Health and Safety Information

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 of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified by 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. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID printed in the label on the
phone.
For Body Operation
For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung-supplied or
approved accessory designated for this product or when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that positions the phone a minimum
from the body.
The minimum distance from the body for this model phone is written in the
FCC certification information. Non-compliance with the above conditions
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
