Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
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 the FCC. 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.
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 limit estabilished by the FCC.
Tests 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 Head: 1.28W/Kg, Body-worn:
0.861 W/Kg.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
when used 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.
None-compliance with the above restrictions may
result in violation of FCC RF esposure guidelines.
