Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
certification information
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation,
the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level
reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design
and other factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not
represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model phones do not mean variations in
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values for the SM-G903W are:
Head : 0.74 W/kg
Body : 1.08 W/kg
This phone has been tested and meets 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.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the
US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people
are concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could
use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away
from the head and body during use, or reduce the amount
of time spent using the device. For more information, visit

number.
