Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification

information

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR

EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed

not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio

frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international

guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent

scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety

margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of

age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for

mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using

standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its

highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well

below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of

system efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the

operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased

when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power

output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation 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

www.samsung.com/sar and search for your device with the model

number.
