Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed the SAR 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 phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the
body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
This [mobile phone/device] has a FCC ID number: A3LSMS765C [Model Number: SM-S766C] and the
specific SAR levels for this [mobile phone/device] can be found at the following FCC website:
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website: www.samsung.com/sar.
SAR information on this and other model devices can be accessed online on the FCC’s website through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that pertains to a particular model,
this site uses the device FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the device.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC
ID number for a particular device, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for
typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional SAR information can also be obtained at
www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones.
FCC Part 15 Information to User
Pursuant to part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, you are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Samsung could void your authority to operate the device.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
●
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
●
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
●
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
●
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information
Your wireless device 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 RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations: the
National Council 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 RF 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 SAR 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 reported 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 of the device.
