109 SafetyThe SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring andcalculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phonemodels are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when inoperation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported tothe FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a basestation antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember isthat each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do notrepresent a variation in safety.All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantialmargin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different modelphones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federalstandard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-a523 are:1.21 W/kg CDMA Head SAR1.39 W/kg PCS CDMA Head SAROwner’s RecordThe model number, regulatory number and serial number are located on anameplate inside the battery compartment.
