Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specified 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 operation 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 phone model 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. (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements). While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safety exposure.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only SAMSUNG-
approved accessories. When carrying the phone while
it is on, use the specific SAMSUNG belt-clip that has
been tested for compliance.
Use of non-SAMSUNG-approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be
avoided.
