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.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-
line at www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid.
This site uses the phone FCC ID
number, A3LSCHI899.
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.
