200 Section 4A: Important Safety InformationRadio Frequency (RF) EnergyUnderstanding How Your Phone OperatesYour phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives andtransmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling yourcall controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digitalmode.Knowing Radio Frequency SafetyThe design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levelswith respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers andphysicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed thisupdated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. InAugust 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEEstandard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection andMeasurements (NCRP).Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on yourbody, use the Samsung supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-wornaccessory. Use of non-Samsung approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposureguidelines.For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.
