100Health and safety informationThe exposure limit set by the FCC forwireless mobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is ameasure of the rate of absorption of RFenergy by the human body expressed inunits of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCCrequires wireless phones to comply with asafety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporatesa substantial margin of safety to giveadditional protection to the public and toaccount for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standardoperating positions accepted by the FCC withthe phone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all tested frequencybands. Although the SAR is determined atthe highest certified power level, the actualSAR level of the phone while operating canbe well below the maximum value. This isbecause the phone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels so as to use only thepower required to reach the network. Ingeneral, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the poweroutput. Before a new model phone isavailable for sale to the public, it must betested and certified to the FCC that it doesnot exceed the exposure limit establishedby the FCC. Tests for each model phoneare performed in positions and locations(e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) asrequired by the FCC. The highest SAR valuesfor this model phone as reported to the FCCare : GSM1900 Mode Head: 1.13 W/kg,Body-worn: 0.55 W/kg. GSM850 Mode Head:1.31W/kg, Body-worn: 1.21 W/kg For body wornoperations, this model phone has been testdeand meets the FCC exposure guidelines whenused with a Samsung accessory designated forthis product or when used with an accessroythat contains no metal and that positons thehandset a minimum 1.5 cm from the body.Non-compliance with the above restrictionsmay result in violation of FCC RF exposureguidelines.SAR information on this and other modelphones can be viewed on-line atwww.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site uses thephone FCC ID number A3LSGHC166.Sometimes it may be necessary to removethe battery pack to find the number. Onceyou have the FCC ID number for a particularphone, follow the instructions on the websiteand it should provide values for typical ormaximum SAR for a particular phone.Additional product specific SAR informationcan also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.
