should remain close and easily accessible while charging.
Water and Dust Resistance: Water resistant based on IP68 rating, which means it can withstand submersion in fresh water deeper than 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. It is not impervious to dust and water damage in all situations, and all compartments must be closed tightly.
Operating Temperature: Foldable devices can be stored safely in ambient temperatures ranging from -10°C / 14.0°F to 50°C / 122°F. Prolonged exposure to temperatures outside this range can pose a high risk of damage.
Connectivity: Supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, subject to FCC Part 15 regulations.
Location Services: Utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) and Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) for location-based applications. AGPS obtains information from the cellular network to improve GPS performance.
Emergency Alerts: Compatible with Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), part of the US emergency system, for public warnings about weather conditions, missing children, and other critical situations.
Security Platform: Features Samsung Knox, Samsung's security platform, which may require additional licensing fees for enterprise use.
SAR Certification: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information is available on the FCC website and Samsung's website. Body-worn operations require non-metallic accessories and at least 1.5cm separation from the user's body.

Usage Features

Power On: To turn on the device, press and hold the Side key for a few seconds.

- Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.
- Impacts or drops can damage water and dust resistant features.
- Failure to rinse and dry the device after exposure to liquids other than fresh water may cause operability or cosmetic issues.
Device Temperature Management:
- Prolonged usage or certain applications may increase device temperature.
- If the device feels hot, discontinue use, close applications, or turn off the device until it cools.
- Ensure adequate ventilation and airflow. Covering the device can trap heat.

If interference occurs, users are advised to reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, increase separation between equipment and receiver, connect the equipment to a different circuit, or consult a dealer/technician. The FCC may require users to stop using the mobile device if interference cannot be eliminated.
