m anufact ured not to exceed t he exposure lim its for radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S.
governm ent . These FCC exposure lim its are derived from t he
recom m endat ions of t wo expert organizations, the Nat ional Counsel on
Radiat ion Prot ect ion and Measurem ent ( NCRP) and t he I nst itut e of
Elect rical and Elect ronics Engineers ( I EEE). I n bot h cases, t he
recom m endat ions w ere developed by scient ific and engineering experts
drawn from indust ry, governm ent, and academ ia aft er ext ensive reviews
of t he scient ific literat ure related t o t he biological effect s of RF energy.
The exposure lim it set by the FCC for wireless m obile phones em ploys a
unit of m easurem ent known as the Specific Absorption Rat e (SAR). The
SAR is a m easure of t he rat e of absorpt ion of RF energy by t he hum an
body expressed in units of wat t s per kilogram ( W/ kg) . The FCC requires
wireless phones t o com ply wit h a safet y lim it of 1.6 wat t s per kilogram
( 1.6 W/ kg) . The FCC exposure lim it incorporates a subst ant ial m argin of
safet y t o give addit ional protect ion to t he public and t o account for any
variat ions in m easurem ent s.
SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing posit ions accept ed by
the FCC wit h t he phone transm it t ing at its highest cert ified power level in
all test ed frequency bands. Although t he SAR is det erm ined at t he highest
certified power level, t he actual SAR lev el of t he phone while operat ing
can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because t he phone is
designed to operat e at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power
required to reach the net work. I n general, t he closer you are t o a wireless
base st at ion ant enna, t he lower t he pow er out put.
Before a new m odel phone is available for sale to t he public, it m ust be
test ed and certified to t he FCC that it does not exceed the exposure lim it
established by t he FCC. Tests for each m odel phone are perform ed in
posit ions and locat ions ( e.g. at t he ear and worn on t he body) as required
by t he FCC.
For body worn operation, this m odel phone has been t ested and m eet s
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used wit h a Sam sung accessory
designated for t his product or when used wit h an accessory that contains
no m et al and t hat posit ions the handset a m inim um of 1.5 cm from the
body.
Non- com pliance wit h the above rest rict ions m ay result in violat ion of FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
