All handheld mobile devices must comply with FCC guidelines for exposure to RF
energy. The FCC’s guidelines were developed by expert scientists and engineers
after extensive review of scientific literature relating to RF exposure, and those
guidelines incorporate prudent margins of safety.
•
Accessories that have potential to influence the SAR characteristics of a mobile
device require FCC approval. Such accessory products should be approved for your
mobile device prior to use as they can modify the RF fields around the device. For
more information, please refer to

•
Some hands-free mobile device kits and accessories can generate RF energy when
used in tandem with your mobile device.

Specific Absorption Rate
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification establishes a minimum recommended distance
from a person’s body for safe operation of RF-emitting devices. Body-worn operations are
restricted to belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that have no metallic component in
the assembly and must provide at least 1.5 cm (3/4 in.) separation between the device and
the user's body. Samsung’s Wireless Power Sharing feature allows device-to-device
charging without the need for a charger. If your device supports the wireless charging or
power sharing functions, this equipment should be operated with a minimum distance of 20
cm (8 in.) between the device and your body.
