SAR tests 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 operating 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 of the phone.
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. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 0.182W/Kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 0.164W/Kg
(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 safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission 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
A3LSGHS105.

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-
supplied or approved carrying case, holster, or
other body-worn accessory.
Use of non-Samsung-approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be
avoided.
