Health and safety information

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 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.
The highest SAR values of this model phone as 

reported to FCC are, 
[

GSM850

] Head Max:

0.622

 W/Kg, Body Max: 

0.839

[

 W/

Kg. 

Body-worn operations are restricted to Samsung-

supplied, approved or none Samsung designated 

accessories that have no metal and must provide at 

least 1.5cm separation between the device, including 

its antenna whether extended or retracted, and the 

user’s body. None compliance to the above restrictions 

may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
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 A3LS

*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile

phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) aver-

aged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-

stantial ma gin of safety togive additional protection for the

public and to account for any variations in measurements.
