Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (S AR )
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
a
nd
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy
s
e
t
by the Federal
Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.
These
FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations
of two
e
x
pe
r
t
organizations,
the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and
M
e
a
s
u
r
e
m
e
n
t
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In
bo
t
h
cases, the
recommendations
were developed by
scientific
and engineering
e
x
pe
r
t
s
drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of
the
scientific
literature related to the biological effects of RF
e
n

The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
o
f
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a
m
ea
s
u
r
e
of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of
w
a
tt
s
per kilogram
(
W
/
k
g
)
.
The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety
li
m
i
t
o
f
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
a
cc
o
un
t
for any variations in
m
ea
s
u
r
e
m
e
n
t
s.
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
f
r
e
qu
en
c
y
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
t
he
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum v
a
l
ue
.
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
t
o
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
ou
t
pu
t
.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
a
nd
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by
t
he
FCC. Tests foreach model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g.
a
t
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
F
CC
.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines whenused with a Samsung accessory designated for
t
h
i
s
product
or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that

the
number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, f ollow
t

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

Depending on the region or model, some devices are required to receive approval
from
the Federal
Commission(FCC).
If your device is approved by the FCC, you can view
the
FCC ID of the device. To view the FCC ID, tap Apps
