of the scientific literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in units of
watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure
limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection to the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual 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 to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
Safety and usage information
power output.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit
established by the FCC. Tests for each model
phone are performed in positions and locations
(e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are:
GSM 850 Mode
Head: 0.102 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.465 W/Kg.
GSM 1900 Mode(Part 24)
Head: 0.3 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.454 W/Kg.
For body worn operation, this model phone
has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines whenused with a Samsung accessory
designated for this product or when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from
the body.
