APPENDIX
Appendix A: CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency(RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on safety standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate(SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
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 limit established by the governmentadopted 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 SCH-i640 as reported to the FCC are Head: 0.687W/Kg, Body-
worn: 1.25W/Kg (CDMA Mode), and Head: 1.18 W/Kg, Body-worn: 1.12 W/Kg (PCS
Mode).
SAR compliance for body-worn operating configurations is limited to the specific belt-clip/
holster supplied or approved by Samsung, if available. The use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure compliance and should
be avoided.
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 A3LSCHI640.
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.
