For Body Operation - Samsung SGH-i616 User Manual

The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions specified 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 power output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified by the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on
FCC ID printed in the label on the phone.

For Body Operation

For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung-supplied or approved accessory
designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and
that positions the phone a minimum from the body.
The minimum distance from the body for this model phone is written in the FCC
certification information. Non-compliance with the above conditions may violate FCC
RF exposure guidelines.

1. In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
