Samsung SGH-E786 User Manual

Health and safety information141The exposure standard for wireless mobilephones employs a unit of measurement knownas the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SARlimit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. SAR Tests areconducted using standard operating positionsaccepted by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power levelin all tested frequency bands. Although the SARis determined at the highest certified powerlevel, the actual SAR level of the phone whileoperating can be well below the maximumvalue. This is because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels so as to useonly the power required to reach the network.In general, the closer you are to a wireless basestation antenna, the lower the power output.Before a new model phone is available for saleto the public, it must be tested and certified tothe FCC that it does not exceed the limitestablished by the government adoptedrequirement for safe exposure. The tests areperformed in positions and locations(e.g., at theear and worn on the body) as required by theFCC for each model.The highest reported SAR values are:- GSM850 Head: 0.477 W/kg, Body-worn: 1.17 W/kg,- GSM1900 Head: 0.409 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.687 W/kgBody-worn operations are restricted toSamsung supplied, approved or none Samsungdesignated accessories that have no metal andmust provide at least 1.5 cm separationbetween the device, including its antennawhether extended or retracted, and the user’sbody. None compliance to the above restrictionsmay violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
