Appendix A: CERTIFICATION
INFORMATION (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on safety
standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg. 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: GSM 850 Mode Head: 0.823
W/Kg, Body-worn: 1.12 W/Kg.
GSM 1900 Mode Head:0.586 W/Kg,Body-worn: 0.647 W/Kg.
For body worn operations, this model phone has been
testde and meets the FCC RFexposure 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 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 A3LSGHI718.
