Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much
RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest
value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of
a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to Industry
Canada. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity
to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What
is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal
guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model phones do not mean variations in
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values for the SM-G920W8 are:
Head : 0.63 W/kg
Body : 1.08 W/kg
This phone has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when
used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the
mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US
Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are
concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a
hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head
and body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the
device. For more information, visit www.samsung.com/sar and search
for your device with the model number.
