Health and safety information
The exposure limit set by the FCC for
wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a
measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in
units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates
a substantial margin of 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.
The highest SAR values
for this model phone
as reported to the FCC
are
: GSM1900 Mode Head: 1.13 W/kg,
Body-worn: 0.55 W/kg. GSM850 Mode Head:
1.31W/kg, Body-worn: 1.21 W/kg
For body worn
operations, this model phone
has been testde
and meets the FCC
exposure guidelines when
used with a
Samsung accessory designated for
this
product or when used with an accessroy
that
contains no metal and that positons the
handset a minimum 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
A3LSGH
C166
.
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.
