Appendix A: Certification Information (SAR)
170
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 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.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported
to the FCC are Head: 1.37W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.689W/Kg.
Body-worn operations are restricted to Samsung-supplied,
approved or none 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. None
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 the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
A3LSGHE315.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged 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 measurements.
