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:
GSM
190
0 Head:
1
.
13
W/
Kg, Body-worn: 0.
718

For body worn operation, this model phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
whenused with a Samsung accessory designated for
this product or when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a
minimum of 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, A3LSGHZ610.
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. Additional product specific SAR information
can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.
Consumer Information on Wireless
Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
published a series of Questions and Answers for
consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure
from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes
the following information:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called
“cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short
distance between the phone and the user's head.
These RF exposures are limited by Federal
Communications Commission safety guidelines that
