Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, therecommendations were developed by scientific and engineering expertsdrawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviewsof the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs aunit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). TheSAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the humanbody expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requireswireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram(1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin ofsafety to give additional protection to the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted bythe FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level inall tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highestcertified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operatingcan be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone isdesigned to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must betested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limitestablished by the FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed inpositions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as requiredby the FCC.For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meetsthe FCC RF exposure guidelines whenused with a Samsung accessorydesignated for this product or when used with an accessory that containsno metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from thebody.Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCCRF exposure guidelines.SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line atwww.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid. This site uses the phone FCC ID number,A3LGTS5230N. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the batterypack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for aparticular phone, follow the instructions on the website and it shouldprovide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone.Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained atwww.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series ofQuestions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF)exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the
