SAR informationYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards that were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and through evaluation of scientific studies.The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by FCC is 1.6 W/kg. SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions specified by th e FCC with the phone transmitting at its hightest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.997 W/kg.At very high volume, prolonged listening to a headset can damage your hearing.Yong-Sang Park/S.Manager
128Health and safety informationBefore 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. The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are GSM1900 Mode Head:0.997 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.387 W/Kg..For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines whenused 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 www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site uses the phone FCC ID number, A3LSGHX540. 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 www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.NorthAmerica_Cingular_T-mobile.fm Page 102 Tuesday, May 16, 2006 7:52 AM
