16111 Health and safety informationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsCertification Information (SAR)Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It isdesigned and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limitsfor radio frequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.These FCC exposure limits are derived from therecommendations of two expert organizations, the NationalCounsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) andthe Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Inboth cases, the recommendations were developed by scientificand engineering experts drawn from industry, government,and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literaturerelated to the biological effects of RF energy.The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate ofabsorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in unitsof watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wirelessphones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram(1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantialmargin of safety to give additional protection to the public andto account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positionsaccepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all tested frequency bands. Althoughthe SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well belowthe maximum value. This is because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closer you are toa wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.When approval test is done, no Samsung supplied accessoriesare avialable but maybe available later after approval.
