CC RF Exposure Information
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order
FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the
FCC guidelines and these international standards. Use only the
supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage
the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use
the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-Worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the
optional belt-clip/holster placed 0.78 inches (2.0cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.78 inches (2.0cm) must be
maintained between the user’s body and the phone, including
the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-
party belt-clips/holsters with no metallic components that
provide the minimum separation distance of 0.78 inches
(2.0cm) can be used to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.
8
SGH-Q105
October 31, 2001
The use of non-tested accessories or other body-worn operations
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should
be avoided. Contact your local dealer for optional accessory
items.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (Optional, if available)
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be
maintained Between a person and the vehicle mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov
SAR Information & FCC ID Labeling
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission 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 standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough 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 mobile phones employs a unit of measurement know as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
October 31, 2001
SGH-Q105

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 phone model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for
this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.53W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.35W/kg . (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe exposure.The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC
ID A3LSGHQ105.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com (see note).
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.
Note: The URL http://phonefacts.net may be used in place of

The use of any other power accessory will
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the
phone, and may be dangerous.
When you disconnect the power cord of any
accessory, grasp and pull the connector, not the
cord.
It is extremely important that only genuine
Samsung authorized accessories be utilized with
your Samsung phone. This is because accessories
might appear to be a perfect match, and labeled
suitable for your Samsung phone, but they can
charge at different current rates. The current
provided through the accessory may not match the
current that is required by your Samsung phone
and the result of using an unauthorized accessory
may be a battery or phone melt down. Your
warranty of course, would be null and void.

Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposer
guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
• ANSI C95.1 (1992)
• NCRP Report 86 (1986)
• ICNIRP (1996)

literature. For example, over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop
the ANSI standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).

Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more
than six inches from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediately.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to

Safety Information
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center
for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer
Update on Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety
of mobile phones, including cellular phones and
PCS phones. The following summarizes what is
known--and what remains unknown--about
whether these products can pose a hazard to
health, and what can be done to minimize any
potential risk. This information may be used to
respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (i.e., radio frequency radiation) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit
very low levels of radio frequency energy (RF),
considered non-significant, when in the stand-by
mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can
produce biological damage through heating
effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to
cook food). However, it is not known whether, to
what extent, or through what mechanism, lower
levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as
106
SGH-Q105
August 31, 2001
Owner’s Record
well. Although some research has been done to
address these questions, no clear picture of the
biological effects of this type of radiation has
emerged to date. Thus, the available science does
not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are
absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However,
the available scientific evidence does not
demonstrate any adverse health effects associated
with the use of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held
mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in
antenna that is positioned close to the user’s head
during normal telephone conversation. These
types of mobile phones are of concern because of
the short distance between the phone’s antenna--
the primary source of the RF--and the person’s
head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in
which the antenna is located at greater distances
from the user (on the outside of a car, for
example) is drastically lower than that from hand-
held phones, because a person’s RF exposure
decreases rapidly with distance from the source.
The safety of so-called “cordless phones,” which
have a base unit connected to the telephone
wiring in a house and which operate at far lower
power levels and frequencies, has not been
questioned.
How much evidence is there that hand-held
mobile phones might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for
sure, either way; however, research efforts are on-
going. The existing scientific evidence is
conflicting and many of the studies that have been
done to date have suffered from flaws in their
August 31, 2001

