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 FCC. Tests 

are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear 

and worn on the body) as required 

by the FCC.

 

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 for this model phone as 

reported to the FCC are:
CDMA Mode(Part 22)  Head: 

0.788

 W/Kg.                         

                                Body-worn: 

0.742

W/Kg.

PCS Mode(Part 24) Head:

0.687

 W/Kg. 

                            Body-worn:0.

447

 W/Kg.

For body worn operations, this model phone has been 

tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when 

used 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 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

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

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over

one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial ma

gin of safety togive additional protection for the public and to ac-

count for any variations in measurements.
