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
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.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines when used 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 1.0 cm from the body.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/.
This site uses the phone FCC ID number,
A3LGTI8150T.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to
find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone,
follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or
maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional product specific SAR
information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of
Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the following
information:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called "cell," "mobile," or "PCS" phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy
(RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user's head.
These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety
guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health
and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called
"cordless phones," which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring
in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF
exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