SGH-Q105 User Manual
research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of RF exposures
characteristic of mobile phones have yielded
conflicting results. A few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low levels of RF could
accelerate the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically
altered to be predisposed to developing one type
of cancer developed more than twice as many such
cancers when they were exposed to RF energy
compared to controls. There is much uncertainty
among scientists about whether results obtained
from animal studies apply to the use of mobile
phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the
results obtained in rats and mice to humans.
Second, many of the studies that showed increased
tumor development used animals that had already
been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and
other studies exposed the animals to the RF
virtually continuously--up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the
mobile phone industry has supported research
into the safety of mobile phones. This research has
resulted in two findings in particular that merit
additional study:
1.In a hospital-based, case-control study,
researchers looked for an association between
mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of
brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign
tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically
significant association was found between mobile
phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also
no association between mobile phone use and
gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were
considered together. It should be noted that the
108
SGH-Q105
August 31, 2001
Owner’s Record
average length of mobile phone exposure in this
study was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered
separately, however, an association was found
between mobile phone use and one rare type of
glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is
possible with multiple comparisons of the same
sample that this association occurred by chance.
Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often
the mobile phone was used, or the length of the
calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with
cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most
cancer causing agents increase risk with increased
exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by
the National Cancer Institute is expected to bear
on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.
2.Researchers conducted a large battery of
laboratory tests to assess the effects of exposure to
mobile phone RF on genetic material. These
included tests for several kinds of abnormalities,
including mutations, chromosomal aberrations,
DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in the
genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes.
None of the tests showed any effect of the RF
except for the micronucleus assay, which detects
structural effects on the genetic material. The cells
in this assay showed changes after exposure to
simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24
hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the
test cells to radiation for this long resulted in
heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive to
heating, heat alone could have caused the
abnormalities to occur. The data already in the
literature on the response of the micronucleus

assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up
research is necessary.
FDA is currently working with government,
industry, and academic groups to ensure the
proper follow-up to these industry-funded
research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing
research recommendations and scientific
oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on
such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported
recently in the literature:
1. Two groups of 18 people were exposed to
simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory
conditions while they performed cognitive
function tests. There were no changes in the
subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers, or
pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were
able to make choices more quickly in one visual
test when they were exposed to simulated mobile
phone signals. This was the only change noted
among more than 20 variables compared.
2. In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425
matched controls, there was no increased risk of
brain tumors associated with mobile phone use.
When tumors did exist in certain locations,
however, they were more likely to be on the side of
the head where the mobile phone was used.
Because this occurred in only a small number of
cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be
statistically significant.
In summary, we do not have enough information
at this point to assure the public that there are, or
are not, any low incident health problems

associated with use of mobile phones. FDA
continues to work with all parties, including other
federal agencies and industry, to assure that
research is undertaken to provide the necessary
answers to the outstanding questions about the
safety of mobile phones.
What is known about cases of human cancer that
have been reported in users of hand-held mobile
phones?
Some people who have used mobile phones have
been diagnosed with brain cancer. But it is
important to understand that this type of cancer
also occurs among people who have not used
mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the
U.S. population at a rate of about 6 new cases per
100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming 80
million users of mobile phones (a number
increasing at a rate of about 1 million per month),
about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be
expected each year among those 80 million
people, whether or not they used their phones.
Thus it is not possible to tell whether any
individual’s cancer arose because of the phone, or
whether it would have happened anyway. A key
question is whether the risk of getting a particular
form of cancer is greater among people who use
mobile phones than among the rest of the
population. One way to answer that question is to
compare the usage of mobile phones among
people with brain cancer with the use of mobile
phones among appropriately matched people
without brain cancer. This is called a case-control
study. The current case-control study of brain
cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as well as

the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry,
will begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile
phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as
mobile phones before marketing, as it does with
new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency
has authority to take action if mobile phones are
shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous
to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the
manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of
the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall
the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify
FDA regulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged
the mobile phone industry to take a number of
steps to assure public safety. The agency has
recommended that the industry:
• support needed research into possible biological
effects of RF of the type emitted by mobile phones;
• design mobile phones in a way that minimizes
any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary
for device function; and
• cooperate in providing mobile phone users with
the best possible information on what is known
about possible effects of mobile phone use on
human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency
working group of the federal agencies that have
responsibility for different aspects of mobile
phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the
federal level. These agencies are:

In the absence of conclusive information about
any possible risk, what can concerned individuals
do?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this
point we do not know that there is--it is probably
very small. But if people are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, there are simple
steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person
receives. Those persons who spend long periods of
time on their hand-held mobile phones could
consider holding lengthy conversations on
conventional phones and reserving the hand-held
models for shorter conversations or for situations
when other types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations
in their cars every day could switch to a type of
mobile phone that places more distance between
their bodies and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. For example, they could switch to:
• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located
outside the vehicle,
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna
connected to a different antenna mounted on the

outside of the car or built into a separate package,
or
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile
phone carried at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that
mobile phones are harmful. But if people are
concerned about the radio frequency energy from
these products, taking the simple precautions
outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
