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-B780W
are:
Head : 0.64 W/kg
Body : 0.70 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.
