Speci c Absorption Rate (SAR) certi cation
information
Your phone conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile phones that exceed a maximum exposure level (known
as the Speci c Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 watts
per kilogram. During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this
model was 0.940 watts per kilogram. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the phone has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your phone reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
For more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung mobile phone website.
