Use of non-Samsung-approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be
avoided.

radio frequency signals, see the following websites:

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified 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 operation
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 phone model 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. (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safety
exposure.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Samsung-
approved accessories. When carrying the phone
while it is on, use the specific Samsung belt-clip that
has been tested for compliance.
