Samsung serial numbers are configured in two different ways:

• 10 / 11 digits
  or
• 14 / 15 digits

In the case of 10 / 11 digit compositions, the 4th digit represents the manufacture year and and the 5th digit represents the manufacture month.
In the case of 14 / 15 digit compositions, the 8th digit represents the manufacture year and and the 9th digit represents the manufacture month.

Year:

• N = 2000
• R = 2001
• T = 2002
• W = 2003

Month:

• 1 = January
• 2 = Feburary
• 3 = March
  ...
• 8 = August
• 9 = September
• A = October
• B = November
• C = December

You can find the serial number from:

• the product label or the small label on the cover, or
• by executing SeaTools.

If the serial number has 11 or 15 digits, the last digit is a letter of the alphabet.
