Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone 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
exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel 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 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 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 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 value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at

For body worn operations, this model phone
has been testde and meets the FCC
exposure guidelines when used with a
Samsung accessory designated for this
product or when used with an accessroy that
contains no metal and that positons the
handset a minimum 1.5 cm from the body.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions
may result in violation of FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
SAR information on this and other model
phones can be viewed on-line at
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site uses the
phone FCC ID number A3LGTS3500I.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove
the battery pack to find the number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for a particular
phone, follow the instructions on the website
and it should provide values for typical or
maximum SAR for a particular phone.
Additional product specific SAR information
can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/

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.
The highest SAR values for this model phone
as reported to the FCC are : GSM850
Mode Head: 0.142W/Kg, Body-worn:0.405
W/Kg. GSM1900 Mode
Head: 0.686W/Kg, Body-worn:0.756W/Kg.

Consumer Information on Wireless
Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has published a series of Questions
and Answers for consumers relating to radio
frequency (RF) exposure from wireless
phones. The FDA publication includes the
following information:
What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to
hand-held wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or
“PCS” phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to measurable
radio frequency energy (RF) because of the
short distance between the phone and the
user's head. These RF exposures are limited
by Federal Communications Commission
safety guidelines that were developed with
the advice of FDA and other federal health
and safety agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances from the user,
the exposure to RF is drastically lower
because a person's RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the
source. The so-called “cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically
operate at far lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures well within the FCC's
compliance limits.
Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not
show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones. There
is no proof, however, that wireless phones
are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit
low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being used. They
