5Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour 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 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 engineering experts drawn from industry, government, The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobiledevices employs a unit of measurement known as the the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices 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 recommended operating positions accepted by the FCC with the GALAXY tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined of the GALAXY while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the GALAXY 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 device is available for sale to the it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model GALAXY are performed in positions and locations (e.g.  near the body) as requiredby the FCC. Health and safety informationFor typical operations, this model GALAXY has been tested and meets the FCC exposure guidelines.Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.SAR information on this and other model GALAXYs can be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/.  This site uses the FCC ID number A3LGTP1000L.You can check the  FCC ID on the rear case.Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular GALAXY,follow the instructions on the website and it should  provide values for typical or maximum SAR fora particular GALAXYSAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.Operating EnvironmentRemember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your GALAXYforbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger. When connecting the GALAXY or any accessory to another device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.

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 from that to which the receiver is connected. -  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  The GALAXY may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the GALAXY if such interference cannot be eliminated.
