Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
Your device 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 devices that exceed a maximum
exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR)
of 2.0 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model
was 0.645 W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be
much lower, as the device 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 device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
The Declaration of Conformity at the back of this manual
demonstrates your device’s compliance with the European
Radio & Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE)
directive. For more information about the SAR and related EU
standards, visit the Samsung mobile phone website.
