the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg).
The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The
FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection to the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.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. The highest SAR values
for this model phone as reported to the FCC are:
GSM850 Head:0.301 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.576 W/Kg;
GSM1900 Head: 0.556 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.558 W/
Kg.For body worn operation, this model phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
whenused 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 1.5
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 www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
This site uses the phone FCC ID number, A3LSWDS5200.
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.
