Appendix A: CERTIFICATION

INFORMATION (SAR)

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S

REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the

emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)

energy set by the Federal Communications Commission

of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels

of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines

are based on safety standards that were developed by

independent scientific organizations through periodic

and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The

standards include a substantial safety margin designed

to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and

health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones

employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6 W/kg. 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 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 limit estabilished by the FCC.

Tests 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 Head: 1.33 W/Kg, Body-worn: 1.11 W/Kg

For body worn operation, this model phone has been

tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when

used with a Samsung accessory designated for this

product or when used with an accessory that contains

no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of

1.5 cmfrom the body.
