The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. SAR Tests are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the phone 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 phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the phone 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 phone is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by the
government adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and
locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values of this model phone as
reported to FCC are Head: 1.440 W/kg, Body-worn:
1.300 W/kg in GSM 850 and Head: 0.663 W/kg, Body-
worn: 0.449 W/kg in GSM 1900.
Body-worn operations are restricted to Samsung-
supplied, approved or none Samsung designated
accessories that have no metal and must provide at
least 1.5cm separation between the device,
including its antenna whether extended or retracted,
