Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 194Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed inthe head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring andcalculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phonemodels are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when inoperation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to theFCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base stationantenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is thateach phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent avariation in safety.All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial marginof safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phonesdo not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.The highest reported SAR values of the Sprint PCS International Phone IP-A790 bySamsung® are:Digital (Part 24):Head: 1.21 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.18 W/kgFCC Radiofrequency EmissionThis phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.FCC ID number: A3LSPHA790. More information on the phone's SAR can befound from the following FCC Website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
