The “environmental protection use period” is valid only when the product is used under normal conditions, as described in the manual.
The maximum SAR value of your device is W/kg , and accords with the requirement of standard GB 21288-2007.0.938Health and safety informationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsCertification Information (SAR)Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from therecommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protectionand Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Inboth cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawnfrom industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literaturerelated to the biological effects of RF energy.The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurementknown as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorptionof RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCCrequires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). TheFCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection tothe public and to account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with thephone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Althoughthe SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phonewhile operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designedto operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. Ingeneral, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified tothe FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for eachmodel phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) asrequired by the FCC.For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposureguidelines when used with a Samsung accessory designated for this product or when used withan accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of cm fromthe body.Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposureguidelines.SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/.Please use the phone FCC ID number for search, A3LSMG6000. 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 andit should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone.

FCC Notice and Cautions FCC Notice 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. 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 device may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the device if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division. Cautions Changes or modifications made in the radio device, not expressly approved by Samsung, will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the device warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the device. Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
