128Health and safetyinformationExposure to radio frequency (RF)signalsYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.Government. These limits are part ofcomprehensive guidelines and establish permittedlevels of RF energy for the general population. Theguidelines are based on the safety standards thatwere developed by independent scientificorganizations through periodic and throughevaluation of scientific studies.The standards include a substantial safety margindesigned to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless phones employsa unit of measurement known as SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by theFCC is 1.6W/kg. ***.In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used bythe public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tis-sue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety togive additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements.Health and safety information129SAR tests are conducted using standard operatingpositions specified by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating canbe well below the maximum value. This is becausethe phone is designed to operate at multiple powerlevels so as to use only the power required to reachthe network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the poweroutput of the phone.Before a new model phone is available for sale tothe public, it must be tested and certified to the FCCthat it does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safeexposure. The tests are performed in positions andlocations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) asrequired by the FCC for each model.The highest SAR values for this model phone asreported to the FCC are Head: 1.12W/Kg, Body-worn: 1.23W/Kg in CDMA 800MHz. Body-worn operationsare restricted to Samsungsupplied, approved or noneSamsung designated accessories that have nometal and must provide at least 1.5cm separationbetween the device, including its antenna whetherextended or retracted, and the user’s body. Nonecompliance to the above restrictions may violateFCC RF exposure guidelines.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorizationfor this model phone with all reported SAR levelsevaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure guidelines. SAR information on this modelphone is on file with the FCC and can be foundunder the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC IDA3LSCHX799.
