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.
Body-worn operations are restricted to
Samsung-supplied, approved, or non-Samsung
designated accessories that have no metal and
must provide at least 1.5 cm separation
between the device, including its antenna
(whether extended or retracted) and the user's
body. Non-compliance with the above
restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.
These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations,
the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both
cases, the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after
extensive reviews of the scientific literature
related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy by the human body expressed in units
of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of
1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC
exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations in measurements.
