These guidelineswere developed by the independent scientific organizationICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure theprotection of all persons, regardless of age and health.The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobiledevices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this devicewhen tested at the ear was 0.205 W/kg1. As mobile phonesoffer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions,such as on the body as described in this user guide2. In thiscase, the highest tested SAR value is 0.212 W/kg.As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmittingpower the actual SAR of this device while operating is typicallybelow that indicated above. This is due to automatic changesto the power level of the device to ensure it only uses theminimum level required to reach the network.1. The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines fortesting.2. For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the RFexposure guidelines when used with a Samsung-supplied or approvedaccessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory thatcontains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm fromthe body.
