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. Body-worn operations
are restricted to Samsung-supplied, approved, or non-
Samsung designated accessories that have no metal and
must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the
device, including its antenna (whether extended or
retracted) and the user's body. Non-compliance with
the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this mobile phone 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:1.4 W/Kg.
• Body-worn: 1.42 W/Kg.
