21Health and safety informationThe exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobilephones employs a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measureof the rate of absorption of RF energy by the humanbody expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg).The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with asafety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). TheFCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial marginof safety to give additional protection to the public andto account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operatingpositions accepted by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levelsso as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a new model phone is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC thatit does not exceed the exposure limit established bythe FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed inpositions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn onthe body) as required by the FCC.The highest SAR values for this model phone asreported to the FCC are:CDMA• Head: 1.06 W/Kg.• Body-worn: 0.734 W/Kg.PCS• Head: 1.40 W/Kg.• Body-worn: 0.613 W/Kg.For body worn operation, this model phone has beentested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelineswhen used with a Samsung accessory designated forthis product or when used with an accessory thatcontains no metal and that positions the handset aminimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Non-compliancewith the above restrictions may result in violation ofFCC RF exposure guidelines.
