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.
