Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified by the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established

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 of this
model phone as reported to FCC are:
Body-worn operations are restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved or
non-Samsung designated accessories that have no metal and must
provide at least 1.5cm separation between the device, including its antenna
whether extended or retracted, and the user’s body. Non-compliance to the
above restrictions may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
*. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) aver-
aged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in measure-
ments.
