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 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. Body-worn operations are restricted to Samsung-supplied,
approved, or non-Samsung designated accessories that have no metal
and must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device,
including its antenna (whether extended or retracted) and the user's
body. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation
of FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are:
•
Head:0.993 W/Kg.
•
Body-worn: 0.51 W/Kg.
