Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)

This product can contain an embedded radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the

exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These

FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two

expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection

and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations

were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from

industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the

scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a

unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).

The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the

human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The

FCC requires wireless devices 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 wireless 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 device while operating can be well below the

maximum value. This is because the device 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 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 are

performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the bottom on the

body) as required by the FCC.

For body worn operation, this model has been tested and meets

the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with Samsung

accessory designated for this product. Non-compliance with the

above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure

guidelines.
SAR information on this and other model can be viewed on-line

at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses this product FCC

ID number on the outside of the product. Sometimes it may be

necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once

you have the FCC ID number for a particular product, follow the

instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical

or maximum SAR for a particular product.
