Thesestandards prevent the sale of mobile phone that exceeda maximum exposure level (known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram ofbody tissue.During testing, the maximum SAR values recorded forthis model were:NetworkPrequencySpecific Absorption Rate (W/kg)Held to ear Worn on bodyaGSM850 1.35 1.02GSM1900 0.961 0.413a. When used with accessories that contain no metal andprovide at least 1.5 cm separation between the phone(including the antenna, whether extended or retracted)and the wearer's body.In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be muchlower, as the phone has been designed to emit only theRF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearestbase station. By automatically emitting lower levels whenpossible, your phone reduces your overall exposure toRF energy.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorizationfor this model phone based on the compliance ofall reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposureguidelines. The authorization can be found on the FCCOffice of Engineering and Technology website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea (search for grantee code A3L andproduct code SGHC276L).SGH-C276LPrinted in KoreaCode No.:GH68-22018AEnglish (LTN). 01/2009.
