safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any 

variations in measurements. 
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 exposure 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 model phone has been tested and meets 
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung accessory 
designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains 
no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the 

body.  
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC 

RF exposure guidelines.

This site uses the phone FCC ID number, 

A3LGTI9020.

 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 product 

specific SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar. 
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones 
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of 
Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) 
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the 

following information: 
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
 
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with 
built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These 
types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radio 
frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone 
and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal 
Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with 
the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the 
phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is 
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
