manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy setby the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. TheseFCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expertorganizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In bothcases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering expertsdrawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of thescientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measureof the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of wattsper kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limitof 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates asubstantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to accountfor any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCCwith the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequencybands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as touse only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested andcertified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by theFCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. atthe ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RFexposure guidelines when used with a Samsung accessory designated for thisproduct or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positionsthe handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RFexposure guidelines.SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line athttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the phone FCC ID number for search,A3LSMG386F. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to findthe number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow theinstructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SARfor a particular phone.
