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 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.     
 
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 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 

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/

This site uses the phone FCC ID number, 

A3LSGHC414Y.

 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
