Although the SARis determined at the highest certified power level,the actual SAR level of the phone while operationcan be well below the maximum value. This isbecause the phone is designed to operate at multiplepower levels so as to use only the power required toreach the network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the poweroutput.Before a phone model is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC thatit does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safe exposure.The tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required bythe FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurementsmay differ among phone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCC requirements). Whilethere may be differences between the SAR levels ofvarious phones and at various positions, they allmeet the government requirement for safe exposure.For body worn operation, to maintain compliancewith FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Samsung-approved accessories. When carrying the phonewhile it is on, use the specific Samsung-supplied orapproved carrying case, holster, or other body-wornaccessory.Use of non-Samsung-approved accessories mayviolate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should beavoided.Health and Safety InformationExposure 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 of the U.S.Government. These limits are part of comprehensiveguidelines and establish permitted levels of RFenergy for the general population. The guidelines arebased on the safety standards previously set by bothU.S. and international standards bodies:• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)IEEE. C95.1-1992• National Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986• International Commission on Non-IonizingRadiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6.The standards include a substantial safety marginddesigned to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit setby the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin ofsafety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations inmeasurements.
