Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information
Your wireless device is a 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 RF 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 RF exposure limit set by the FCC for
wireless mobile phones 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 phones to comply
with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public and to
account for any variations
in measurements.

8 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information
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 reported 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 of the device.
Before a new model device is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
the SAR 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.
For body-worn operation, this device has
been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions
the mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted
an Equipment Authorization for this
mobile device 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:
Simultaneous Transmission Head:
1.09 W/Kg
Simultaneous Transmission Body-worn:
1.13 W/Kg
The SAR information for this device can
also be found on Samsung’s website:
www.samsung.com/sar
SAR information on this and other model
devices can be accessed online on the
FCC’s website through http://transition.
fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find
information that pertains to a particular
model, this site uses the device FCC
ID number which is usually printed
somewhere on the case of the device.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove
the battery pack to find the number.
Once you have the FCC ID number for a
particular device, follow the instructions on
the website and it should provide values
for typical or maximum SAR for a particular
phone. Additional SAR information can also
be obtained at:

FCC Part 15 Information to User
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules,
you are cautioned that changes or
modifications not expressly approved
by Samsung could void your authority to
operate the device.
This device complies with part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received,

10 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
▪Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
▪Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
▪Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
▪Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
