Health and Safety Information
Section 12
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted 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.
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 exposure limit established by the
FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC. Body-worn operations are
restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved, or non-
Samsung designated accessories that have no metal and
must provide at least 1.3 cm separation between the
device, including its antenna (whether extended or
retracted) and the user's body. Non-compliance with the
above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The maximum SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are:
