THIS DEVICE ME ETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES

Your mobile is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent
scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit
of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR
values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this
device model are:

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information

Your dev ice is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the exposure limi ts for Radio Frequency (RF)
energy set by the
Federal Co mmunications Commission (FCC) o f
the U.S. Government.

T

hese FCC RF exposure limits are derived from
the recommendations of two ex pe r t
organiza tions: the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Ele ctrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were d eveloped b y scient ific
and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia after
extensive reviews of the scientific literature
related to the biological effects of RF energy.

he RF expos ure limit set by the FCC for

T
wireless mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specif ic 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 SAR limit incorpo rates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to
the public and to account for any variat ion s in
measurements.

S

AR tests are conducte d using standard
operating positions accepted by the F CC with
the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequ ency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power le vel, the actual SA R level of the
device while operating can be well below the
maximum reported value. This is because the
device 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.

Before a new model device is a vailable for sale
to the public, it must be tested and cer tified to
the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit
established by the FCC. Tests
for each model are performed in positions and
locations (for example, at the ear, worn on the
body, or worn on the wrist) as required by the
FCC. Use of other accessories may not ensur e

FCC Part 15 Information and
Notices

Note: Any device that uses Bluetooth o r Wi-Fi is
subject to FCC Part 15. Any device with a power
supply is subject to Part 15 which also covers
both intentional r adiators (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi)
and unintentional radiators (such as emissions
from power supplies and cir cuit boards).

ursuant to Part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, yo u are

P
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 devic e m ay n o t cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference receive d, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

ote: This equipment has been tested and

found to comply with the limits for a Cl ass B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FC C
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a res idential install a tion. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful inter f er en ce to r adio
communications.

H

owever, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or tele vision
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interfer ence by
one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the
e

quipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit d iff erent from that to which the receiver
is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV
technician for help.
