SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest cer-
tified 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 reported 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 device.
Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model device 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 phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Au-
thorization for this mobile device 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: 0.86 W/Kg.
• Body-worn: 0.86 W/Kg.
The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung's website: www.samsung.com/sar.
SAR information on this and other model devices can be accessed online on the FCC's website through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that pertains to a particular model, this site uses the device
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the device. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the
battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular device, follow the instructions on the web-
site and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional SAR information can also be
obtained at www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones.
