Safety information
Safety information
phone models are tested at their highest value in
strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the
SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level
reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety
of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated
above, variations in SAR values between different
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values for the SM-G900W8
are:
Head : 0.86 W/kg
• Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
certification information
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of
a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does
not represent how much RF the phone emits. All
