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 reported 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 of the phone.
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 SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model phone are
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of
1.5cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. This device has a FCC ID number: A3LSCHS738C
[Model Number: SCH-S738C] and the specific SAR levels for this device can be found at the following
FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website:
http://www.samsung.com/sar.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be accessed online on the FCC’s website through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that pertains to a particular model
phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of
the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you
have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should
provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional SAR information can
also be obtained at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones.
FCC Part 15 Information to User
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Samsung could void your authority to operate the device.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Smart Practices While Driving On the Road - Off the Phone
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of his or her vehicle.
Responsible drivers understand that no secondary task should be performed while driving whether it be
eating, drinking, talking to passengers, or talking on a mobile phone - unless the driver has assessed
the driving conditions and is confident that the secondary task will not interfere with their primary
responsibility. Do not engage in any activity while driving a moving vehicle which may cause you to
take your eyes off the road or become so absorbed in the activity that your ability to concentrate on
the act of driving becomes impaired. Samsung is committed to promoting responsible driving and
giving drivers the tools they need to understand and address distractions.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted
in certain areas. For example, only hands-free use may be permitted in certain areas. Before
answering calls, consider your circumstances. Let the call go to voicemail when driving conditions
require. Remember, driving comes first, not the call!
If you consider a call necessary and appropriate, follow these tips:
• Use a hands-free device;
• Secure your phone within easy reach;
• Place calls when you are not moving;
• Plan calls when your car will be stationary;
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations;
• Let the person with whom you are speaking know that you are driving and will suspend the call
if necessary;
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving;
